Agreed, but good search volume for now (14,800 exacts) and recently exchanged for more on this forum.

Just searched for the past sale, that has been a bit of a hit for the seller and sale was only a couple of months ago as well

I had hoped to get nearer to the price I paid but that's always the risk when you don't set a reserve.

It was a bit of an impusle buy because I own the plural but I didn't really need it!

Ben, hope you don't mind me asking but did you pay a £1k for it?

Yup :-/

Did strike me as abit like having vhs.co.uk

Do people buy DVD Players, or do the look for TVs with them or PS3's with them etc?

Quite an interesting sale really. I guess it reflects the short lifetime that a tech-related domain can have, and the fact that domainers have to keep a close eye on advancing consumer technologies. I do think it went quite cheaply, but I should imagine there aren't that may web developers out there willing to pour effort into a DVD player site at this stage of the game. "DVD Player" has been a term I seem to remember cropping up many a time over the years on this forum.

If I hadn't bought one from the nokta thread just before this finished I probably would have went up to £500 its good name in terms of exacts at the moment.
I was worried though about the life span of any site I could build so held back.
Out of interest did the site get any type in traffic at all whilst you had it Ben
