Sedo, the leading online domain marketplace and monetization provider, today announced it will hold its Travel and Geographical domain-themed auction, featuring premium addresses with a broad selection of extensions. Large and small to medium-sized travel industry organizations alike and domain investors will have the opportunity to acquire some of the most desirable properties, including Belgium.com, VisitSpain.net, Tourism.biz, and Souvenirs.net. This Sedo auction will run from 9 a.m. EST on March 5, 2010 to 9 a.m. EST on March 12, 2010.

In addition to these valuable virtual properties that will be auctioned off, Sedo is offering highly desired fixed-price domains, including PuertoRico.com, Sweden.com, Hotel.eu, and Morocco.com. Sedo’s ongoing “Buy it Now” inventory is available anytime at www.sedo.com/Travel.

Travel and geo domains are some of the most valuable online properties on the market today. Sedo brokered some of the highest sales in 2009, including Russia.com for $1.5 million, the second highest sale ever in its category, Fly.com, which was acquired by TravelZoo for $1.6 million, Brazil.com for $500,000, and Jets.com for $375,000. In addition, GetaRoom.com, which was also purchased through Sedo.com, is being successfully used as a search engine for great deals on hotel rooms.

“We are extremely happy with our purchase of the domain name getaroom.com. It is easy to remember and stands out from the crowd,” said Bob Diener, founder of Getaroom.com. “We have been advertising getaroom.com to build brand awareness, but the name itself has been driving visitors to our competitive hotel rates.”

“Through this auction and our ongoing inventory of domains, Sedo offers companies of all sizes and budgets, the opportunity to obtain domain names that are ideal for promoting targeted traffic to their business. Whether an investor is looking to participate in this auction event, purchase a domain for a set price, or consult with one of our brokers, Sedo offers each buyer a platform to confidently find the right domain at the right price for their business needs,” said Jeremiah Johnston, chief operating officer of Sedo. “With these premium properties, organizations can implement an effective online marketing strategy that drives maximum traffic to their doorstep, saves money on search engine marketing and improves their position in search rankings.”

Sedo is still accepting travel and geo domains for this auction event. For more information on seller criteria for Sedo’s auction, owners of these domains can contact Sedo Broker, Matt Rosebrook at Matt.Rosebrook@sedo.com. Qualifying sellers can also apply directly through their Sedo account.

Sedo Announces Travel Domain Auction

The auction features a large group of Polish and European artwork from the Estate of Serafin Dobczynski. After emigrating to the United States in the late 1940s, Mr. Dobcynski started the first shipping company that moved goods between the US and Poland. On one of his many trips to his native country, he befriended naive artist Nikifor Krynicki who was homeless and sold his work on the street. For years, Mr. Dobczynski brought him supplies and purchased much of his work. Now recognized as a cultural icon in Poland, many of Nikifor’s pieces hang in a museum devoted solely to his body of work.

Dobczynski was an avid art collector who founded Pol-Art Gallery in New York City. On auction are works from his private collection including pieces by Charyton, Falat, Iwanowski, Kramsztyk, Menkes, Nikifor, Rubczak and Szewczenko.

Other auction highlights include English, American and French furniture and decorative arts, silver including Tiffany, Caldwell and Kirk, Ceramics including Rookwood, Staffordshire, Royal Vienna and Royal Doulton, Marklin Train Set and Other Collectibles, Asian art, Rugs and many interesting group lots.

Also on offer are works by Jean Cassigneul, Edward J. Gregory, August Mosca, Frederick Waugh, Morris Henry Hobbs, August Riedel, Charles Kaelin, various prints and lithographs, and much more.

An opening reception will be held at Everard and Company, located at 2436 Waters Avenue, Savannah, GA on February 25th from 5-7 to kick off the auction exhibition, which will be held on February 26th and 27th from 10am to 4pm daily.
