I am now really confused, it seems that domainers are not willing to start an auction by placing an opening offer on Sedo!
Now you may think that this means nobody wants the domains, but to the contrary I have now had 5 different domainers contact me this week and ask for BIN prices, they all knew the domains were for sale on Sedo and destined for the auction on Sedo as soon as the minimum bid was made. All 5 have offered way above the minimum bid amount that is clearly shown on each of the domain listings, yet when I say that I definately want the domains to go to the auction none have been willing to make a bid! My question is why?
Surely the prospective buyers know that they will get a bargain if nobody else bids, and if others do bid then it is only a fair market price it will end up at. I can understand one or two domainers out of five not willing to go to auction due to some principle or other reason but five out of five does seem odd. Is the auction idea at Sedo that unpopular amoungst domainers?
Your thoughts on this matter would be appreciated as I may have totally misjudged domainers psychology.
