    good sales :) - probably about right for the names on their own.

    You should have developed them, wouldn’t have been too hard to put up some affiliate links. Can see why you sold considering the other developments you have ;-)

    Hopefully I can flip my two casino sites in the future - OnlineCasinos.co.uk / CasinosOnline.co.uk

    Yes, as I've mentioned before, motivation to sell was very high. I have a lot of experience in the online gambling industry, and I set up (and still run) some quite well-known UK sites in this vertical.

    As undeveloped domain names, I think the price was pretty good, however Kass seems to (sort of) understand how valuable the online gaming market can be. Knowing the buyer, I am sure they will be able to monetise them at £xx,xxx per month in a relatively short space of time without too much trouble. That is fine by me.

    Julian, I'd agree with you that "online casino" is the more obvious commercial term and will probably turn out to be the first to see ROI. "horse racing" is less obvious, and could be an information term, but it is still highly commercial from what I know.

    There was so much more to consider here than the sales price alone. I apply some highly abstract and (some might say) overly theoretical criteria to the decision making process. If I was to explain the way I evaluate these things metaphysically, there's a good chance you'd think I was utterly mad.

    For me, ultimately this deal was about freeing restrictions just as much as it was about £200k for two domain names.

    A small ltd company (TO < £5.6MM) only has to provide abbreviated accounts, which is basically an abbreviated balance sheet, not a p&l. An abbreviated balance sheet tells you naff all.
