    £2k reseller, £3k-£5k end user would be my guess.

    Would estimate it to sell at towards the lower end of four figures (£1,000 - £3,000).

    Like anything though, it could be more if someone really wants it.

    Edit: Hadn't seen Scott's reply when I clicked submit, similar valuations. :)

    I think the valuations are accurate ~3k

    Names are funny ones but this is a solid name (plus prince, plus boy/girl [harriet] which add value)

    Most names that I've seen bought/sold have been around the 1k mark (which I think is pretty cheap, yet they keep selling for that price)

    You should be looking at xx,xxx to an end user. Fantastic branding domain.

    Yes you know, a name, logo, slogan, and/or design scheme associated with a product or service

    I'd say £1500 - £2500 reseller, and high £xxxx end user. You'd think popular first names would be worth more really, but I suppose it's more a prestige thing really, and it's often cheaper just to register your full name.

    So what are you going to brand as "Harry" and pay the OP £xx,xxx for the privilege?:p
     
  12. That's what I was getting at, doesn't seem like a brand able name to me at all....unless your company is called harry, then it could work.

    I realise, hence why my previous post wasn't in reply to yours. :cool: Anything is "brandable", actually, ("brandable" being one of the most ill-used words on Acorn Domains) if investment is made into building said brand.

    yep, I'd say mid x,xxx too

    however I'm sure to you or another Harry it's priceless

    so if a rich Harry comes along you're laughing :D

    best thing about the name is in recent years it's very popular, VERY popular
    like George!
    and we know that became one of biggest brands in country

    so keep your fingers crossed!

    I sometimes don't know where some of you members are coming from.
    A company pays thousands of pounds to put signage outside their premises and it's looked on as the natural thing to do, even though a limited number of eyes will ever see it. Yet when it comes to a brandable domain name which by the magic of the web can be seen and recalled by millions or even billions, some of you can't see the wood for the trees, now if you can't, then how can you educate the marketplace.

    I sold a firstname.co.uk for £10k via Sedo back in February.

    Harry is a far more popular name than the one I sold so no reason why it can't sell for the same price or higher.

    The thing with a first name is it can vary so much on the buyer... you may get someone wealthy who wants their name in .co.uk and you may get a business contact you as they want to use the name as a brand.

    However, as Harry is such a common name then you can be sure theres a lot more potential interest it, so I would say stick it out for high £x,xxx or v low £xx,xxx

    Don't want to split hairs here, but my daughter has reliably informed me that it could not be used for a girl's name - that would be harri.co.uk... nuff said!

    Don't mess with girls... :|
