First Ever .co.uk Auction!

[philiporchard]

The link from homepage of Sedo to .co.uk auction is not showing the list of domains on Mac in Chrome, Firefox or Safari.

Will check on PC now. Very frustrating!

Ah - Firefox on Mac has stopped showing the results. Will check in different browser.

I had the same problem on FF and Chrome on PC earlier. Corrected itself after a few minutes.

Just tried on PC - can't get it to load on there either ...

Sedo expects the seller to transfer the domain in question with any associated rights that may pertain to the domain at the point of sale. Further, the seller can indicate what they wish to sell with the domain in the ‘offer description’ box. A failure to transfer the domain with unclaimed .UK rights when the .UK rights were unclaimed at the point of sale or the seller has indicated the inclusion of .UK rights with the domain in the ‘offer description box’, would result in breach of contract.

But that still doesn't help us, and personally still prevents me from bidding.

Sedo are notorious for refusing to get involved when transactions don't complete. You just say 'here is the guys contact info, feel free to take legal action if you want'.

In a regular transaction, at least if someone refuses to complete I'm going to get my money back. Its going to be a complete mess if he pushes the .co.uk and marks the transaction as finished - I'm risking only getting half of what I paid for.

So the bids I did want to make, won't be getting made. You're costing your own customers money here due to this farce of an auction

Couldn't decide whether to keep upping my bid on paint...this post has convinced me it isn't worth the risk/potential hassle.

All SEDO had to do was confirm payment wouldn't be made to the seller unless the domain was under their control before the deadline.

Fun to watch

Go on menshoes, you can do it

Aye, although I was unsuccessful in selling mine, I'm still glued to it to see how cider, tequilla and paint do. Addictive!

 

[Retired_Member39]

I liked Effective.co.uk, I think whoever bought it for £661 got a good deal.

 

[bonusmedia]

Tequila's coming from behind - looks like it will make the finish line after all...

 

[MangoFish]

2,679 GBP for cider.co.uk is a bargain I reckon. Highlight of the auction.

When all the results are in, please could someone post on here. Thanks

Check out the tab on domainlore. Not a pretty site !

Cider and Tequila were the two I would have bid on. Pretty ridiculous that Sedo were told by multiple people we weren't going to bid without proper clarification of the .uk status and they still don't even bother doing it properly.

Looks like my prediction was close - Paint was the only one above 5k that sold.

 

[Murray]

A lot of the better domains weren't priced to sell

united, it, queen, prince etc reserves were "one off" end user prices

There were only very few domains of any quality that also has reasonable reserves, so was always going to be a bit of a damp squib in term of the number of domains that actually sold.

Paint didn't meet the reserve...nothing over £5K sold

According to Domainlore paint was bid up to £5500... wasn't it a 5k reserve?

All the reserves were ranges, not exact figures.

I believe paint.co.uk was £5,000 - £9,999 reserve range.
