He bought it off us ages ago, was sold for a tidy flip. It hasn't changed hands since.

Less than recent statements?

Well, last post from me on it, it wasn't as reported.

Haven't they broken the NDA, by going to the press?

I basically meant I'm not disclosing it. Apologies for the confusion.

Twitter account was registered in May 2012 and tweeks only began in July 2015, so I suspect one of them was when they purchased.

It's a fabulous synergy for the buyer when you dig into his company's situation. Yes, it's going to take "a while" to see a positive ROI, but it throws rocket fuel on their credibility within their niche, and should help them seize an even bigger share of business.

(Also, it's a splendid result for the seller - I believe 99% of people reading this thread, mysely included, would have blinked and sold it much cheaper than the price that was ultimately attained)

Don't start the SEO crowd off about how prestige and easy recall have no value.

Did Rob Halliday-Stein buy it personally from Psychic Media perhaps? And has now sold it to his company for £600K... Pure conjecture as Nominet shows change in records in August, along with address verification then. Though the original press release does state he "bought it from a domain broker earlier this year". Perhaps he calls himself a domain broker.

You mean it's not gold.wales that springs to mind?


Dear Clogau,

Why not undo 25 years of branding by purchasing gold.wales?

Best regards,
