Selling rate at Sedo and other venues that report to NameBio is much lower than the rate at other venues that do not report.

A very high ratio of buyers/sellers pay the fee to keep sale information private.

Vast majority of sales are below $2k at Sedo.

Yes if that is true, then the numbers are, as you say, not at all surprising.I'm not saying that it is impossible the ratio is that low but with Sedo reporting those >$2K unless one party paid extra fee for privacy, and considering their share of domains for sale, it seems to me a 2% ratio requires (at least) one of the following:I am just thinking out loud here. If NB data does represent 2% of sales, domaining is doing better than might first seem to be the case. I think it is possible that one, or even all 3, of the possibilities I list are true. Clearly in their famous blog post Verisign assumed the ratio must be very low.Anyway, thank you for your contributions. Much to think about.Bob
