TMHCC.co.uk sold for £10K

[TallBloke]

TMHCC.co.uk sold for £10,000 (TMHCC.com & .de also sold) at Sedo.

Registered (or caught I suppose) only last year. The .uk currently registered to someone in China (also reg'd last year).

Probably registered when the .com sale was announced, last year.

Why is this domain sale not found in Sedo's RSS feed?[/USER]

Are you sure? It is listed here.

So TMHCC.com sold for $65,000 in March last year and $12,500 this month - someone taken a hit?

Er...no.

The .com sold for 65k last year. The next day lots of cctld's are registered on spec. Bingo, a year later the dot com owner picks up the cctld's too for $$$$.

It was the .co.uk that sold for $12,543 (£10k??) this month.

Gotta love the domain game

And domainers get a bad reputation... I wonder why!

The Sedo feed I am using:
https://sedo.com/rss/rss_list.php?rss_id=17

The most recent .uk domain in that feed is caps.co.uk, which sold in March 2017.

There are half a dozen more-recent sales listed here.

Maybe there is an alternative feed?

EDIT:

Just looked at https://sedo.com/rss/rss_list.php?rss_id=17 and it includes some very new sales, such as...

<![CDATA[ knees.co.uk<br /> Price: 4,000 GBP ]]>

but the dates differ from the namebio.com sale dates, so I assume they are using an alternative source??

Yes pretty obvious case of registering something with only one buyer in mind

Reminds me of Triangl.co.uk

 

[gimpydog]

I wonder if certain domain news outlets are being given an alternative feed or CSV dump?
I think that either namebios add entries manually to their DB from updates released via DnJournal OR they get given the same feed as DnJournal.

Yes, probably. The most recent sedo sale at dnpric.es is caps.co.uk too. http://dnpric.es/recent/?cctld=uk

And if apple.uk dropped tomorrow, you wouldn't bother catching it because you don't know any fruiterers?

This reply gave me a headache

I can't even understand how..

Never mind

See this archive post on DNJournal - TMHCC.com has reportedly been sold for $12,500. All seems bit fishy to me.

 

[TallBloke]

Why fishy?

That tmhcc.com was apparently sold twice within a year and this April for approx $50,000 less than last year. I've not looked in detail, so maybe it's all fine.

I think it's just a cock-up by Ron Jackson. Wouldn't be the first.

That was also the week the .co.uk sale was reported at £10k / $12,500

I think many of these historic sales sites like Namebio are just grabbing RJ's pages and parsing the info out. Dead easy with e.g. wget/curl and grep/awk. As for a reliable, up-to-date Sedo feed; it's probably an oxymoron.

It's a legit sale.
Some other recent ones the insurance company HCC has been acquiring include: TMHCC.eu $10,000, TMHCC.it €5,000, TMHCC.fr €6,999 and TMHCC.de €8,000
