Just picked these, any thoughts on its value.

Short 4 letters, pronounceable, this has the potential to be a brand.

I'm guessing you don't have the .com, as that would really help.

Overall, strong prospects. Could take time to sell, but if you get offers then prospects are good.

Thanks for the feedback, and No i dont have the .com unfortunately.
I did notice the .eu version is a brand which has a number of re-sellers around the EU but nothing in the UK so that may be something in the future.

I had a quick search and the term tulp seems to be popular with the Dutch for some reason.

What is tulp?

Unless I'm missing something, no value

Don't see any value unfortunately. There are lots of short, pronounceable FTR .uk domains, I don't think this is one of the better ones.

I've just realised it's Dutch for tulip.

The original website back in 1999 was for Trade Union for the Labour Party.

Someone had a sedo sales page on it for the past two years, I guess no buyers so they dropped it

Exporting flowers from Holland to the UK is big business so you could potentially target flower exporters..

Why would they want tulp in co.uk?

The domain isn't worth anything, you could register 1000 domains like it and never get a sale, it's far too speculative to be worth worrying about

You can try and imagine some value for it like is being done here, but again as above, you could do that with 1000 other FTR domains

The brand tulp.eu has a reseller in the UK under http://tulipalo.co.uk/tulp-fireplaces/ so maybe one potential buyer.

Completely wasting your money on these kind of registrations unfortunately, tulp has no UK meaning, so why would anyone be interested. Remember the UK market doesn't in the slightly mirror the COM market. Also bear in mind that you have seasoned professionals in this industry, ask yourself why a domain is not registered before buying any domains, unless you have a clear objective (and not just registering and then asking what it could be used for).

Hi Ian, Thanks for the feedback.
