uk-shops.co.uk is for sale on SEDO.co.uk - the seller wants £5k.. I am tempted to offer maybe half of that, what do people think, I mean in terms of affiliate marketing is it any better than uk-best-shops.co.uk for instance?
However the name definitely has kudos - we could make the selling price back in a month once the site has been running about 3 months, quick where is Mogga, I need some commonsense thrown at me I think!
I wonder why the seller doesn't use it him or herself?
yeah £5k is way too steep - but you got to agree it is a damn good domain name. I bet someone pays £5k for it, for a few affiliates on this board that is pocket change...
but you got to agree it is a damn good domain name
I don't agree, actually. Don't think it's that good,
and never really understood why someone would pay a lot
of money for a domain name.
Ok, maybe www.shopping.co.uk is a good domain name
but uk-shops? (Don't reckon hyphenated domain names
are any good, despite the fact that most of the domains
I own have hyphens, in 'em).
shopping.co.uk was SUSPENDED for sometime then the owner sold it for £50.000 last min

To be honest I think that some of the "best" domains are not necessarily related to the site content (eh?) - e.g. elephant.co.uk - okay, so they have the "memorable"* tv ad campaign, but the domain does rather slip off the tongue, as opposed to some-name-maybe.whatever ..
google.com vs searchengine.com etc..
Word of mouth and ease of err memorability (?) that's the one...
Having said that a quick shufy through my own records show that I've got 70-odd active domains with a hyphen in them at the mo

Originally posted by Luke I can confirm someone has bid £4k for uk-shops.co.uk on SEDO, I can't tell you who it is though its not me...
I can't believe anyone would pay that much.
So if the .co.uk version is worth £4k, how much would the .com be worth?
I bought the .com version thinking it was a decent domain name, but nothing special. I've not put a 'proper' site on it yet, just a few shopping links to catch any type in traffic, and there's not much of that so I haven't updated it since before Christmas.
