Furniture & Purple Sales

[TallBloke]

In case you've not seen it, Namepros.com interviewed the buyer of furniture & purple (co.uk) domains.

I don't personally know the guy or his business but I would say one thing and that's a big respect for the guy. He knows his stuff when it comes to the true value of generic domains.

Great to see people investing in premium generic domains to use them, absolutely.

Interesting read, thanks for posting.

This guy has massive balls, but when you rationalise his spend on furniture.co.uk versus the size/value of the furniture market (his comments suggest £20bn per year), it looks like a shrewd purchase indeed.

I'm a massive fan of generic domains and think this is a good acquisition, bravo to the guy!

Some great stuff there, particularly about the.co.uk/.com click through differential.

They're not all as enlightening as the Furniture.co.uk one, but if you enjoyed that interview, I've compiled a list of other generic domain owners talking about their purchases and about what their domains mean to their businesses. (Mostly in .com)
