I would'nt recommend posting any available name on a forum.

No doubt some fiend would snap it up. At the end of the say £6.00 odd for two years is'nt exactly a huge risk!

If it fits the ext then I would say its worthwhile, ie the charity organ type thing ie I have

helping.org.uk
counselling.org.uk
pollution.org.uk

They get a little traffic but dont expect to sell one

org.uk

The poor mans co.uk

The only way org.uk's can go is up. If you have generics they are great for seo. Google luvs org.uk's

bats
diabetes
nutrition
epilepsy

Don't expect much traffic until you seo.

I think sales will be forthcoming in org.uk generics in the not too distant future as long as you have done your homework, seo'd and are getting traffic/revenue.

Any name that gets traffic and revenue is worth money.
