Yes, that is a rather nice buy for the money. I wonder what they'll be doing with it. Car site perhaps?

bargain, very nice name. I know you'd have bought that Paul having known the price.

so what's the problem? was everyone unaware of this auction?
or is it just like: "I know this name is selling and the price is XXX, but I'd rather wait to see how it develops... Bang! It sold for XXXX. What a steal. I'd pay XXXX+1.".
In theory.
From the prices premium domains are being sold for on DomainLore I can also attest that the recession has hit domainers pretty hard. Even the prolific re-sellers.
Speed.co.uk is certainly a 5 figures name to an end user.

Just to say althought it went for £3-£4k
It doesn't mean that any of us could have got it for that. Just depends how much the highest bidder would have gone for it, they could have gone up to £10k, we'll never know. But a cracking price for it.

Well we will as the new owner is a 'domainer' and he would have gone probably a grand more on top
I agree though with vizzy, lots of bargains about however there is a difference between pointing that out and being an 'aftertimer' style poster. For the record Paul aint one of them

So you were the ###hole who was driving the price on top of my GBP3301 bid.

I was going to drive this name up to GBP5000 but I have a life and I needed to meet with someone. So I quit the office. Otherwise, I could have gotten a damage which can not be reversed by monetary units

Which part do you not believe DB ?
Anyone with media accreditation can get a press pass for the show, since its pretty much Clarksons OWN event, he's pottering around, you get 5 minutes to talk to him and do some 'press shots', While doing this, maybe you could mention you have a great domain name, can you have a number for his people to talk about it ?
This is where you HOPE that he asks about the name, If he doesn't ask then you say yeah the domain name is Speed.co.uk and since you do a SPEED Arena, it would be a cool name, blah. Roll the dice, get proactive and try your luck! Worst case he says No, or gives you his peoples number and they say No.
Secondly, I hadn't just missed Goodwood, which is called the Festival of SPEED (are we seeing a theme here) Goodwood - Festival of Speed, I'd gone down in person and tried my luck with their organisers, they have goodwood, so why not have speed.co.uk for their marketing ? Now its gone, I'd still try my luck with them.
Maybe both will say No Thanks, but thats the punt we take isnt it ?

You always "just" miss out on a name
All i hear is talk talk talk...
Where is this partner of yours dying to hear from the expert himself
If a name is worth 5k for example you fire in bids for 2k knwoing that you are just tyre kicking.. then you say "damm just missed out" you were always miles away..
You have already got a bullshit fan club going behind the scenes - members pm me daily its very funny keep up the good work guys you know who you are :smile:

I don't know about everyone else, but I work within my available funds, this is why I am still buying and everyone else is selling because I've kept within my budgets.
As for low prices, of course I'm going to try and get a 5k name for 2k, I wouldnt want a 5k name for 7k would i ?. If i only have 3k in my funds and the seller wants 5k, what I am going to do, Sell a kidney to buy it ?
As for 2 faced people saying whatever behind closed doors, really bothered, wanna say something about me, grow a pair like you did, I respect you more for saying it to my face, as for others I'm telling my mummy

Skinner mate - there's *always* a "I was willing to go up to £x below the end sale value, damn!" on the for sale threads you reply to. And the ones you bid on you know you're not going to get for a £20 punt. Sorry it just looks bad imho
I'm not one of those that have pm'd DB btw.
