Not looked into this - do you have the link between them and sedo?

 

[zee]

had info from domainstate.com
Domcollect = Sedo's own Domain Holding
ideal position for them, ask cat to guard cream! .z

 

[grantw]

I sent them my portfolio, they handpicked hundreds of the best traffic/rev. domains and made an offer of well under 12 months rev. A month later I sold 3 of the domains for more than their offer for the lot! Complete waste of time................

DomCollect are Sedo.

Page 38 shows that DomCollect are 100% owned by Sedo.
Sedo GmbH, Cologne (52.14 %)

> DomCollect Worldwide Intellectual Property AG, Zug / Switzerland (100 %)

Sedo does not buy or sell domain names. We are purely a marketplace through which domains can be sold or bought.

They have such a good business model, I don't understand why they should continue to lie publicly, I can only imagine that it is not seen as straight play to both be a broker and to be a trader at the same time.

There might be a conflict of interest that they are trying not to show, because they are e.g. privvy to sales information that sellers/buyers may not know they are giving, despite having signed confidentiality, or no disclosure agreements.

Classic considering the other threads where they claim not to own or buy names

naughty naughty!

Sedo you are a dumbarse, DomCollect itsyours, why hide your netidentity, fuckwits. You are a bunch of poos, say after me isuck

 

[rob]

No wonder they are only lowballing if they are after crap like that!

 

[paul]

They do have a few good ones like contents, dvdgames and debtproblem but most are crap IMHO.

I had the 'we are buying' email so asked if they were sedo - replied:

"DomCollect is a subsidiary of Sedo GmbH. We are in the business to acquire premium and traffic-earning domains."

Not surprised to hear this. If I were Sedo I would plough back most of the profits into domain buying. Means that they don't have to split revenue any more and there is no chance of the domain being placed with another parking provider. I've not had a 'we are buying' email but recently I've had a couple of vague approaches (i.e. no actual offer) from a Sedo broker in respect of a premium finance domain which we're not that interested in selling. I'm not suggesting that the broker was working for a Sedo subsidiary but I think it would help if a Sedo rep came onto the forum to explain their relationship with their subsidiary DomCollect i.e. do they share information? do they use the same staff? will DomCollect have access to SedoPro client account information? will Sedo brokers be used by DomCollect to buy domains? Unless we are given some answers I think we're all going to be a little bit hesitant every time an anonymous buyer approaches us via a Sedo broker on one of our better domains.

NB: Perhaps this thread should be put in the Sedo section so that Sedo staff can definitely read and reply.

Is there any significance in the Swiss location?

Is there any significance in the Swiss location?

can't think of any - perhaps Sedo can enlighten us

 

[Brassneck]

Swiss location may mean no VAT? I just sold a big portion of my traffic names to them.

12 months? That's poor, are they in for it long term or just in it for taking the ****?

Sorry didn't see this discussion until now, it may dent interest but I'm moving out of sedo today, **** 'em, 'scuse the stars. Invite me to sedo pro will you, stick it where you put my request last time. It wouldn't surprise me if they're behind low offers on sedo, buying them for themselves, any proof? What a disgrace.

 

[retired_member6]

I am so angry!!!!!!!!

Have you noticed, the ones you're linking to, they've actually bought some of them, do you think they do low offers on sedo and annoy the hell out of all of us whilst at the same time inflating the offer figures on sedo? They don't do that as well do they whilst privy to better keywords and matching traffic?
