Ray Neu · 06-23-2009, 03:32 PM

Hello Everyone!

Tomorrow I will be in the Bido Chat Room during the auction for injuryattorney.co.uk

Lets show the world how knowledgeable the ccTLDs.com community is!

What do you think of the name?

And what range do you think it will sell at?

What do you think of the name?

In terms of English as it is spoken in the UK, very little. The phrase 'solicitor' or even 'lawyer' is far more common. It sounds like an Americanism that has been registered in the .uk ccTLD in the hope it will sell well. Being cynical, I think that it may sell to a US investor as it would be hard to see any UK domainers being interested.

As much as someone is willing to pay for it but it may not be more than what it sold for recently.

Nice keywords on a highly used extension. I think this is a good name and might surprise.

I'd say mid $xxx at least

Good luck

You'll never see anyone in the UK bid on it because it's an obvious Americanism (just like a lot of the .co.uk names that seem to have slipped into recent public auctions) but that's not the same as saying it will receive no bids!

Because Bido's audience is likely to be predominantly US-based, it may well end up being sold from one American to another, without any hope of an end-user sale further down the road... I won't say "it's a con" because in these things it's always "buyer beware" but it will certainly teach the eventual buyer to become more aware of the wider world outside the US when/if it finally dawns on them what a lemon they've bought!

The more these sales come up in prominent places, the more damage they'll do to the nascent perception of the .co.uk market outside the UK (where .co.uk is already proven to be very much king) They benefit the seller a few hundred dollars, or whatever, and really hurt everyone else.

NOTE: Bido's strong US bias in its expert panel of appraisers is extremely obvious when you read the gushing praise for this name - only one of the experts blows the whistle on the fact that it's a near-meaningless combination for the UK market.

Didn't the domain sell for $3600 at the TRAFFIC ccTLD auction?

I don't think so. I checked the lists for both TRAFFIC ccTLD and DRT, but it wasn't sold at either of them.

Must be this warm weather.

It seems I confused it with another .co.uk, jewlers.co.uk that apparently sold for 3600 Euros recently.

I wouldn't reg this name if it was available for the same reasons outlined by others above - someone will probably buy it though...

jmcc · 06-24-2009, 07:49 PM

Sold for $162. Fascinating chat though.
