Wanted: Domain Appraisal Coverz.co.uk

Marcoose · Sep 14, 2012

First thing that springs to mind is a really funky name for a mobile phone and tablet cover shop. Am going to be pitching it out over the next few days - just not sure how much to expect.....

There were some yanks that tried something similar many moons ago I think they had the com and Trademark but belive its abandoned now? The sort of investment goes for someone with deeper pockets although they'd be hard to find now and its sort of making it a brand especially the way g etc autospell etc if you get bite try xxxx but don’t be surprised if you don't.

Its a real Marmite name, some will hate it but you only need 1 to like it and you could be onto a winner

I'm never much of a fan of these types of domains. You could swap the 's' for a 'z' on any given plural and hope it sounds brandable. There is a small chance someone might like it and buy it i suppose. Just my opinion.

I disagree. Some words just look cool with a z on the end.

That is true, i just don't think that even if it happens to be a word that looks cool with a 'z' that it would be all that easy to find an end user who agrees it looks cool and would be keen to use it as a name and pay good money for it in the .co.uk space.

I'm sure similar domains will have sold in the past, but i reckon a lot will have been allowed to drop.

I would love to be proven wrong though and for you to make a nice flip. Also I'm not saying it's rubbish, because it's not, it's just not a side of branding that floats my boat personally or one that i would try to push.
