Today Sedo launched Sedo.com/GEO for high end Geo domain names. Currently the domains listed range in price from $200,000 to $2,500,000.
Some of the domain names listed are:
- PuertoRico.com
- Scotland.com
- SouthAfrica.com
- Belgium.com
- Indonesia.com
- GreatBritain.com
This page comes less than a week after the reported sale of Russia.com for $1.5 million brokered through Sedo. Russia.com was previously owned by NewMedia Holdings, Inc which also appears to own the majority of the domain names listed on Sedo.com/Geo.
If you have any questions reach out to Tessa Holcomb by either email Tessa@Sedo.com or phone 617-499-7246. Tessa was the point person on Russia.com. Make sure to tell her Chef Patrick sent you.
I think this is a good move for Sedo. The geo market seems to be hotter than ever.
Great news Patrick. Sorry to be a copycat, but I may have to post a blog entry this is so good.
Go for it. I’m sure there a few people out there that don’t read my blog, lol.
CP,
Humorous. I was going to publish my take on this tomorrow. You beat me to the punch my friend. I did recommend that Sedo.com start a geo platform, but they are missing the point big time by simply putting up a geo page.
We will have to wait and see how this evolves.
You still should. You have a strong following of GEO domainers that I’m sure don’t read my blog.
It’s a start for them. I’m sure over time it will evolve into it’s own marketplace.
Interesting development – tks for the heads up. BTW I guess you mean belgium.com
Ooops, corrected Belgium.com. Thanks.
I have a pick from that list
Can’t tell which one since I’ve been working for months at knocking the price down
Awesome names.
Eager to see if any sell.

Good luck with the acquisition. I’m sure you’ll get what you want. The brokers at Sedo are very good at creating win-win scenarios for all parties.
Great GEO’s for sale. Looks like Sedo is auctioning some real prime names. After the sale of Russia.com for 1.5 million dollars it makes me wonder what the value of Россия.com is going to be (3 million?, 10 million?) Especially since Россия.РФ has already been reserved by the Russian Federation. I think it’s time for Sedo to get moving on IDN auctions for non-latin scripts if they want to get a piece of the action. If Sedo needs help upgrading their system to support non-latin IDNs, especially cyrillic IDNs for Russian domains, I can probably help.
Once again, quality of presentation is ignored. Here’s what Sedo wrote atop this page of six- and seven-figure domains:
“This is your chance to own GreatBritian.com”
Also, one of the domains is listed simply as “Rhodes” (no extension).
With the commissions they’d make from these sales, you’d think they could afford a little proofreading?!
Guess I’ll have to point out their errors to them.
P.S. Looks like they’re only listing .com GEOs, so I’ll have to sell GreatBritain.ws elsewhere.
I’m sure they’ll add more extensions and spice things up down the road. It’s a start and a step in the right direction giving GEO domains a space of their own.
That is good news for sedo, not for domainers! The domainers need of the hour is an Open Domain market, where buyers meet Domain owners. No middle man, no commission.
I have started such a venture under sigmaNames.com
Check it out guys!
I don’t see anything wrong with a “middle man”. Selling a high end domain name is no easy task. Having a reputable company that has done this many times broker the domain name is an advantage in my eyes.
Those are most certainly great Geo names, but almost all are Countries and not Cities. Where are the City Names? I think that City Names are or can be more valuable as they are more specific. People advertise real estate and local services at the City Level not the Country Level.
Anyhow, its a step in the right direction.
I think adding a CityNameKeyword.com category would be effective as well. These are some of the top performing domains in search engines and that will only cause values to increase. I have done this at our marketplace: MediaOptions.com
Thanks Patrick for the head’s up.
