Landrush phase for .uk short domains now open

hy.co.uk went for £2.1k (not to me)

Would have bid higher for it but decided to save my wallet for later auctions ;)
 
DNJournal is going to be flooded with .co.uk's when all these auctions finish.

Nice buys Garth. 8)

Technically there not sales at all, rather they're winning bids in a one off process, I wouldn't think they apply in the true 'sales' sense of the word.
 
£55,000 for g.co.uk (and still rising) - madness. I can see that Google could want it, but who needs it enough to be the counter bidder?

I really would like to see what's in store for some domains, many will be held but surely some will be developed.
 
2 letter .co.uk sales

Technically there not sales at all, rather they're winning bids in a one off process, I wouldn't think they apply in the true 'sales' sense of the word.

DNJournal normally report these sales, just as they did when various letters like " e.co " were being brokered via sedo etc.

Will be nice to get some good publicity surrounding the UK market, it all helps :)

Using bidding loophole, looks as though g.co.uk has gone - is this correct or have they fixed the sneaky-peek-mechanism.

I did feel a little bit 'wrong' doing this, think I will drop them an email alerting them to it.

Whilst I think the auction prices should be public. They have chosen not to make them so at this stage and we should respect that.
 
I am now out of fp.co.uk at £3k - so good luck to whoever wins the name :)

Decided to use the £3k on a holiday for my family - far more satisfying than being able to tell people my email is [email protected] ;)
