Question about domain extension org.uk

Hi
Just wondered if a 3 letter domain word like this is worth anything
from that extension??
dud.org.uk
Thanks

I had an unsolicited email asking about purchasing my bin.org.uk. I said the price was £200. I never heard from the enquirer again. I think that price was too high.

There are still many three-letter org.uks available. I noticed neo.org.uk has just become available. I think if three letter org.uks were of any value they would all be gone.

.org.uk extensions are used in the main by British charities rather than commercial organisations so this reduces their monetary value.

Also dud, while being a three letter name (good), has negative connotations as a word and I am not sure a company would be too keen to use this name unless their initials were indeed D.U.D.

Good luck with the name.

A friend bought it, i'm in the US and don't even think I could by it..
I know he'd take $100.00 for it and might go lower..

Org.uk is just like .org. It's a good extension especially if you are targeting the U.K. market.
