Highest Price .co.uk?

[maverick]

What's the most you know a .co.uk has gone for? I understand that Sainsburys bought www.taste.co.uk for £110k, and Hutchison bought www.three.co.uk for £102k.

Can anyone beat that?

I think the Lloyds bank purchase of insurance.co.uk is the highest reported sale. If I remember correctly they purchased a small set of domains including insurance.co.uk (I don't think the rest of the domains were anything special) for £1m.

That's the figure I seem to remember.

If I had that sort of money I think I would have paid it too. They don't come much better than that

always hard to know as most high level .co.uk sales never get reported.. lots Non Disclosure agreements flying about

Yes but domains like mint, orange, three etc only really becoming massively valuable because of the huge sums the companies that buy them spend on advertising them? So the domainer shouldn't feel too hard done to?

I heard it was the opposite, from the seller, and he was pretty peeved when he found out RBS had used a middleman to buy it on their behalf. I remember it being registered, then being transferred to an individual and then onto RBS. This was back when RBS branded some of their cards as RBS Advanta.

I had heard similar - I am sure the price from the middleman to the end user had a decent kickback

Most decent price sales are NDA'ed or kept quiet - even lower level deals seem to go on behind the scenes.

I still get info direct from Sedo on their UK sales, if anyone else has anything I can publish, please let me know...it's valuable information for everyone.

 

[deconstruction]

even info from sedo is limited, some (if not most) big sales on sedo are not published.

you can ask sedo to agree to a NDA.

on one hand i understand why people ask for them, on the other i like to know what names sell for..
