“Why Sedo keeps expired inventory (available domains) in the first place in its database? Sedo Fail.”

I recently reported my experience with Sedo here http://bit.ly/3zZ7rR
and while this time it worked in favor of the buyer, on the long term, everyone loses, except Sedo themselves.

@Gormley: that’s a bit too much IMO. Some people are really desperate for cash and you never know what could happen if you play around like that. Even if a situation pisses me off, why would I spend time doing something destructive? We’re all here to make some serious coin, let’s keep our eyes on the prize

I don’t know, but it’s standard and incredibly obnoxious. I’d say a full 10% of all drops I hand-reg have old, rotting SEDO sale ads.
I usually make an exorbitant offer on the name (that I now own) just to twist the sellers balls and hopefully, make them jump off a bridge because they just let a name expire that ’someone’ now wants to pay $20,000 for LOL.

Maybe he thought it was on autorenew or it was registered with a company he doesn’t have many domains with, either way he learned a valuable lesson as well.

It’s a love-hate relationship, it all depends on what side of the fence you’re on: in this case, I managed to snag a nice domain at reg fee thanks to their screw-up but as a seller yeah, the fact that their database is filled with domains which are either currently available or no longer owned by the people who listed them (as a result, “legit” domains receive less exposure) kind of sucks.
