    That's a bit cheeky Mr H, I offer £6.85 :mrgreen:

    On a serious note I would say reseller = £800 and end user = 4k to 6k (manufacturer)

    I think this is prob a low-mid xxx reseller value. Just because I think the plural is suited better for a site.

    It has a nice search volume, and could be used for corperate branding .

    My offer still stands :eek:

    Very nice domain. On acorn you would probably get low four figures. I'd expect it to go a bit higher than doodlebug's estimate for an end user.

    All the google adverts appearing on the thread appear to be suggesting that umbrella company is the way forward

    Thanks for all the input and offers. I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline anything less than a tenner.

    Looks like if/when I get round to selling it, it'll be a good idea to approach manufacturers and umbrella companies.

    As far as I know, umbrella companies are used by contractors who don't want to run their own limited company.

    In return for a percentage of their rate, the umbrella company acts as the contractor's employer (takes care of paperwork, taxes, etc.) and the contractor's client pays their invoices to the umbrella company.

    I don't think many people do, I only know about it as I considered using one a few years back.

    For me it’s a product that’s more spur of the moment purchase (throw away) and the plural would seam better? And that’s for sale and not developed ?

    high £xxx reseller low £XXXX enduser?

    According to your website you’ve been running it as a business for a number of years so should know if the product works online? So are you actually looking to sell or just a bit of self promoting?

    Not trying to promote shop. The shop works and the product sells but the site is effectively dormant - I've marked all products as out of stock for a few months now. I'm spending my time on other projects that I'm more passionate about, hence the research here to see how much it might be worth.

    Try selling it to the UK company Giant. They administer umbrella companies for contractors in the UK. There is a heck of alot of money in this area.
