Given that I'm intending to be the end user and I'm not planning on selling, the value I see is more in the developed site. I would hope that once developed a high £xx,xxx figure would not be unreasonable, but undeveloped I don't know, maybe half that to the right buyer?
Thanks for the suggestions, they're pretty much what I was thinking of starting with. I'm hoping to go into the eCommerce side of things too and I'm already talking with people who build tables etc to work on a commission basis. As for the database of clubs etc I'm already working on it and have a list of over 100 clubs.
There's naturally a focus on here to buy to sell. In this case both domains were purchased for the purpose of developing as a business. I acquired skate to set up a skatepark database and shop and there was no intention to sell, it just worked out that way and it was a pretty tough decision.
With snooker I was lucky in that I was in a position to buy when it became available. Having kept an eye on it for several years (I'm a big snooker fan), if the opportunity came along I'd always intended to buy to develop. The only real issue I see right now is time, but I'm not in any particular rush so I appreciate this is going to be a long-term project.
I'm quite surprised that the focus of this thread is more on snooker than skate. Skating/skateboarding etc is a big industry and although I feel snooker is the better domain, I don't think there's that much in it. Maybe it's because as undeveloped domains there is a difference and I'm considering more the revenues etc skate was making?
Thanks for the comments, I just hope I don't disappoint when developing
