why don't traditional uk auction houses se'll domain names?

and or uk pawn brokers lend or liquidate domain names?
 
.co.uk/.uk are harder to borrow against due to the market being illiquid.

Please explain your reasons for this statement
 
We lend money against domain names & websites (oxygen dot uk) but the quality has to be there. .co.uk/.uk are harder to borrow against due to the market being illiquid.

Other places that lend money are domain capital

i tried your company recently but apparently my portfolio has no value

Warning sign:



Ignore estibot, or any other automated valuation tool.

Be honestly objective:

Some of them sound OK when you read them out loud, but people that aren't domainers won't trust it.
If money was no object, you didn't own them already, and you saw any of these for sale for more than registration fee, which ones would you honestly buy?

Realistically, from your list, you need to ignore any domains that aren't .com. They're just not desirable or marketable (for the most part).
That leaves us with:
  • LilacGoat.com
  • GroceryTakeaway.com
  • GroceryDriveThru.com
  • PrivacyBarrister.com
  • PrivacySolicitor.com
  • PrivacySolicitors.com
  • SexismSolicitor.com
  • SexismSolicitors.com
  • VlogLawyer.com
The legal related domains are far too niche. Excluding VlogLawyer. I have no idea what that would consist of.
The grocery domains are too long, when a brandable is probably more desirable.

Which leaves us with LilacGoat, which can be nothing other than a brandable that you might get lucky with one day.

I personally don't rate any of them.
no probs its good to get another perspective cheers for your insight
 
Unfortunately we don't lend against these extensions. They are too volatile (low cost initial renewals that rise dramatically) and do not have a proven track record.

As @seemly mentions above the .com quality is not high enough.
that's ok thanks for the advice
 
It is very difficult to sell a .co.uk/.uk domain quickly for a reasonable price. Even super prime domains don't move quickly so it is not a very liquid market. If you look at flip.uk or domainlore not many domains sell for above £xxx.
I used to buy two keyword .co.uk and .uk domains a few years ago when you could buy a .co.uk for 2 years for £5 e.g.
I used to own
givefood. co.uk and givefood. uk and had a concept for them and owned them for about 3 years or so and let them expire as I started to buy new gtlds etc but couldn't be happier that the current owner of the give food. uk uses it as a redirect in to the org. uk which is a food bank site etc but that is why I buy my domains e.g. I have a concept tech idea and buy the domain of the idea and the domain purchase gives the date I had the idea etc which is why I bought
homeless. events
And
poverty. watch
As I have concepts for both domains as I do with my
freecarparks. com
etc as I am an ideas guy
 
can you guess which 4 domains gets the most parking visits from my domains in the above list

eg from my entire domain name portfolio (the above list in my post in this thread is just a sample of the domains in my portfolio 1st)
but the domains that get the most parking visits of all my domains are in the above list but 4 of the domains are in that list

domains that get the most parking visits are?

1 ?
