How much is that worth?

It all depends from the ego of the buyer.. There is no really a price for #1

We have a number of snooker fans here.. do you guys know how much Jimmy White paid for his car plate "CUE 1"?
 
Well its worth nothing to me as i coudlnt do anything with it :) but to someone else could be worth thousands.
 
Ha! But how much could it realistically be worth?

I did send this info to a couple Welsh business owners I know, they skipped this. I would price it at least 50k, where 100k is an ok sell price as well.

it is all about the "ego" in this case

.. imagine, if you sell as a pair together with the number plate "1 WALES" or "WALES 1" :) .. an ultimate ego boost.. you really need to have balls to claim to be the #1 in a region like Wales.. or, is it better to use the word "country"?

@BG how much would you list it for?

.. 1.xyz was reported to be sold for $182,971, though doesn't seem to be a real sale as it is still on an Afternic lander

There is a mention that in 2011 Nominet auctioned short .co.uk domains; 12 single-letter domains averaged ~£39,000

the story is also featured in Financial Times https://www.ft.com/content/8c996da4-eb8b-11e0-a576-00144feab49a .. though, strangly I am unable to find the Nominet press release on this.

Superb domain!! Can't believe it was available at an auction for such price.
