I would

1) get a site on there
2) get it ranking
3) then approach as many shoe shop chains & "e shoe shops" as you can

Very good advice. Wouldn't hurt sticking it on sedo either and if you do get any offers then happy days

I think you'd struggle to get more than £2000-2500 from a reseller just for the name. In theory it shouldn't be something incredibly difficult to make work as a site, so why not put some effort in on that side. That will both bring some money in, and will also get the name out there in terms of visibility and SE position, making a sale much more likely.

websaway, do you have examples of a couple of other xxxxshop.co.uk domains that sold around this price level that you could point me to?

Not without researching, but you get to know watching the market for years what something is worth with a willing buyer. WomensShoes co uk was apparently sold for £9900 on sedo in October 2009 so that's a safe pointer, though not necessarily needed as a pointer to evaluate ShoeShop co uk.

Yes, that was the only one I'd been able to find but there's a factor of 20 difference in search interest for "womens shoes" compared to "shoe shop". Obviously search is not the only criteria in valuations but I find it is a good indicator.

I couldn't find any comparative xxxxshop.co.uk domains that had sold at a decent price so wasn't sure if there was a sales list source I was missing.

I sold watchshop for mid £xxxx, personally I'd value shoeshop.co.uk at 5 figures.

I think when your valuating a domain to an end user you have to factor in a credibility & prestige value aswell. A bit like why someone pays high rents to have a particular office location.
I have Furniture-Shop.co.uk for sale on here at the moment.
