Good names get bids it seems - rubbish names dont.

Same rules all day long.

“auction “ waste of time ”It’s for sale if we like the price” If you want to achieve a certain value etc set a reserve…? A few good names that may not actually be sold... to attract attention to the 197 crap ones.... so reminiscent of market cons with the offer of wonderful goods in a black bag... If only T,I,T sold domains....

Discover Leisure owned the domains - the liquidators are just shifting them.

Sweet names. Hoped to buy these before they went to auction - oh well!

Likewise!

It's probably going to be a waste of time, but it's in similar situations that I've noticed people scoop up bargains in the past i.e. when the liquidators either don't know or don't care about the full value of what they're selling off. After all, their job is often to produce cash quickly to a very tight schedule.

Reminds me a bit of how I was 24 hours away from being able to scoop up a major PR9 (real PR9 from massive number of diversified incoming links not "fake PR") site for just over US$10,000 a couple of years after the .com bubble burst. Had all the documentation straight, but came a bit late to that particular party and I couldn't get the wires sorted in time from Japan to the US over a weekend and it went to somebody "local" to the auctioneers!

the decent ones went for this

discover.co.uk
20,575 GBP
caravaninsurance.co.uk
9,575 GBP
caravans.com
30,075 GBP

surprised the .co.uk's went for this high tbh
caravans was worth considerably more but very few normal people have 30k knocking around bank account

I presume discover.co.uk can be turned into a good business selling caravan accessories/camping gear as it did before (i think), hence the premium (i guess)

was anyone from here a winning bidder on any of the names ?
