[kubafle]

Sorry guys, I know you were all after it, but we managed to bag pubes.uk today.

bag it, bin it

 

[TheWizard]

Managed these - with the odd couple of 'why did I register that's' and a bit of glamour added by Scunthorpe

spreadbet.uk
speakers.uk
nappies.uk
snowboarding.uk
php.uk
printer.uk
projector.uk
scunthorpe.uk
potent.uk
snookertable.uk
pregnancytest.uk

php and scunthorpe were on my list, congrats.

I wouldn't like to have some of these renewal bills though...

I'm up to £400 so for around 90 domains

tbh If I can't sell a little of what I've registered to cover that I deserve to lose the money

You got some crackers, you'll easily get your money back.

 

[PoshTiger]

I've registered around 50, and have covered all that with a £400 sale already..

I just found out from 123-Reg that they caught admire.uk for me on Monday. it only took them 3 days to email confirmation!

Where are you selling these on?
Any suggestions for a newbie on where and how to sell?

 

[PoshTiger]

dan.com - seems to work well..

Do you have landing pages on the domains? or an obvious way to contact you from your whois information?

If they're good, people should come to you

You can also try your luck on Domainlore.uk

A few good ones yeah, it's just justifying the rest lol nah I think 2/3 I'm happy with, maybe the rest are bit too speculative but we shall see

yep dan.com (who have just rebranded from undeveloped.com) has surpassed my expectations. Got a sale at bang on 2pm through them this afternoon which was funny timing.

Thanks. I'm sure you beat me to a fair few but damn if only WOOD had taken a holiday this week.

Such a domainer.

Set out with a short clear list of sports news urls that I wanted to acquire.

Ended up with sextherapy.uk.

Stone the actual crows...

I just found out from 123-Reg that they caught admire.uk for me on Monday. it only took them 3 days to email confirmation!

I got a couple of confirmations from 123 too I had an inkling I'd nabbed them because the TAGs were EVOHOSTING and MONSTER.

I also just had a confirmation from 123 saying they managed to pick up GasEngineer.uk for me, matches my earlier reg BoilerEngineer.uk.

Pleased i got these.

I would welcome your advice on this one.

I've recently launched Sportsweek.uk (also have the .co.uk and .com) and went for Newsweek.uk as a natural development of the content that I offer.

GoDaddy have captured the url and I've been invited into an auction for it. So far, so good.

I've just done a bit of due diligence on the name and have found that Newsweek.co.uk is actively forwarding to Newsweek.com. Yes, that one - with its 26 million unique visits in May...grrrr.

Clearly I have no wish to pass off as Newsweek, but I do like the name as a fit within my roadmap. If I was spending a tenner on it, I'd happily close the deal and crack on.

However, if I end up spending a few hundred pounds in a GD auction, and then find myself in the shadow of Trump's wig....I'm going to be pretty pissed off.

Is this likely to happen?

Do these guys forgo their brand rights in this market post the RoR period?

Can I expect to get what I spend at auction back should the wig come-a-calling?

Does the wag who forgot to register the domain at Newsweek keep his/her job?

Might this be my first headline story....

PRECISEMINDS also got nurses.uk, which was one of the ones I went after (being a nurse myself).

And they got opinion.uk as well. Looks like their scripts were running well today.

Still happy, because I got 7 out of my 11 targets.

Monday: 0/3
Tuesday: 3/10
Wednesday: 0/7
Thursday: 7/11
Friday: going for 6...

Dropcatcher has been best for me, with 4 catches out of my 10

 

[Reddy]

Only caught save.uk today.

 

[jonbyrne]

Only had ssb.uk on the list for today, had it with a few places but no-one got it for me.

Some decent names on this thread.

It's going to be interesting to see how the .UK marketplace changes now .UK is truly a seperate extension.
