Again I don't necessarily think that leasing is the best idea but I think GoldDigger's points are pretty valid and I see your side too.

Playing devils advocate on some of your points...
Well you couldn't be stitched up because there'd be a contract so as long as the person leasing saw it for what it was then there wouldn't be any surprises.

Depending on how it's structured there could be a massive difference between leasing and a joint venture.

For the right buyer Morecambe might be a xxxx domain, I've no idea on the size of that town so wouldn't like to guess. If I was called Liam (I'm not) I'd pay £1k just to have that for an email address/personal site. Studentbooks and londonstudent are xxx, imo. Of course we can both say what something is worth, but ultimately its worth what someone else is willing to pay for it at that moment in time. |
Gosh Shogun, I agree with some of what you said earlier but I think you are really out of touch with this last chunk of stuff you typed.
StudentBooks.com and LondonStudent.co.uk xxx ????
Morecambe.co.uk 'might' be an xxxx domain ???
Wow. If only you knew the offers I'd had for these domains.
