SEDO idn.eu auction

Lidador · 12-15-2009, 04:31 AM

The SEDO idn.eu auction is a great opportunity to know what are the most valuable multi-lingual European domain names, since everything was free at start.

Below is an excel file with all the names on auction and the current winning bids.

I expect to update the file very close to the end of the auction. I've made a custom php script to scrap the data, do you think it would be useful to scrap everyday data on SEDO idn auctions and post it here? Is this against SEDO tos?!

Anyway some observations from the data extracted:
1. As expected German language is king
2. There are a lot of non-german domains with 99€ bids which have the .com still free. Do you think a Russian.eu is worth more than a Russian.com?! The bidders seem to think so.
3. This is BIG bussiness for... SEDO! Pocketing 700.000€ already if the auction ended now.

I think some russians .eu would work very well but only those which can be used as a business to provide goods/ services to russians from EU/EU based. Those are natural addresses and should be valuable. For example, poker. eu or Russia .eu are not good domains in Russian. But Cosmetics.eu in Russian is a good domain.

Thanks for the list. Surprised to see that only 4 people downloaded it so far.

Updated again, just before the closing of most auctions. (same link)

I have the final values, but there was an error on the cron and ended up creating tons of files instead of one. I doubt I will ever have the willingness to sort that out.

I keep missing the landrushes because I keep thinking of them as loser extensions... Domainers keep getting bids on the secondary market the day after they are acquired tho..

Lesson learned

I think Russia should die trying to get that Russia .eu domain name!)))))

Seems like we wont see those sales on dnjournal...

Dnjournal.com not listing domain sales from Sedo? | Domain News

So, I have put together in a rar file all the 5 to 5 minute scraps from that day. If anyone wants to compile that, be my guest.

(I know I should have coded a better scraper, but I did it in 5 min, as I was expected the listing to become public)

When I click on link, it does not display correctly, how do I view it correct?

Also the .rar file is not associated to a program in my computer, which program do i associate it with to open/view it.

Appreciated
