Sedo Sale: positive.co.uk 10,000 GBP

Capped by Sedo's £10K appraisal limit system?

Possibly. A limit I wasn't aware of years ago when I was bidding for a domain that eventually went for an achievable £18k :(

When I last used Sedo (years ago) you could pay them to appraise the domain.

If they deemed it worthy of more (US$/EUR/GBP 10,000+), you could price it accordingly.

A measure to stop crap being listed for millions plus another revenue stream for them.
 
It was my domain.

Discussions with the buyer took an elapsed 6 months (approx) from their initial, much lower offer earlier this year. I'd no clue who the buyer was; turns out the domain is an obvious fit for their company.

Whole process has taught me to be patient. It took about a year from my first speculative enquiry to actually acquire the name from previous registrant. They weren't interested in selling it; I enquired again months later but we couldn't agree on a price, then they came back to me. Thanks to Frank too for his second opinion just before I bought it.

So it's taken me a year and a bit to sell it.

You're welcome John - I have been itching to post that it was an Acorn member who made the sale, but it wasn't my place to say it. Excellent sale all round :)
 
I'm certainly not trying to look at it from the sellers perspective because the decision to sell for an amount is entirely a personal one. Introducing that into the thread strays from my point that I feel that this domain name is worth substantially more than £10k. :) (from iPad - K)

For once, I agree with invincible. It's a nice amount to have before Xmas but the price is more of a trade price than an end user price.

It's one of the best domains in the .uk space IMO.
 
I would have thought 10k is quite high for a domain like this, good as a brand though.
