Fire sales lately

I'm surprised I haven't heard of him, even though he was way before I got involved with domains, I assume he's no loner active, as I don't recognise the name from any domains I've ever seen dropping.

Nice being able to pick names like property.co.uk up, a lot less competition back in those days, compared to now.

Here's his for sale list, It's been picked over a lot over the years, he's still got some decent stuff though:

@ Grant, thanks, still some nice names on that list, I'd better not look at it too much as I'm trying not to buy

@ Invincible, I hadn't bothered Googling him, but thanks for the tag details anyway.

Does he still own property-co-uk? That's a nice name.

but there are obviously still end users out there willing to splash money on them, and as long as there are they still have value.

This;

...a greater fool...

I've spent the last couple of weeks looking through all sorts of domain lists looking for a nice short domain, with a miserable budget as it is not for commercial use, just a vanity name really. I am a developer though, and have been for 11 years, so kept an eye out for anything interesting commercially. In the past I've happily paid good money (I'm not a big spender, but have often spent x,xxx) if I thought there was any sort of return possible. What I've seen over and over is thousands of emds that I wouldn't register if they were available, but they generally have price tags in the x,xxx range.
