In this case, I think its a very very good deal for the buyer. Too cheap in my opinion also.

Sorry for misreading the original post. That is because of imsomnia I have recently. What I tried to say is the price for the pair is very very cheap when you think the market of paintball. These 2 names are product names and they would sell quite higher than that of price.

Nothing personal just shocked that there are still oppurtinities out there for people. I also remember that I actually contacted for paintballs.co.uk to the ex-owner before but I remember I did not get a response.

No worries turnic. In fact the reason I initially bought the names was because I was involved with the paintball industry. Despite having the connections I never came across any end-user willnig to pay a 'good' price. I'd have liked a little more (don't we always) but a bird in the hand and all that. As I was the initial registrant of paintballguns I make that something like a 50,000% profit regardless of what the buyer might go on to make from it.

I think we should cut the guy some slack.

He posted them for sale in the forum, didn't get any decent offers so went via sedo.

If they we're so cheap then why no one buy em' here first time round?

5k's ok imo, considering the work to be done to make them work - their not going to 'magic' themselves to R1 in G overnight..

Agreed with Julian and was going to say earlier, these names (or very similar ones) were for sale here and didnt shift.

Always easy for people to appraise, another to fork out the £

Agreed, if these domains were so under priced why did noone buy them as part of this portfolio sale here for £5.5k:

30 domain portfolio inc paintballs.co.uk, ataris.co.uk and months.co.uk

Put your money where your mouth is

I really did not see them.

Add this options too

G) Prejudgement that "names for sale" on forums are generally crap and just did not give attention.

Well said Julian no-one bought them on here for the same reason no other half decent name is bought - Because domainers want to snatch them for nothing, or as near as damn it .

Good sale Jon, personally I would have held out for 10k but if youre happy then youve had a result and a the end of the day that is all that matters.

Congrats, Jim.
