Wanted: Domain Appraisal MostWatched.co.uk - any value?

[DomainAuction]

Hi I just reged MostWatched.co.uk - thought it sounded a dood name... anyone have an opinion/guess on the value, if any

Thank you.

Not sure of unregged value, but worth more if you hooked into the eBay API to find out which products were being watched by most people (if that's exposed by the API, that is!). Group your site by the main categories and then list any auctions that matcha search criteria, order by most watched.

Most Watched = popular (sometimes!).

Have some RSS feeds so people can put a search term in so if anything that matches has greater than X watchers, it appears on their feed/auto email.

eBay has a pretty good affiliate scheme whereby you get a %age of transaction.

I quite like that idea in fact

That was the idea I was thinking of when I thought of checking the names availability, but I wouldn't know how to develop something like that, could buy a script like 'Build A Niche Store' or something like that.

Thanks!

I dont know if there's a script to that sort of thing. I normally roll my own.

I was a beta developer on the ebay api when it was first launched.. pretty sure you can do that. In theory you could do everything thats done on the main site.

Just had a look and its not supported through the API , closest thing through the api is sort by bid count.

There is however a feature in the editor kit that allows for sort by watch count

Thanks for all that info guys. I have bought a script from someone and uploaded it to the site: www.MostWatched.co.uk

Any comments/suggestions? Also, developed like this do you think it would be worth anything?

Thanks again!

yup nice. Just one thing - i would have a pair of flags at the top: one USA and one UK, so that the the user could switch between UK and USA ebay.

Thanks. I would like it to just be eBay UK auctions.

Im trying to find out how to change it to UK auctions only... have posted a request for help/advice in the services required section of this forum.

Thanks again,
Damien.
