CAMBRIDGE, Mass., September 11, 2008 –- Sedo, the leading online marketplace for buying and selling domain names, today announced premium domains for its September GreatDomains Auction.  The line up includes Fly.com, Planet.com, Brews.com, Bicycle.com, and Address.net.  Domain entrepreneurs and enthusiasts will be able to place bids on these names from September 18 through September 25.

“Sedo is widely recognized for consistently delivering high quality domains through its signature GreatDomains online auctions, “said Jeremiah Johnston, Chief Operating Officer of Sedo.  “We have seen increased participation each month, a higher percentage of domains sold and higher average sale prices, and this latest auction will build on our success. ”

Sedo is hosting its GreatDomains auction instead of a live auction at the Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C Conference in New York, in order to maintain the momentum of its high-performing online auctions.

In addition, the leading online domain marketplace recently brokered six-figure domain name sales in the two character and .org spaces, including LI.com for $500K, OD.com for $220K,  OV.com for $200K and Coffee.org for $100K. 

GreatDomains’ all time, top-selling domain names include villas.com for $478,000, invest.com for  $1,015,000 and tees.com for $252,500. 

“Contrary to the speculation that Sedo would be one of the auctioneers at the upcoming TRAFFIC Conference, we’ve decided to focus our resources on our high-performing online auctions,” Johnston continued.

To participate in Sedo’s GreatDomains Auction, buyers and sellers can register at www.greatdomains.com.
