sadly money rules the world

sadly money rules the world and vows seem to come last..........I vowed I would never sell this name then i ran out of a stock pile of cash......good sales could allow me to expand instead of contract.

I have no evidence that any offer is related to 'hairy people' but if i do find that any of the offers are hairy I will offer a special deal..........razors.co.uk will be free to them

GHD term has 550,000 direct seaches per a month thats over 50% of the term HOLIDAYS.........If I could pick up holidays.co.uk for £600,000 I would be happy

How something virtually non-monetizable by you can be compared to the best domain in a travel industry?

GHD can't be worth 6 figures. The buyer should have moved on already leaving you with this acronym and all the possible interpretations one could imagine for it to be "developed".

Next year they will buy .ghd TLD and get everything they could ever want.

Personally couldn't agree more (providing they have the worldwide TM)

This may be true but you are highlighting 'potential' - they are already at the top of Google, and get the lions share of the natural traffic for the phrase anyway, accompanied by PPC campaign

A domain is worth what someone is willing to pay. Simples.

I thought a .ghd TLD would cost hundreds of thousands to create, and there's nothing to say they would get it if there is competition for it from ghd.com or another.

Even if they were successful in getting .ghd, would the .co.uk still be more widely accepted in the UK than the new TLD?

Did you really tell them to "get stuffed" or politely state that their offer falls too far short of what you'd accept? What am I missing here that would explain why you'd turn down at least a £200k offer (probably nearer quarter of a million with further negotiation) and so abruptly?

The Price

I have a price and had offers.........noone has offered my price.

Will I negotiate........No

I didnt say 'get stuffed' but an abrupt 'No' which may come accross as 'get stuffed'

Its very hard to buy a 1999 regd name off me.........some have tried, failed and won............i rarely re-offer names to people who muck me around

Good on you mate, they must know by now not to mess you about.

Although you would be fun to watch on "deal or no deal"

A quick thought from me. If it is the hair styler people, they have been really successful selling hair straighteners, and I wonder whether they will be able to maintain that momementum, because a lot of their potential customers now have hair straighteners, so what's the next big product going to be? I say this because my feeling is the hair people are going to be your best buyer, and therefore you need to watch how the company is getting along if you decide to sell. Just my thoughts.
