Drop Catch

[Opsuk]

I operate OPS Domains under the brand and website sympli.uk. Check it out. These are mostly drop caught domains. Note all domains have an image to make them look more appealing (not sure if it does or not, I welcome feedback).

I have missed a few recently, mostly by a few milliseconds. gb.uk was one I was particularly keen on. I missed it by 0.006 seconds (0.6 of a millisecond). Very close.

Any thoughts of using SEDO to sell? They dont seem to have many UK names. DomainLore has lots but the majority go unsold. My issue is that many of my names are potentially very valuable. ops.co.uk, for example should get in excess of £8,000 and ChatGPT even suggested maybe as much as £30k to the right buyer. With DominLore I would want to put a reserve of say £7,000 but this would cost be £700 and be non refundable. Not a very attractive prospect.

Any suggestions on a value? Also a number of 2 letter ones (8r.co.uk, 1l.org.uk, 1m.org.uk and others). Even a single character one 2.me.uk. I have a few me.uk ones although these seem to have little interest. They can only be bought by private individuals but they can be used for anything, including commercial operations. Any suggestions on value?

You operate ops.uk but are interested in selling ops.co.uk? Wouldn't the .co.uk domain be useful for your business? Do you intend to continue trading with ops.uk after selling ops.co.uk? I'm just curious as this seems odd to me, I'm not looking to buy.

 

[Opsuk]

I registered ops.co.uk around 1996. I then got ops.uk when it became available. In 2016 ish. I started my current business, online property Ststems in 2019. I decided not to use it as it us a valuable name and Ted money raise would be useful for the business. Currently it us up for grabs on domainlore.co.uk for £15k as a showcase for a month (fixed price). I had hoped to get more but that would be fine.

At the end of the day, I doubt I will get £15k worth of extra business by having a good domain.
