boats.co.uk and colchesterfreeads.co.uk

Hi all, hese are my best and worst domain names.

I have been offered 65,000 ukp for the boats.co.uk domain name but I think it is worth a lot more than that with recent generic .co.uk domain name sales going through at between 150k to 500k region.
If you are interested in the boats.co.uk domain name then best to look up the whois contact details on Nominet.

Running a business on the Internet has got to beat running a conventional business.

I have just had the uneviable pleasure of witnessing how a conventional business collapses due to rising fuel costs, rental costs of equipment, lorries, cars, repairs, rental and taxes on business premises, new emission regulations making vehicles worthless overnight.
It seems that the prices paid for generic domain names are more than worth it!

Boats.co.uk is a blinder!

Are you (willing!) able to give the back story on how you ended up with that?

Cheers,
Rob.

My god. The potential for something like boats.co.uk is huge. I have friends who easily spend £20k+ each year on what can only be described as their boating addiction. You could probably quite easily retire off a domain like that. And I *absolutely* not one little bit jealous. Nope. Not *at all*...

I will give you my 4 bedroom beach house for that boats.co.uk domain

julian · 17-07-2008, 09:45 AM

its a great domain...

However I think people searching for boats don't don't use boats as a phrase.. its more a kids term searching for boat pics.

I think its one of those generics that still needs work.. the genre is too big... unlike loans which would be top of the pile for me

It's not bad. Give you £500 for it

Seconded!

I'd say this was certainly in the top 20 of UK domains.
