Well, if you've had two impressive offers in the £XXXX region both are obviously seriously interested in buying the names.
Why not send them to auction so that the two interest parties can bid against each other so that you can realise the best price for them?
So here is the info that has been sent to me from an adviser that i know..
1) Mobiles.co.uk was sold to The Carphone Warehouse as a very successful company.. not sure how much it was.. (no reports..)
-----------------
2) The following states that Mobile.co.uk sold for £120,000:

-----------------
3) The Acorn thread below states that MobilePhones.co.uk went up at auction among some potential & alleged confusion etc.. £91,500 was the stated final amount.. Triggered by an initial bid of £25k..
In which someone also stated:
"It's interesting, as about four years ago he wanted £250k for it. Although I hope it reaches a good price, I don't believe it will sell for more than £35k in the current climate."

-----------------
4) It was also stated that:
"Finished at £91500, Interesting point about the .com version, perhaps they would have been better off selling the pair to an established mobile phone retailer but I guess they tried that first ?"

So final bid was by a possible company called 'ANY-Web' ?

5) Phones.co.uk sold for £175,000? to a company called: a1comms
Also recorded at the following link on acorn:

-----------------
Not sure on: MobilePhone.co.uk or Phone.co.uk sale amounts, if ever?
Now with these guides in place.. These offers that i have received for Phablet.co.uk & Phablets.co.uk (both with .UK reg rights) may well be from re-sellers/speculators in the hope that these may have a future potential on them..
Whatever their plans would be for the domains the offers are helpful indicators.. also noted that selling as a pair or group would increase the overall sale value etc.. as someone would rather have them all and not just one with other competitors about as stated..
Regardless of the resellers/end-users usage or hopes - if the right offer/s came along for the 4 domains or for a single one, it may well be considered..
I am not looking at selling these at all but our estate agency portals & domains may well be available for takeover, so that we can then work on opening a physical high street outlet..
Now before a vast amount of criticism gets posted i am aware that these are all 'Premium' domains and that the current sales market isn't as 'hyped' or 'thriving' as it once was/sometimes is.. but that still doesn't change speculation or potential felt by people submitting offers in their need/desire for a domain/s..
This is just a general discussion really..
In addition user: 'James' stated on his £175k sale via the Acorn thread that they "used solicitors acting as stakeholders." So thanks for that i'll most likely be undertaking the same in the coming sale..
In addition it is amazing seeing that he stated "I bought it about 8 months ago for £49500." sort of mimics the offers/buyers that i have had come forward as possibly being re-sellers too.. trying to buy now while the market it a little cooled off in regards to future resale.
Also 'James' stated that "The domain was purchased purely on its generic brand value. The buyer was not concerned about traffic at all, although it did receive around 60 uniques daily." which is also very interesting..
In addition this statement is to try to explain why we may have received a number of high value offers for these property lettings domains?
