Not my Cup-of-tea, But thought it would go for about double that, 350-400. Somebody could build a humorous site around the wording, (how to say it - without saying it, sort of thing) - and i'm guessing it gets a few hundred type-ins a month

Indeed. I've sold for £x,xxx to end users domains that I put on domainlore, which didn't even get a £50 opening bid.

And the two domains - I mentioned sold in 'Still learning' thread' couldn't get £50 for.
Mind you a domain I sold for a good price (well I thought so 6 years ago) resold at over 15 x times that price a couple of years later. - my Brother Spotted a Mention of it in a non-domain Company release. - I wish he hadn't told me.
We all know domain selling Can be very much "pick-a-number"

I'm assuming I shouldn't really reveal who it was sold to right? (relatively new here, so not sure of the etiquette). Although as I write this, they've accepted the domains onto their TAG, so you can all see who they are based on TAG, not registrant info... which is still showing as me.
I was actually quite surprised when I caught this, didn't think I would, thought it would be like all the 3L drops, where everyone would be trying to pick it up, with billions of DAC requests a seconds vs me....
Not really something i'd personally know how to sell to an end-user. Could have built it out though, and its a "unique", at least memorable, part of the internet.
Can't hold onto everything, or build out everything.
Like @Bailey, I thought it would go for more, not the BIN (£999), but i'm happy to take my 800%+ ROI and move onto the next one.

Its just the game, I let a whole bunch of 4L CHIPS go for $500/pop and watched them rocket to $8000/pop, then come "crashing down" to the current avg price.
Every time we think we know something about the domain game, it all changes anyway.
Timing plays a big part with DL, that seems to be my experience anyway...
I bought it....no idea what to do with it, just put in the pile for another day
Was it a spur of the moment decision? I'm curious as I could not sell it before this. Be nice to get a buyers perspective in this case.

I thought you were being facetious
Buying domains you have no plans for doesn't seem like the best plan
Not saying that's what Dougs doing, just what your post made it sound like
We have a large portfolio that we have acquired over the years, some we have defined projects for but most we don't. Over the years the domain name makes us create a company, or we find a fit for a domain for a project we have, or we get a decent offer and sell, or we just sit on them wondering why we bought them

That sums up what we do too
