1,125 domains in December — Sedo sells

Domain name aftermarket Sedo closed out 2005 with a bang.

The firm disclosed it sold 1,125 domains for a total price of $2,878,279. That averages out to $2,558, but that’s misleading. Take a look at the big sales that skew that number: Recycling.com $300k, ProShop.com $100k, etc.

Sedo completed 18 six-figure sales in 2005 counting their website.com at $750k and Annuity.com at $600k. The firm disclosed that it snatched up 100,000 fresh members in 2005.

Hold on, think regarding that number for a second! 100,000 fresh members in one year! A lot of fresh members are probably fresh to the domain name aftermarket and got excited regarding articles in The Wall Street Journal and Business 2.0.

Sedo broke its previous total sales volume with 2005 transactions topping $25M. Congrats to the team at Sedo!
