However from where I’m standing, the numbers just don’t add up.   This was an all cash deal, no stocks or shares packages. Skype [...]

For the past couple of days I have received a number of emails from SEDO notifying me that a number of domains I have bidded on in the past have been relisted, but this time as FIXED PRICE listings.       Now, I know sedo and many other large domain auction houses say domains that have a fixed price sell in far higher quantity than those with ‘make offer’.
