    I think the threshold has risen a bit recently, the last domain I had on there was HollywoodHotel which sold for £30. Everything I've submitted since has been rejected and it seems that the majority of the auctions are finishing above £100 now.

    I think its just for his customers now, as I submitted a name last night that had pre-bid by domainlore should of made auction, but was told not premium quality and it was him that listed it :D

    As i said, i think its just for his customers now ;)

    I got a bargain there today.

    I guess when you are building a business its best to be a bit snobbish concerning what you sell and who your customrs are, otherwise you just dilute your new business name.

    Your portfolio DB is very strong, you should have your own auction site.

    There is no way the domain I bought there today would ever be considered either, but hey i'm cool with that :)

    If I submit a name there, what fees will I incur if it's accepted? A percentage of the sale price?

    Domainlore works very well but you have to question who is making the call on whether a domain is appropriate quality. I've offered domains in the past couple of weeks which have been rejected for innappropriate quality which have then sold here for £xxx whilst Domainlore is listing bizzare 3 word combos.

    Product generics are surely better than these 1-in-a-million brandables?

    Just to add: You can bid for them, but unless they are caught by somene using the sister domain catching service, or submitted by the new owner, your bids might not be paid attention to. The .co.uk community is quite small though I suppose, so if the bids are high enough, that might filter through to the new owner.

    If you put serious bids in people like Gold Frog who use their own system catch and list, and I'm guessing many others if they have nothing better see the advance bids as easy pennies :)
