Free.co.uk SOLD $205,000 by DomainBooth.com

If someone wants a domain they buy it, we can pontificate till the cows come home. There is so much money sloshing around that nothing should shock.

Nice sale. Not overpriced. That has "TV ad potential" written all over it.

I’m not the buyer...

I did notice though that at least one of the .uk domains I did buy (film.uk for £7800) doesn’t appear on the top 10 list.

It's listed at £6,800 from its domainlore sale:

https://domainlore.uk/film.uk

Did you buy it subsequently for £7,800?

Ah, £6800? I think I was just remembering it wrong.

I'm guessing FREE.CO.UK is now 'Rayhan Rafiq-Omar' new brainchild after he left the previous company he founded 'Unmortgage' summer last year...

I saw that but we don't know how the service will work.

Maybe the service will be 'FREE' in terms of the not having to pay any commission on the sale of a property, yet having to pay to list your property on their network e.g. £149.00 which includes Rightmove listing and three viewings whereby an agent shows potential buyers around your house etc. I have a feeling he wants a piece of the purple bricks pie..

I still can't fathom someone actually paid $205k for this domain - could have got it a lot cheaper by negotiating. Let's be honest, 99% owners would have sold for $100k, if not less. Also, let's not forget, he didn't even want the .uk - mind boggling!

The skeptic inside suggest some sort of PR ploy going on - otherwise it's utter madness

I think Chris paid a silly amount for money.co.uk .......brands are brands are brands. Free.co.uk has brand written all over it.

 

[Don]

that's a high price to pay, but agreed the branding opportunities are unquestionable!

Has anyone considered that the seller may not have even offered the .uk and the buyer didn't think to ask?

Thumps up for this. icelolly.uk is on domainlore right now and IceLolly.com and .co.uk are held by the holiday firm IceLolly Marketing Ltd. It's mental how people are letting a shorter version of their name go.

Pay 200k for a domain, going to get some traffic because of the sale price and it has some shocking website on it.

Putting a poor landing site up does more damage than good. Better to have one of those COMING SOON pop your email in...

re: icelolly.uk < i can only see an influx of DRS cases down the line, same MO each time, bad faith etc,

Could of got a nice looking lander off a template site for £50 and collect emails via it as you've said. If the site continues to look like that once they launch they've wasted serious money on that domain name.
