Good day!

ameri.co.uk (thread already been done on this name)
Good one-word name can be the first name, I see it dates back 4,000 years. Can also relate to Americans/American brands in the UK. I would appraise it at $3,000 - 4,000 USD.

lobbyists.co.uk
Lobbying in the United Kingdom. Lobbying in the United Kingdom plays a significant role in the formation of legislation and a wide variety of commercial organisations, lobby groups 'lobby' for particular policies and decisions by Parliament and other political organs at national, regional and local levels. - Wikipedia

I am not familiar with UK politics. As a domain name I feel that the singular would be better, however, could appraise this at $4,000 - 8,000 USD.


whatsoever.co.uk (adverb)

Possible brandable name. I would appraise it at $500 - $1,000 USD.

voluntarily.co.uk
(adverb)
The UK is pretty active with volunteer work and non-profits. I would appraise this name at $2,000 - 4,000 USD.

threatened.co.uk
(verb)
Could be a name for a non-profit. I would appraise it at $5,000 - 7,000 USD. Good luck getting a sale here.

saccharine.co.uk (keyword health-related)
$500 - 1,500 USD.

opposing.co.uk
(keyword Government related)
$3,000 USD

eschew.co.uk (verb)
$1,500 USD

conflicting.co.uk (adjective)
$1,000 USD

childbearing.co.uk
(noun)
Great name for UK Gov or book about the subject or used for a fertility clinic in the UK.

betoken.co.uk
(verb)
$2,500 USD

barer.co.uk
(comparative adjective)
$4,000 USD

bacteriology.co.uk
(noun)
This one is interesting, as it is a field of study and jobs come up to go into the field of bacteria. To an HR or recruiting firm looking for these candidates, it could be worth pricing it at $7,000 USD or more. You would need to determine what the salary of a person who works in this field make and if the job is in demand or not and then adjust list price accordingly.

attributable.co.uk
(adjective)
$3,000 USD

assigner.co.uk
(noun)
A person to whom property is assigned; assignee. assignable, adjective. assignability, noun. assignably, adverb. assigner, noun. Nice little legal name here. $5,000 USD or pounds minimum, see what sticks.

assessable.co.uk
(verb used with object)
To estimate officially the value of (property, income, etc.) as a basis for taxation.
A Property valuation expert would love this name, hit them with $5,000 USD or pounds minimum, see what sticks.

arching.co.uk (verb)

An architect might like this name. $5,000 USD or pounds minimum, see what sticks.

antiadware.co.uk

$500 USD. Don't see much.

ambulate.co.uk
(verb)
$3,000 USD

aggravate.co.uk
(verb)
$3,000 USD

admonish.co.uk
(verb)
$2,000 USD

achieves.co.uk
(verb)

I would agree with Darryl that some of these names have value but you need to be careful with the following;
I see some of these are recent hand-regs or you picked up after they expired. You only have the .co.uk while the .uk is still available. Chances are anyone looking to pick up these names would hand-reg the .uk for a few £ rather than pay more for the .co.uk

Also you need to be aware that some of the names that would possibly suit a non-profit more than a business would more than likely prefer to register the .org.uk name which again I see is free to register for most of the names you have.

Until the alternatives are registered, I don't see you being able to fulfil the potential some of these may have. It also makes it expensive if you try to register the alternatives and need to sit on all the renewals until you sell a few.

really really appreciate the detailed feedback from both of you!

with the .uk I have first option to buy them until June 2019? Is that right?

Correct all very recent hand regs - also with the .orgs you are right on this point - will look into it and see if there is value in picking them up

This only applies to domains registered before 10th June 2014. Anything registered since then will not have rights to .uk and must be registered separately.

Also, I hate to break it to you but Darryl's appraisals are way off. Most of these are not worth much at all. Possibly $xxx at best on a couple of them if you're lucky. Ameri.co.uk sounds nice.

I have sold plenty of .co.uk domains, like LLL's, one words, and been involved in the UK namespace for several years as a UK registrar. I don't think you'll get anywhere close to $xxxx on any of these. I hope you prove me wrong, but the very fact that no drop catcher in UK saw fit to pick up any of these is also not a good sign.

