Love the less that clear advertising at mobiles.co.uk:

deliajen · 05-03-2010, 03:49:51 PM

i would say �65k

newguy · 05-03-2010, 04:40:34 PM

�75k+ .....

Because it's been dropped into a Sedo auction seemingly at random (offer sent to auction, I am guessing) I will say no higher than 100k.

Dunno but if i was the Seller i would also be contacting some Companies to make sure they know its at auction.

At that price I'd be bidding myself if I wasn't boycotting Sedo. Damn these principles!

Yeah, I knew that... I sold it to them.

I can't see this. For me phones.co.uk and mobiles.co.uk work as brands but mobilephones.co.uk just doesn't.

Agreed, it's an auction so all the valuations in the world mean nothing, on the day it's whether more than one person wants it badly enough. You only need to look at phones.co.uk going for under �50k at auction and for me that's a better domain.

how could it not?

A sticking point for any serious buyer might be that the seller also owns mobilephones.com.

Big corporations generally make sure that dilution of this type can't occur before signing a cheque but maybe having an auction gets round this problem.

You'd be mighty peeved buying the .co.uk one day and then seeing your competitor buying the .com the next.

I notice the local search term became very popular last October around about the same time as a nominet update.
