    A friend of mine just managed to catch this one.
    9,900 local uniques. Not sure how valuable .me.uks are so thought I'd ask the experts!

    .me.uk kills it but to and end user maybe £500

    Good luck convincing them about using a .me.uk

    Maybe do it yourself or at least monetise it, most people have sold their gold by now but there's still a good few out there who have been holding back.

    Re .me.uk, if the keyphrase is good, then can be occasionally be sold for a reasonable sum.

    .co.uk or NOTHING !

    ASK yourself the question

    Why would anyone buy any other name in the UK to trade with other than
    .co.uk

    Its a little bit like property, people start with the location and most business in uk want .co.uk and the rest want .com

    Think about what the person who is buying the domain wants. Investors certainly wont be buying it and thats why theres loads of those extensions on here for sale.

    .. And when all the mansions and detached houses are gone or out of financial reach, the humble man must buy a house that fits his budget.

    .me.uk are not the 'best' .uk extension, but the value of .me.uk's will increase as time passes. Also, .me.uk's do have a unique quality with certain phrases... marry.co.uk doesn't look as good as marry.me.uk!

    cashforgold may be a little behind in the 'peak' of interest in gold... but maybe not... we shall see.

    I'd not be quite as optomisitic as Doodlebug in terms of current market price, but I think it could fetch £200 - £300 to the right buyer.

    Good luck!.. and don't be put off by the dinosaurs who reckon the .me.uk extension is flawed... it's not.

    There are always going to be some exceptions to that. Like Monopoly, if you only have Old Kent Road, but you put some decent property on it, you can still have a winner!