I wish you all the best though.

yes, I have to agree with Daves post. above

These aren't the kind of domains that would attract any UK buyer, a visit to domainlore (.co.uk) will show you what is selling on a daily basis. even good keywords rarely sell above UK£500. Admittedly this is a domainers resale site but it will show you that domains really have to be top notch to sell.

and Dave is correct, a registration would have to be prior to June 2014 to secure the new shorter .UK rights

thanks - had a look on the site - will list them all on there for a minimum of £50 and see what happens! / except the ameri one which i think has more potential - thanks again!

you might just want to test the water with one or two at first. Domainlore does charge a UK£5 listing fee per domain. though that is credited back if your domain sells - It's a different model but one that works to ensure decent listings

Save your money. Resellers won't buy these type of names for £50. You'll pay £5 for every domain not sold, and I genuinely think none of these would sell on there, so you'll be down £5 x domains submitted.

Best thing to do is put them up on Sedo or such and see if you get any bites from end users.

Good luck!

That's a very nice portfolio, but I believe @Darryl Lopes grossly overpriced its value.

Some sales from 2017:
buffering.co.uk = ~$500
fasting.co.uk = ~$300
transporting.co.uk = ~$250
closing.co.uk = ~$230

And I think your *ing words may have similar value.

Following sales from 2014-2017:
likeable.co.uk = ~$200
measurable.co.uk = ~$100
acceptable.co.uk = ~$80
playable.co.uk = ~$80

There is little chance that assessable or attributable might be worth $3000-$5000 to anyone. More likely $100-$500.

I actually believe my pricing is pretty spot on. You never going to get the mid to high figure prices if you do not ask or list them for those prices. I have priced thousands of names. As a Domain Broker who previously worked with Uniregistry, you can pull a report at Namebio with the extension .co.uk and date range as the past year (2017), and venue as Uniregistry, you will see the lowest sale was $2,500 and highest sale of $14,000 USD. That is why I am prone to quote higher prices, no matter the name because of those results.

kaizin.co.uk 14,000 USD 2017-09-17 Uniregistry
kaizen.co.uk 14,000 USD 2017-08-07 Uniregistry
myfonts.co.uk 10,000 USD 2017-05-30 Uniregistry
homerun.co.uk 6,000 USD 2017-08-22 Uniregistry
gloriousgangsta.co.uk 5,000 USD 2017-09-07 Uniregistry
waldo.co.uk 3,750 USD 2017-08-28 Uniregistry
express24.co.uk 3,500 USD 2017-04-27 Uniregistry
euroline.co.uk 3,000 USD 2017-07-30 Uniregistry
hairclub.co.uk 3,000 USD 2017-06-21 Uniregistry
sweetpotatoes.co.uk 2,500 USD 2017-06-06 Uniregistry

Also, it does not matter if a domain name is hand registered, dropped and picked up or 20 years old, it does play a factor in pricing certainly, but it does not hinder you from sticking to sub-XXX levels just because it is new or no of value to some people. You could price every name at $1 million dollars if you wanted (You get my point). Not to mention now you have secured the matching .uk intentions as well, this is added negotiation power, which some fail to use in negotiations.

Note: When you get inquiries, quote the price and in a follow-up email, you can include the .uk as a freebie.Therefore, I stick to my appraised numbers I gave you even more.

I have an ear to the ground and I feel .co.uk is going to have one of the best runs in sales records going into the middle of 2018.

It's all a matter of opinion at the end of the day and I hope you prove us all wrong.

I would strongly go with Dave's advice, he's very experienced in the UK namespace. With him also being a dropcatcher, he has a strong idea of what other investors are catching which would give a strong indication of what end users want.

Use a website like companysearch.co.uk and see if any of the keywords are represented in a companies name. If you have a 1-word domain and you can't find at least 1 company (registered or dissolved) then I'd say the name(s) are worthless imo.

.co.uk buyers are not only from the UK.

Seeing if the matching .com is developed, is something I would also strongly suggest .co.uk owners do.

championship & Darrly thank you for replying and providing your insights - appreciate it!

As someone else said, a visit to domainlore would be beneficial. Most of these would sell for xx or low xxx, if at all.

Even great sounding co.uks don't seem to go for much.

Sunsets just sold for 75 quid.
Localplumber for 85 quid.

As a UK person, I doubt many of these would be of interest to UK businesses. Sorry, but I think the first responder was aiming a little high with his predicted prices

Yes, that is true. But these are very rare examples, these simply come off as lottery ticket style names.

I think the domain from which you can make the most profits is bacteriology .co.uk

if you look at the large pharmaceutical companies' and their domains, you will find very similar names, so make a reserch e find out which one is your best option snd contact them. I would say that if you price this domain up to £10k you will find a buyer
