But its the UK and a massive difference.

US population 304 million
UK population 61 million

If we were comparing org to org.uk, In the US alone (although .org has a world wide appeal) there is 5 times the buying power and more importantly, 5 times more potential customers for the same number of domains.

It would cost £40K to slurp up that lot. I let 30 of mine go back into the pot 3 months ago.

I don't think there is a strong enough market for them. I do think there is for generics, but I think lll's is a different kettle of fish.

I bought 80 of them. In 2 years i've had one offer. It came from a charity. They asked me how much, I said £250 and they said they hoped to get it for £50 max. After a 2 minute google, I found out it was the same charity that had just been gifted £1 million pounds from Terry Pratchett 2 weeks before!

Has there been any significant sales of them?
