Well done. Which one did you sell?

Well done. Which one did you sell?

A second name

I've actually had enquiries on 3 second names so far with xxx offers, yet to seal the deal on other two yet, see what happens.

 

[Gav]

Where are you selling them?

Where are you selling them?

Landing pages from domainmanage.uk and whois

 

[TRUK]

Now the infamous DoGoddy a(u)ctions will start to see who can fart further

Edit: Semi-infamous DL auctions can also start to see who can pee further, too

To anyone that backordered with 123-reg, have you received your refunds yet? I spent £1k+ in 10 orders and they've only refunded me about £70 in separate (per domain) transactions!

 

[TRUK]

Probably because business is global, just like .com it's registered worldwide

Nope. Because the owner is a damn good catcher and programmer. Check realtime.at. I wish I could have used them too.

They've partly refunded, not fully

I paid via PayPal and my Debit card transactions has showed back up
My Credit card ones haven't but PayPal say refund is complete.

I am sure they will come, there was a few domains I had booked with them caught by one of their partners and moved over to them so I am sure they are working their way through as fast as poss.

I messaged them and was told it will happen, but might be another week or so. What a messy refund process!

malemodel.uk is available, seems like one to do something creative/funny with @iamrofe

My 123-reg refunds all seem to have been paid back, and appearing on my Paypal account, but not yet cleared.

Overall analysis of last week:

Target names: 40
Names acquired: 17
That was much more than I expected to get

As I am a customer not a catcher, I was reliant on others to catch the names for me.

123-reg: got me 2, but only one on my priority list
Dropped.uk got me one that I wanted
Total Registrations got me 5, and they were ones I really wanted
Dropcatcher got me 5, including some nice ones
The remaining 4 I picked off live through Crazy Domains

Total Registrations has always been a bit of a catching gem for me. They caught me some quality domains in previous releases so I went with them again. They caught over 50% of the names I requested. I think their non-auction, cheap process got overlooked by a lot of people, because even mid-week most of the good names were going begging and available for pre-reg.

I could have made a killing, but I only buy domains I actually want to use. They got me:
Christ.uk
Stuart.uk
Susannah.uk
Tudors.uk
Vocation.uk

Those names may not sound that exciting to you, but they were exactly what I wanted.

Same here, refunded only about £100 in separate transactions from a over a grand.

Stuart.uk

There will be a Stuart somewhere that will probably pay you a few hundred

I'm descended from the Stuart royal family, Murray, the rightful rulers of all you lot, so I'm not exactly going to sell stuart.uk (or stuarts.uk for that matter) for a few hundred quid! I might sell you a knighthood when the Hanoverians who usurped us finally get phased out.

We lost our castle after the '45. That doesn't go well with me. There has to be payback. A bit like waiting for 123-reg to refund pre-registrations. Personally I like her Majesty the Queen. But the Stuarts are still the rightful rulers.

 

[Lovekraft]

Yep have been refunded about two thirds of my 123-Reg preorders but still waiting on a chunk. Very odd system.

 

[SiusaidhSiusaidh is verified member.]

Once a 123-reg refund shows up on your Paypal, how long does it take to clear and actually be added back to your bank accounts? Anyone know? I have refund payments listed in Paypal, which they then pay back to the bank accounts, but I haven't seen anything come through in the banks.

Was that your chosen subject ?

Well, I am actually directly descended from Henry 6th, my grandpa was a Kirkpatrick of clan Kirkpatrick

It's pretty cool because someone has made a website for the Kirkpatrick clan where you can trace my family tree on my grandpas side back to someone born 1070
