OK, last one for today.

I have a .org.uk name registered - about 2 years old, and nothing done with it. It is in the specialist footware segment. I did have thoughts on developing a site for this, but never did - and am now looking to sell

The .com is a US based company, the .co.uk is an active UK business. There is no connection between these two organisations

What would recommended actions be:

a) offer this to the UK based business on exclusive basis for a short period of time ?

b) just offer it for sale in the open market ???

c) do something else ???

I have no experiene of developing a site, and recognise this as a major weakness in my business plan if I am to make anything of this 'domaining' lark.
In coming weeks I need to learn Wordpress and at least give something a try.

I also have a limited start-up budget (mid £xxx), and recognise the need to clear out a few old names before getting too deep, and to balance the books for future opportunities.

Thanks in advance

Regards

John
