Another major sale

[Venga]

Seems gold.co.uk sold yesterday for 42,050 GBP (appr. $63,800) which makes it (depending on the exchange rate) one of the top 20 reported sales so far this year.

Link? :blink:

Who was the buyer, and what are their specific development (and promotion) plans? :gl:
Thanks much,
Jeff

Love to see signs that the domain industry is recovering!!

 

[Venga]

Venue was Sedo.

Great domain and a reasonable sale. Could have gone for more in better times but someone got a good deal. :imho:

 

[gpmgroup]

mobilephones.co.uk £91,500 = $137,881 (sedo)

Closed on the 11/03/10 so may have not been paid for yet

Actually I agree that it should have gone for more BECAUSE of the recession. Gold has become a hot commodity sold by shills on tv comnercials all over the place as a "safe way" to diversify investments.

Somebody got a bargain on both those sales.

I would have held onto those TBH. Not the right time to sell a real premium like that. .co.uk is a very high quality ccTLD and with the keyword GOLD, I would not have sold for anything less than xxx'xxx value.

Somebody definitely got a HUGE bargain there

As well sold on March 11/Sedo:

weddinggift.com + weddinggifts.com $160,000
musicvideos.com $250,000

The local UK search volume for "gold" is bigger than the global for "wedding gift" and "wedding gifts" combined, btw.

Agreed, those names went for cheap IMO

^ Ah, thanks kindly ... let's all keep our eyes on it to see who the buyer is/was, and what their specific development and promotional plans are going to be for the site! :gl: :imho:

Best regards,

I believe the buyer was me

Thanks guys for all the positive comments - It's a great feeling knowing you made the right decision when so many others are also agreeing it was a bargain too - I done everything in my power to stop it from going into auction, otherwise it would have sold for a great deal more I'm sure.

Take care,
BG

 

[Jeff]

^ Congrats, BG! :tu:

Should we soon be looking ... for its development and promotions (if you can share)? :talk: :lala:
Good Luck,
Jeff

 

[vjyong]

It really worth the gold! But its also need develop sites

Nice one, good luck with the project. I think you are right, auction or waiting another year would see at least double the price. :wave:

I used to go to MusicVideos.com | Music Videos | Hip Hop Music Video | World Music Music | Live Music Band years back lol But youtube exists so...

As well sold on March 11/Sedo:

weddinggift.com + weddinggifts.com $160,000
musicvideos.com $250,000

But yeah, I find it hard to believe gold.co.uk didn't fetch at the LEAST $100,000 US. This was a start buy. Even with no development in mind, you could resell this for many multiples of your buying price given a year or 2.

 

[Venga]

Dolcevita .com just fetched $120,000, Sedo too.

 

[Venga]

And plenty.at 17,850 Euros (about $24,000) - quite remarkable for the Austrian TLD.

 

[Venga]

Pakistan.de seems to have sold for 65,450 EUR (about $88K)

Where was it sold? Can you share more information please?

Thanks!

 

[Venga]

It just appeared on Sedo´s front page / recent sales. As well as Kobo.org for $10,000.

 

[SiberForum]

Where was it sold? Can you share more information please?

Thanks!

It must be SEDO

 

[Venga]

Yes, they just closed duiattorney.org at $35,000 , too. The domain name market does not seem to be too bad, recently.

Another uk: debtrecovery.co.uk 10,500 GBP (appr. $15,500) / Sedo
