The Sedo .ai domain name auction wrapped up today. There were no big sales as the greatest names just had reserve ranges much too high for investors. There are currently two auctions still going, Asmr.ai and Czar.ai. ASMR.ai looks like it will be the top sale if paid as it’s currently at $5,100. Update it closed at $6601 and Czar.ai closed at $1,650.
The high reserves just make little sense as the auction participants are mostly domain name investors. A friend said to me earlier today that he sees the expired auctions at whois.ai and now Dynadot get some great prices, why not Sedo? I think the number one thing that stands out is no reserve at those auctions.
You eliminate bidders immediately with a reserve, plenty of domainers will not participate in a reserve auction. There is something psychologically different in seeing someone have a $100K to $249,999K reserve and getting caught up in a good old fashioned bidding war. Plus those reserve ranges are too wide. There is a big difference in me dropping $100K on a name and close to a quarter of a million.
No reserve auctions are where it’s at but most will never risk their best digital assets with no reserve.
