Competition

[retired_member6]

So before I redirect all my domains to you, after moving wholesale out of 123-reg, are you in direct competition with me? Now's the time to tell me before I find out which is your subsidiary company beating me to domains I like.

Cheers

Um. Is this directed at me?

A bit confused.

Yes, look in the sedo forum if you missed it. Re Domcollect.

I have taken my domains off of sedo because they directly compete with me in domaining so supporting and partnering with Sedo is a stupid nay idiotic thing to do and I was wondering if you currently or are likely to in the future, compete with me in buying domains at a find and seek level when dropping.

As at this moment in time I don't see you as a threat but naturally I've been competing with Sedo for months and didn't know so just thought I'd ask. That's all, then once I get the answer I'm hoping to get, I should be able to spend time moving all my domains around and into Namedrive.

Cheers

You don't fund your competitors unless you get value in return more over than what you've given them or at the very least the existing partnership works both ways.

After today and Sedo being far from satisfactory in method and their showing of their madness, there's no point me parking and trying to sell with them when I'm being beaten at the post by them for domains which in turn I would have put on sedo and listed for sale.

It's a no brainer.

"Oh not to worry Sedo, you beat me to another domain, don't worry, next one I'll get I'll park with you regardless..."

Hi Lee,

I understand now. I can also understand your annoyance about DomCollect and UI's power in the UK drop catching market and the UK in general.
I'm not going to pretend that we don't own domains, as anyone in this space does, but we do not participate in UK drops and we certainly don't pretend to be another buying / selling entity which is where the crossover of interest comes.

Hope this allays your fears.
