Can i buy and then sell immediately with sedo? I mean i buy through sedo(their partner 1 & 1) and then can i sell immediately through sedo auctions?

In Godaddy the domain name can be auctioned only after 2 months from registration. What about sedo or afternic?

1 Comment I have just noticed the domain auction of insure.asia at 18,500 Euros (nearly $25,000 or according to today’s exchange rate, around $24,792). The auction is ending in about 3 days time and it is at the Sedo domain auction.

Sedo has recently released its 2009 Domain Market Study and statistics from the last quarter of the year. Sedo, the leading online domain marketplace and monetization provider, today announced the release of their 2009 Market Study, which includes never before released fourth quarter trends.  The company saw strong growth in full-year sales in domains bought and sold on their global marketplace in 2009, versus 2008.  Sedo represented 64 percent of the top 100 public sales in the domain industry, with the next closest competitor coming in at 8 percent.  This growth was also fueled by impressive quarter over quarter results, with a 5 percent increase in domain sales in Q4 of 2009.  In addition, Sedo accounted for 11 of the top 20 biggest sales industry-wide, compared to only 5 of the top 20 sales in 2008.  This included a surge in geographical and descriptive domains, including the sale of Fly.com for $1.6 million, Russia.com for $1.5 million, Call.com for $1.1 million, and Brazil.com for $500,000.
