schooluniform .co.uk

Had an offer for £1,500 + vat for this does that sound about right? or is it too low?

Thanks

Paul

If a little low but not by much , remember the value is also based on frequency or liklihood of offers

Bear in mind some schools require certain blazers that can cost (upto) a couple of hundred quid...so potentially lucrative thing to be in

I think there as a company featured on Working Lunch a while back that did mail order / internet school uniform stuff. I'd be tempted to try and market it to the likes of them.

However if you don't have time or need the money then I think £1.5k is "reasonable" but not brilliant.

Does it get much traffic?

 

[aqls]

worth more IMO

Thanks rob it's what I was thinking, not a bad offer would be worth much more IMHO if it had an 's' at the end.

Gets about 120 views a month

Given that schooluniforms.co.uk is done and dusted, has a particular site and ov w/ext of 12 it means that
a) there is demand online for this stuff
b) that they are not going to get that one.

Nearest available alternatives are:
school-uniforms.eu

or going to sedo for school-uniforms.co.uk (web ventures essex)
edit: also schooluniform.com could probably be bought.

I think yours is the better option of what is available for anyone in the business.

Added value is in affiliate market, tailors, departments of department stores etc.

Its a generic product description directly leading to purchase that I think make the best value domains.

I think it is worth more and if this buyer passes, then the next (london) bus will be along within a few years.

(so I kind of agree with Rob!)

Sounds like a sensible offer. Maybe it could be pushed up a bit, but you might have to wait a long time for the same offer.

 

[Edwin]

I would either take that offer or push it up a LOT. Not worth risking it for a few hundred pounds more, but for many times more it may be worth it.

 

[mibut]

If you are not desperate for £1500 remember that you can always work down so go way over,
example - thank you for your offer of £1500 for the domain name schooluniform.co.uk.
Earlier this year I had a final offer of £5,700 for this domain name which I turned down and the reasons I gave them are as follows -(give some of the reasons AQLS mentions in his post- and because of the reasons aforementioned I will only consider offers above £8000.
If you are able to negotiate closer to this figure then please feel welcome to contact me.
Kind regards

 

[olebean]

Its worth alot more that 1.5k

I'll spend easy over 700 on uniform this summer (not a fetish)

as edwin/aqls and mibut suggest milk it a but

its worth more that aegis and thats just had an offer of 4k (another thread)

 

[willbon]

Personally, I'd keep it and set up a protest site at the high prices you get charged for this stuff... then find a decent supplier, who'll do online sales...link and commission! Got to be worth more than £1.5K...

Good Luck

Will

 

[paul]

Thanks for all the replies, I think I'll keep it for a little longer.

Nice Domain. My advice would be just to take the offer. You could negotiate but it will probably just scare them off unless they're a big player. Most of the big players would just house the school unform section in their sites. A quick check on google shows there a few sites with similar names already operating. I spend a lot of time on the internet like all of us & my daughter starts school in september, but would not buy online for tis type of product. Nor would most parents. Kidsgrowso fast & need to try things on
I agree with the earlier comment that if you develop it, you could supply schools as a middleman. The .co.uk domain is one of the best here for this as uk tends to have more school uniforms than most countries. However I feel it is a fair offer. After all, athough not as good, picked up schooluniform.org.uk today for a fiver. Think of the percentage profit you will make & make the sale. I wish you luck. Cheers, Guy
Nb: should really be in appraisal bit!

 

[paul]

Thanks for all the input, still undecided though

Need to make a decision by the end of the week, any higher offers will be considered until then.

Cheers

I could be wrong, but if you push beyond their financial limits, they may have to consider alternative spellings ...

skooluniform (.com already gone)
skooluniforms
skoolstuff (.com already gone)

The .co.uk are still available for all 3 ... I didn't fancy jumping on your bandwagon
