that certainly wasn't a NameCheap - ironic really when it was going for 50k @ domain focus...

good luck.

It wasn't 50k at domainfocus. It was bid up to 105k but didn't hit reserve.

ahh yes - its phones/co.uk I was thinking of went up to 42k ish with reserve of 50k

my mistake.

mobile.co.uk and phones.co.uk had the same published reserve ranges (£50k-£200k), the actual reserves weren't published though. I'm guessing that phones.co.uk was the more expensive of the two, otherwise this sale would make no sense.

 

[julian]

yes, im utterly bemused why phones.co.uk won't go properly.

When we were in that auction I remember the Auctioneer was basically saying £50k is whats needed to go - to be prepared to go to 42 and no further seems strange especially in light of other domains going for six figures now. phones for around 50k seems a bargain.

mobiles.co.uk is already established, having mobile.co.uk now is like just having it for the sake of it - alomost a consolation prize.

I would think phones would be more than mobile/co.uk.

sport/co.uk was probably better than mobile/co.uk

Ooo, who bought fly? What where they wearing and how much did they pay?
</sarcasm>

 

[James]

actually I don't know who really did buy fly.co.uk. The (proxy?) bidding was done by Dougs though. Would be interesting to hear more about that deal, intended use for the domains etc.
