Dave Evanson, sold the highest priced domain for Sedo: Broker.com.
Sedo announced today the trends that marked its sales throughout 2016.
Short .com domains continued to dominate sales, as expected, along with generic domain names.
For example, Broker.com had the highest price tag among domains sold through Sedo in 2016, at $375,000 dollars. Dave Evanson was the broker of this highest sale.
Short domains were particularly popular; the trend was demonstrated by having the most bids on domains with one to three characters.
