Helga-Alice von Susteren denied our request to acquire Example.com
As we posted a few days ago, someone had managed to include the domain name Example.com in the Sedo marketplace.
The domain name Example.com is reserved by the IANA, along with the .net and .org for testing purposes and it’s not active.
It’s a mystery how Example.com was allowed to be listed on Sedo in the first place.
To “play” with Sedo a little bit, we placed an offer of $100 for the domain 😀
Sedo eventually canceled it, stating the following:
“It has been brought to Sedo’s attention that the seller who has listed example.com for sale is no longer in fact the registered owner. Therefore, Sedo has no choice but to cancel your bid for example.com and remove the listing from Sedo’s site and services. While we apologize for any inconvenience, we would like to invite you to browse the Sedo marketplace for a suitable alternative. If you would like to continue to pursue the acquisition of example.com, our brokerage team would be happy to try to reach out to the current owner, to find out if the domain is for sale.”
It’s funny that the automated response does not convey the message that the domain is impossible to be sold or acquired in the first place 😀
Good work!
It all points to something fishy at Sedo
Ordinary domainers can’t get their domains bid on, or into auctions. Something must be looked into their.
