Another $20 Million in Domains in Q3 — Sedo Sells

Domain broker has solid Q3, but will have a huge Q4.

Domain name broker Sedo has released its third quarter Domain Market Study, reporting over $20 million USD in sales for the latest quarter. This is down slightly from the firm’s results in the same quarter 2009, and is also lower than each of the first two quarters this year. (I’m sure the firm is looking forward to its Q4 note, which will get a nice boost from the $13 million sale of Sex.com.)

Still, the number of domains sold increased slightly year-over-year, from 9,928 domains sold in Q3 2009 10,085 sold in Q3 2010.

In a promising sign for the firm, fixed price sales increased to 28% of total transactions at Sedo last quarter. Offer-counteroffer transactions accounted for the largest chunk of sales at 42%, and marketplace auctions accounted for 19%.

The full study (UK version) is available for online viewing (pdf).
