Why Sedo?

I don't get it: why is Sedo such a popular domain exchange? I'm interested in a name on Sedo yet I can't see what others have bid on the name AND I can't email the owner to ask a question. This leave me with no power to negotiate and I can't stand it! These seem like no-brainer features for a domain exchange. I don't get it.

For many reasons, AfterNIC is just a far superior exchange. I don't mean to sound like an AfterNIC evangelist but my experience with them has been mostly positive. AfterNIC would be perfect--for me, anyway--if they implemented some sort of screening for domain sellers. Great Domains verifies domain ownership before accepting any domains; a time consuming step but necessary, IMO. Maybe AfterNIC could employ a random auditing system, sampling domainers every once in a while for ownership verification.

I hope AfterNIC's new parking system generates more activity for their site. I refuse to list with Sedo!

hmm the Sedo parking system is alright in my opinion but if AfterNIC chooses to add a parking system to their site it would probably go well.. but i like DomainHop the best!

Afternic do have a parking system also i have just opened a new site www.productivedomains.com where you can list your domains for $3 a month and when clicked on the domain you are taking to there e-mail adress so it is easy to work out a deal.

S.E.D.O.'s parking program used to offer one of the higher rates in the industry - that is until recently. Now they're primarily focused on their domain marketplace front rather than the parking program, which will end up hurting their business in the future.

Sedo is not bad, but ive heard from countless people domainhop is the best by far!
