Sedo
announced the $300,000 sale of DJI.com
today (in a deal brokered by Sedo Senior Sales
and Brokerage Consultant Dave Evanson).
It's the second week in a row that a 6-figure 3-letter
.com sale has been reported, coming on the
heels of last
week's $135,000 sale of RSS.com
in a private transaction.

DJI.com
may lead our latest Top 20 Domain
Sales chart when our weekly
aftermarket report comes out
Wednesday and, in any case, it will be the
6th consecutive week that a sale of
six figures (or more) has been reported. I
can already tell you the string will reach
at least seven next week because,
as part of a larger story, we will be
announcing another big sale before this
week is out (one that would currently rank
as the 2nd biggest transaction reported so
far this year).

especially
at the high end, is encouraging,
especially considering that it has come in
the middle of the summer, a time that is
typically slower for aftermarket sales.
That could portend even better things
ahead in the closing months of 2013. |

Sedo had some
other news today, announcing
the launch of a new Portuguese
language version of their site
that opens the door for them to reach
Brazil's 80 million internet users in
their own language.
Sedo noted
"the e-commerce market in Brazil has
been growing steadily, especially in
recent years, when the economic strength
of the country has increased the purchasing
power of the middle class, who
increasingly uses the Internet to do
business." Portuguese is the most
widely spoken language in the Southern
Hemisphere and Sedo believes upcoming
events there like the World Cup in
2014 and the Olympics in 2016 will
add further fuel to Brazil's rapidly
expanding online market.
Sedo’s CEO Tobias
Flaitz said, “Since Sedo was
founded, we have been known as the only
company who understands the global
nature of
|
|
the domain
industry. The introduction of our
Brazilian website continues that trend. We
now make it easier for Brazilian clients
to buy, park, and sell, but we also expand
the potential audience of buyers for all
our customers’ domains by a factor of millions.” |
