Sedo Christmas Auction – Great PR, No Sales

I was watching the Sedo Christmas and New Year auction with interest. The auction offered several prime generic .co.uk holiday domains. These kind of names have special interest and value – see Jay’s post where he talks about ThanksGiving.com, BlackFriday.com and CyberMonday.com. Unfortunately, the sale seems to have been mostly a PR stunt, with no sales. The lack of sales is probably due to high reserves for the domains, although the bidding also does seem on the low side for several of the names.

Here are the results of the auction:

ChristmasDay.co.uk – 450 GBP – reserve not met

ChristmasEve.co.uk – 200 GBP – reserve not met

Christmas.co.uk – 14,501 GBP – reserve not met
