Today’s most established domain investors span about 25 years<\/strong> of trading domain names for profit, if we account for a 1995 launch of the commercial Internet. Hello, Rick Schwartz!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of us began their journey a bit later on, and are close to clocking two full decades of active domain investing. Activity status isn’t gauged by a person’s age, but by how long they’ve actively delved in domains.<\/p>\n

Others are just now completing their fourth or fifth rotation around the domain sun, and the domain investor universe is growing rapidly.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, I recently completed a domain acquisition using Sedo<\/strong><\/a>. The domain was listed with the same BIN price on Sedo, Afternic and SAV; I wanted to test the latter, but in the end I went for the good old faithful, as I’ve been a Sedo member since 2004. I’m a very light user of Afternic, but this will be changing now that Uniregistry portfolios are being listed there.<\/p>\n

During the exchange of messages with the Sedo system, I was told not to worry because the seller is a “well-known” domain investor. Upon checking the seller’s details, I realized that he’s among the top echelon of domainers, due to his ability to roll out successful projects.<\/p>\n

Upon paying, I received the auth code quickly, and then waited the full five days for the transfer to complete. My seller didn’t approve the transfer out manually, and that’s ok. I wanted to experiment with how immersed a seller of this caliber would be into the exchange. It seems that once on autopilot, domain portfolios of busy investors are left solely in the hands of domain selling venues.<\/p>\n

I could not have reached out directly to them before the sale, due to WHOIS privacy. And I decided not to bug them during the sale, despite being LinkedIn contacts. I wanted to have a neutral experience, on a neutral platform and wasn’t particularly rushed about it.<\/p>\n

It’s good seeing Sedo handle the domain exchange process as smooth as ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
