    B8.co.uk

    Memorable, brandable, etc,etc...
    Sorry, no stats.

    I don't want the earth for this, PM or post offers here.

    I'll be renewing the domain this weekend so the new owner gets a full two years.

    Thanks for the interest.
    However, if £50 is your best offer then you're out of the race I'm afraid

    Fantastic domain name. This is worth quite a bit of money.

    Nadeem,

    I'm curious, what do you see as the value in this domain? I'm sort of having this argument about "value of domains over reg fees" elsewhere (I'm on the "yes they do" side), but this one doesn't fit my personal criteria for extra value, 2 char .co.uk or not.

    I'm not saying it's worth an astronomical sum, but it's acknowledged that a two character domain name will generally have more value over a three character domain name which will have more value over a four character domain name...

    I'm currently helping a client to buy a two character dotcom and am not expecting it to sell for less than £100,000 (VN.com recently sold for $100,000).

    And, with one character .coms being released in a while, people are estimating they will go for huge figures. I would mind owning a.com !

    At the end of the day, the market dictates the value of a domain name. We own quite a number of two character .eu domain names (0j.eu, 1y.eu) and have had more interest in them then the longer domains we own...

    b8.co.uk can be used for multiple purposes, as Simon has suggested, and I'd rather own that than baited.co.uk or buyfishbait.co.uk

    >> I'm currently helping a client to buy a two character dotcom and am not expecting it to sell for less than £100,000

    Interesting comparison

    I look at domains from a fairly strict SEO POV, and I've never done any domaining stuff, so I find the view from the "other side" quite interesting. I'm sufficiently aware to know that 2 char domains are pretty good

    Sorry if I came over a little abrupt ...I should have put a guideline price.

    My BIN price would be £2,500
    However, as I said, I am open to offers so feel free to contact me.

    Also, 3c.co.uk didn't reach it's reverve at Sedo auction and so is also open to offers, direct or through Sedo if you like. Current offer on 3c is £2,500

    I read an article on some website a few months back (about how they were going to handle the release of the one character domain names), but can't find it now. Maybe somebody else can dig out some info.?

    As you know, Paypal owns x.com, but most other one character domains were not released.

    Now will let the discussion go back to Simon's domain name sale...

    It was discussed on Webmaster World way back in 2005

    Never argue with idiots. They just drag you down to their level and then beat you with their experience.

    If ignorance is bliss then some of the people I know must be orgasmic.

    Hi, thanks for the offer.

    The domain is still for sale, but has had a higher offer on another forum.
    Not sure if I'd be breaking any a4u rules if I mention the other forum here?...I'll PM you the details just in case.

    Cheers,

    Simon.
