    Just got the email about the new Great Domains Auction.

    As well as starting an auction on probably the quietest week of the year in the UK - only 3 working days in the next 12 - they also have couple of real primes ones . Busses.co.uk (what are they?) and crabs.co.uk. I despair.

    Bid on these exclusive domains and more:

    • melody.co.uk
    • busses.co.uk
    • snookerhall.co.uk
    • crabs.co.uk
    • testimonial.co.uk

    LOL!

    I may have a bid on melody.co.uk or testimonial.co.uk, but on the 'busses', no!

    Hey, I'm liking them - I'm thinking Busses.co.uk would go with my Pllanes.co.uk, Trainns.co.uk and Coachhes.co.uk :)

    Was about to say the same.

    It hasn't shifted at that price, so it's pretty unlikely anyone is going to snap it up now with a reserve of between £5k - £10k.

    Bargain :neutral:

    To Buss someone is to do something like give them a kiss on the cheek, or a hug, etc.

    To be fair, they also have:

    BallroomDancing.co.uk
    Thrillers.co.uk
    Planners.co.uk &
    Cantonese.co.uk

    In the same auction - not superstar names, but they're not bad.

    Haha love it.

    The Seafood Company should buy Crabs.co.uk as I imagine it will sell cheap (Cromer Crabs are quite well known).

    They probably won't ever know it's for sale though as it would appear Sedo don't publicise auctions to end users enough, if at all.

    I know just the girl for you ;)

    You remind me of living in London in the 70s - most were unfortunate to be walking around with our own Crabfarm at sometime or another - Still it made for entertaining watching when there was nothing else on the Tele.

    Is there a Sedo link for final sales prices. Looking at domainlore, looks like only one sold for 4 figures - planners.co.uk. Most didn't sell and all others mid XXX at best. Not sure if it is dollars or pounds!
