Nobody could find anyone that owned it. It's amazing that it got renewed , well amazing being the word that I use when I don't want to get sued.

How much were people prepared to offer? I too was interested in the name however wasn't sure of value with there being big differences in sales of ggg, kkk and lll (all .co.uk) domains? Still trying to get better with valuations

kkk was a non-starter really with the obvious association. I wouldn't put that in the mix to calculate other same-three-letter domains.

I enquired about the name last year before it expired and had been in contact with the liquidators KPMG ever since. After checking with the majority purchasers of Berkeley Berry Birch Plc's assets, they confirmed that the domain had not been bought by them therefore KPMG as far as I believe have the rights to sell it. They declined my original offer and since decided to pass it to an auctioneer for disposal (I don't plan on purchasing it).

There seems to be a bit more to it from what I found out, the person people who renewed this name were certainly not KMPG.

Not much more I can say past that, but that I do know.

If it wasn't the owner, the only other party who could have renewed it is a Registrar. If they did it without owner's consent, then it was done in a violation of Registrar's agreement and must be investigated by Nominet.

It is Wyles Hardy & Co auctioning the name, so I think they sorted everything regarding renewal.

Currently at £750 + fees + VAT. I'm giving it a miss so good luck to anyone that does bid.
