    4 names - but I really wanted his names, so he probably got the better end of the deal!

    Yes, 4 geos. Not sure who got the better deal, but for me, the new domains have added substantial value to my portfolio imho

    Was Norwich one fo them Phil? Very nice name with a lot of development potential... infact all of your names have substantial development potential! A beautiful portfolio if you ask me and one that you are very wise to expand on IMO...

    Rich :cool:

    Hi, Phillip
    Nice Geos, i'm sure you both got a good deal out of this, just both have different uses.

    Are UK villages with a population of only 500 worth regging the .co.uk or a complete waste of time ?

    Thanks Phil.

    Some domainers collect geo domains of villages - although not for me...

    If I own smaller geos like Paignton.co.uk, it's because they have a particular niche - which in Paignton's case is tourism.

    Thanks Phil,
    I was advised to go for places with a minimum population of 50k or 10k if a popular tourist place.

    I won't waste my reg fees on pointless villages.

    Wish i had enough cash spare to buy Paignton off you, Maybe around April i could buy some Geos off you.
    Been putting money into other things at the moment and need some ROI now.

    Sounds like sensible advice.

    Taking offers on Paignton and some of my other geos in the 'for sale' threads if you get any serious money for Christmas ;)
