Nice sales reported on DNJournal.com

Do you have a link for that? Would be an interesting read. The domain one that is, not the metal detector one.

P.S. Congrats Dean - great sale and ROI

I think Nigel is referring to lyrics.co.uk

Going way back here but I'm guessing it's the lyrics.co.uk story, briefly referenced here:

Gets more interesting here though:

You had to drag that one back up from the grave, only just got over it :roll:

lyrics - that's the one. Well it was an amazing thing you did ratboy.

Mind you, on the back of the lyrics story, and the scrappage one, we'll probably have a hundred or so newbies and acorn visitors bashing the whois through the night for the next week or so, looking for that elusive pot of gold. Little do they know that it's nigh on impossible to replicate....or is it

...I read about a story of a local plumbing firm that started an online campaign to put pressure on the government to bring out a Boiler Scrappage shceme. So i checked if the the name was available and it was - so I regged it...

That's the way to do it!

Don't tell me you were having another sleepless night, staggered out of bed, turned on the computer, and there it was.......a prize one word generic

Seriously though was it a similar unexpected drop.

 

[lethal0r]

Nice story. Thanks for the link Grant/Domainseller200.

Reminds me of when Neustar dropped probably the best .us domain in existence, America.us.

It was free to reg for a few hours before someone reg'd it.

The person who hand reg'd it quickly flipped for tens of thousands and last time I checked, the current owner wanted around $300k.
