.co.uk auction on Sedo.com with no Reserve Price!!! Over 500 names on sale

[lazarus]

Maybe Sedo can add this into there website/auction process. I would not be comfortable placing a bid and not knowing if it was included or not until after the action has ended. I can see this being a sticking point for all .co.uk auctions on Sedo going forward.

All the current bids that have come in for the .co.uk domains have the rights to reserve the .uk as well. Until the seller confirms the .uk (included or not) it will be taken as a .co.uk auction for the rest.

Which is 'legally' incorrect and could place both seller and Sedo in a heap of trouble. As it stands, from those I've checked, the .uk right of registration are in place, and therefore are paired with the .co.uk. For the seller to now register the .uk would be a breach of the existing link between them, not that I'm suggesting this is what will happen. All a disaster!

 

[lazarus]

Yep assuming is no good, it needs to be stated before bidding commences. The seller can register the .uk in between the auction ending and transferring of the .co.uk. The buyer wont have a leg to stand on regarding .uk rights.

Dhanush, great to see you engaging here, but it's unfortunate that's it's only to market an auction and never when there is an issue.

There are some names there I'd bid on if the .uk issue was resolved. Why haven't you resolved it? It's come up over and over and over again.

Hi everyone,

Seller confirmed that buyers have rights to all .uk names in the auction as well.

Hi bonusmedia,

As mentioned before in this thread, I just started here at Sedo. This is my first real interaction with the acorndomains community. I will be here if there are any issues concerning Sedo that I can help with.

Good stuff, will await seeing it mentioned in the auction itself.

Certainly hope Sedo can resolve this matter going forward, it has only been almost 4 years!

Sedo isn't the only major marketplace to make no provision for indicating .uk status..... to be honest I blame Nominet primarily. Should have just given every .co.uk owner 1 month to claim free 5 year registration for the .uk from day one, and then left everybody to get on with it.

This 'rights' thing is complicated. Its bad enough having to explain the transfer process to a clueless end user without having to try and explain .uk rights to people.

Auction still doesn't state the inclusion. What a waste of time.

Hi Ian,

Besides announcing here, I made the seller update all his domains yesterday. You will find the information (.uk right to register) on each domain in the description field. I hope it is not a "waste of time" for you any more.

Dhanush

The Auction will be ending in 1 day and 7 hours from this post.

Good stuff, showing now, needed a hard refresh. Well done for at least clarifying a point past Sedo reps haven't been willing/able to do. Just have to hope Sedo fix this for future sales/auctions.

Thank you Ian. I will definitely push Sedo for this change.

Thankyou mattyr45. I do hope you get some really good ones.

The Seller is moving on from the domain business and hence wants to get rid of his entire portfolio. hence the no reserve price auction.

here is the link once more to the auction: .co.uk auction
