Now that all the reported sales data for 2019 is in, it looks like 2019 reported sales for GoDaddy were up big in 2019 vs 2018. Sedo on the other hand saw sales slip by $2.5million. Park.io had a down year in 2019 vs 2018 as well. Reported sales were off by $343,300 or 31%.
A few notes about the Namebio data that are important for context include:
Sedo does not report sales lower than $2,000 so Namebio does not capture all of the sales below $2,000. They do however capture some of them.
GoDaddy is not including sales from Afternic/Namefind
I did not compare NameJet due to the fact that in 2018 Namebio listed NamesCon sales under NameJet’s results. In 2019 they created a separate NamesCon venue, so the data would be skewed too much in my opinion.

Thank you for the report, Godaddy volume was strong.
Well did you include GoDaddy sale of Voice.com for $30 million http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2019/2019-top-100-sales-charts.htm
That is just one domain sale.
No I did not the article is Namebio reported sales per venue. Namebio lists Voice.com as a private sale. I imagine Michael is not including GoDaddy brokered service.
Park.io had some serious competition from Dynadot during the year for .io drops.
I imagine Sedo is losing a lot of market share to Dan.com and Afternic. Their recent efforts to offer ad-free For-Sale landing pages might turn the tide a bit. Looking at Similarweb you can see their traffic is up significantly during the last few months of the year.
Sedo is done and dusted, they have no GoDaddy distribution and no reason to use them over Afternic.
