The great big .uk Rights of Registration thread!

Well done. Which one did you sell?

Well done. Which one did you sell?

A second name

I've actually had enquiries on 3 second names so far with xxx offers, yet to seal the deal on other two yet, see what happens.

 

[Gav]

Where are you selling them?

 

[Murray]

Where are you selling them?

Landing pages from domainmanage.uk and whois

 

[TRUK]

Now the infamous DoGoddy a(u)ctions will start to see who can fart further

Edit: Semi-infamous DL auctions can also start to see who can pee further, too

To anyone that backordered with 123-reg, have you received your refunds yet? I spent £1k+ in 10 orders and they've only refunded me about £70 in separate (per domain) transactions!

 

[TRUK]

Probably because business is global, just like .com it's registered worldwide

Nope. Because the owner is a damn good catcher and programmer. Check realtime.at. I wish I could have used them too.

About the same here

They've partly refunded, not fully

I paid via PayPal and my Debit card transactions has showed back up
My Credit card ones haven't but PayPal say refund is complete.

I am sure they will come, there was a few domains I had booked with them caught by one of their partners and moved over to them so I am sure they are working their way through as fast as poss.

 

[ian]

I messaged them and was told it will happen, but might be another week or so. What a messy refund process!

 

[Murray]

malemodel.uk is available, seems like one to do something creative/funny with @iamrofe

 

[Siusaidh]

My 123-reg refunds all seem to have been paid back, and appearing on my Paypal account, but not yet cleared.

Overall analysis of last week:

Target names: 40
Names acquired: 17
That was much more than I expected to get

As I am a customer not a catcher, I was reliant on others to catch the names for me.

123-reg: got me 2, but only one on my priority list
Dropped.uk got me one that I wanted
Total Registrations got me 5, and they were ones I really wanted
Dropcatcher got me 5, including some nice ones
The remaining 4 I picked off live through Crazy Domains

Total Registrations has always been a bit of a catching gem for me. They caught me some quality domains in previous releases so I went with them again. They caught over 50% of the names I requested. I think their non-auction, cheap process got overlooked by a lot of people, because even mid-week most of the good names were going begging and available for pre-reg.

I could have made a killing, but I only buy domains I actually want to use. They got me:
Christ.uk
Stuart.uk
Susannah.uk
Tudors.uk
Vocation.uk

Those names may not sound that exciting to you, but they were exactly what I wanted.

Same here, refunded only about £100 in separate transactions from a over a grand.

Stuart.uk

There will be a Stuart somewhere that will probably pay you a few hundred

 

[Siusaidh]

I'm descended from the Stuart royal family, Murray, the rightful rulers of all you lot, so I'm not exactly going to sell stuart.uk (or stuarts.uk for that matter) for a few hundred quid! I might sell you a knighthood when the Hanoverians who usurped us finally get phased out.

We lost our castle after the '45. That doesn't go well with me. There has to be payback. A bit like waiting for 123-reg to refund pre-registrations. Personally I like her Majesty the Queen. But the Stuarts are still the rightful rulers.

 

[Lovekraft]

Yep have been refunded about two thirds of my 123-Reg preorders but still waiting on a chunk. Very odd system.

 

[Siusaidh]

Once a 123-reg refund shows up on your Paypal, how long does it take to clear and actually be added back to your bank accounts? Anyone know? I have refund payments listed in Paypal, which they then pay back to the bank accounts, but I haven't seen anything come through in the banks.

Was that your chosen subject ?

Well, I am actually directly descended from Henry 6th, my grandpa was a Kirkpatrick of clan Kirkpatrick

It's pretty cool because someone has made a website for the Kirkpatrick clan where you can trace my family tree on my grandpas side back to someone born 1070
