Wow that is pretty cheap if it stays at that, if I didn't have so much on I'd be up for that one.

I'd probably got up to 8k and still think it's cheap.

Stockport is one of the biggest towns in the country, used to be as I recalled right after Preston before it was upgraded. Stockport is currently trying to get City status.

Something about every so often the queen upgrades a town to a city, and Stockport was on the short list when Preston Snapped it up, 2003 I think.

Maybe an excellent buy while its hovering at town<>city

Contracted by sedo

I am contracted to the sedo auction so i cant take any of the offers by PM.

If interested in the name you will need to bid via Sedo.

I think you maybe surprised how cheap it goes for as we are indeed in a credit crunch.......hence why i am selling!

Such opportunities only come around in recessions.....

Anyone got any example of a similar UK town city site that is doing well?

Not trying to be funny just looking for ideas on someone that has made a succes of one and copying it.

For a site that is aimed at locals, try SwindonWeb | Everything Swindon news, jobs, accommodation in Swindon | SwindonWeb. There are many more (it's an easier task) aimed at tourists (see LondonTown.com | The Number One Internet Site for London England - London hotel and event review.

TownTalk - Nation Network of Town Centre Web Sites!

These guys seem to have most towns sewn up.

robmal..........i think your two examples are very good its just a shame that they dont sit on domain names that are town .co.uk

I think if anyone can replicate similar robmal's examples then they will do very well indeed!

Lee, I agree, both sites do well but if they had exact match town domains they would be far better.

I think if anyone can replicate similar robmal's examples then they will do very well indeed!

I hope so, I have been working on a town system full time for the last 5 months, with the end not in sight yet!

Good luck with the sale, worth an easy £9K in my book.
