The real value of the .uk RoR drops

[daxio]

I am dubious about some of the names being snapped up. Anyone care to hasard à guess at which ones so far they estimate to be the most valuable, and how much?

The ll.uk would all be nice to have, I liked audio.uk.

wql.uk is worth less than 50 pounds seeing as it didn’t sell on DomainLore last month. Bad lll I know, but the .com equivalent would still be $5-10k or more.

lol... yep wql.uk still available.

audio was the one i really wanted. Some great three letters out there also. joy, gig ...

 

[dee]

Gig is a great one, I had that on my own list and joy, no chance though lol

yep. I wanted both badly. I work in music so an area im interested in.

Not to be rude but on the whole people have registered a load of rubbish from what's been posted (I've registered a few duds I should delete too)

As for the best and values, should be obvious and should be into the £xx,xxx

How high into the xx,xxx idk, thankfully I haven't caught the biggest to have to worry about pricing them

.uk market is not great dont expect to get what a couk would sell for only top tier names will fetch good money even lll.uk won’t be worth much i hold thousands of uk domains and only sell a few .uk no one wants them !

Same here - Out of interest are you active trying to sell them or sit and wait ?

Lol. I took that off my list at ~13:55 this afternoon.

I hold alot of uk domains and sell lots but co.uk is what people want .UK they don't want only co.uk

Buyers come to me

 

[Gav]

Might that not be down to them not being aware of the .uk domains or that there haven't been that many decent .uk domains available until now?

 

[jonbyrne]

I still think it is a knowledge issue, the layman's default is still .co.uk but I think from a user perspective they are much more used to none .co.uk or .com domains now that unless your giving info out verbally then I cannot see any real issues.

For small personal projects I always default to just the .UK now.

As for the best and values, should be obvious and should be into the £xx,xxx

The only 5-figure .uk domain I've seen would be z.uk, with a single potential buyer who might want a branded url shortener.

In my opinion, most of the rest of the names caught will do well to get past £xxx. A few of the very best will creep into low £x,xxx.

wrong we own many quality domains in .UK and have done since the launch and do we get leads no i dont see any uptake in .UK people still prefer co.uk

Few would want to pay meaningful amounts without the co.uk - it’s too early to see how this will evolve - a separate space or poor cousin

Its more like a mixed mess thats why nominet have employed a fleet of DRS staff to take on all the DRS

This is without looking through the lists again, just off the top of my head estimates

10-20 potentially £xx,xxx

500 domains going into £x,xxx

Maybe 5000 into £xxx

Had a lot that were already backordered in the 4 figure range.

 

[Sam]

I will buy your UK's off you - seeing as you think they are worthless

Well you just keep buying them I'm sure ill see lots dropping next year

 

[RobM]

I hope so - will be great for backorders

 

[Sam]
