1) All the sales venue report sales above a certain amount. As a result, a lot of sales go unreported.
2) NDA signed between parties
3) Venues such as forums where sales take place in private transaction may not be reported
4) Brokered domain sales are private.
5) Many domain sales outside of US goes unreported. IDN sales are rarely reported.
6) Corporate acquisitions does not give the exact amount of domain names.
