By
now
most of you are familiar with multiple
listing services offered by
well-known aftermarket domain sales platforms
operated by well-known companies like Sedo,
Afternic and Fabulous. Once you
enter a name in the venue's system, in addition
to appearing on the company's main site, the
domain also becomes available for sale
through their many network partners,
including a Who's Who of leading registrars.
These systems have dramatically increased the visibility
of domains offered for sale.

However,
you may not have known that in most of
these systems only a handful of TLDs
are accepted for the network. Sedo says
its SedoMLS
Premium Network offers the
most - a total that rose to nine
today when the company announced it is now
supporting the European Union's .EU
extension. .EU joins .COM, .NET,
.ORG, .INFO, .US, .CO, .BIZ and .NAME as
extensions that can now be distributed
through the SedoMLS. In
announcing the new partnership with EURid,
the .EU Regsitry, Sedo noted that more
than 3.5 million .EU domains are
currently registered globally, and with a
population of 500 million, the
European Union represents one of the
largest single markets in the world for
premium names. Sedo also pointed out that
the TLD has already had a number of
significant aftermarket sales including Apotheke.eu
( €51,000), Blackjack.eu
($45,000), Telefonbuch.eu
(€28,000), Internet.eu ($26,250)
and Money.eu ($20,005). |

Sedo’s
CEO, Tobias Flaitz, said. “The SedoMLS
Premium network is unique in the industry, in
that we have a truly global perspective. For our
customers, adding a new extension to this
distribution channel makes the network even more
global, and offers the chance for them to sell
their domain names to end users around
the world.” Speaking
of Sedo, in case you missed it, earlier this
week we published a new
profile
article about the company,
detailing how Sedo has evolved since we first
profiled them nearly a decade ago in a 2004
Cover Story.
