buycameras.co.uk

Please post & PM your offers for buycameras.co.uk - great name!

 

any idea of a BIN?

 

Seeing as you have not posted any sort of starting bid, ill offer $20

 

S/he expecting £500 through Sedo.

In its current state, I'd value it at £2.34 or whatever the cost of registering a .co.uk domain is now.

If the seller's expectations become more realistic then I'd be interested.

 

Ok what would you like to offer?

 

£2.34 which is the cost of domain registration. The domain is only a few days old so it's not really worth anything.

 

lol - you think? Honestly?

 

There's no site, no traffic, it's just a domain registered a few days ago. If it was "camera.co.uk" or "cameras.co.uk" (type-in domains) then it would be worth more. But it's not. So at the moment it's worth the registration fee. Honestly. Develop it and maybe in a few months it's worth more. Or if terryuk is willing to spend $20 on it then that's a good return on £2.34.

 

You never know about type ins, people do type some wierd stuff it'd be ok to develop an affiliate website on..

 

Well, assuming the uniques in the sedo listing mean visits to the domain then it indicates 6 unique visitors so far (from DP?). But type-in visits would be better judged over a period of 4 weeks and proper stats tracking.

Good luck if you buy it, terryuk.

 

I know hehe

 

I agree with development the value would increase but in it's current state the value is certainly more then reg fee

There are tons of possible end users for this domain!
Make an inventory of possible end users by viewing and looking for websites that sells cameras (and that are a lot fortunately) and make a list of contact details and emails and send them an email that the domain is for sale.

Put in on ebay and let the ones that have any potential interest bid on the domain.

My 2 cents.
Reg fee? Hell NO!
A domain doesn't need specifly type in traffic to hold more value then reg fee.

 

Thats what i think.. at the time, would google have been worth more than reg fee but they worked on the idea, and implemented good brand awareness, not saying buycameras.co.uk is very brandable, but it can be developed

 

Well, Google holds it value because what it has achieved and the whole infrastructure behind the domain and the services they are offering combined with it's overall public knowledge and future plans, current assets and so on.

And regarding Google... You said it wouldn't probably more worth then reg fee at the time. Well it would definately been have worth more then reg fee since google was just a replacement for Backrub. And at this stage it was already building up reputation. So value would definately been a ''litle'' more then reg fee.

The reason why i see buycameras.co.uk is worth more then reg fee is because it has endless possibilities for end users in this market niche.
It perfectly describes the business and geographic location.
Therefor it holds instant value IMO.

End users are the ones you should look for when someone decides to sell a domain like this.

I'm not saying you could retire of this domain but it's sure as hell more then reg fee or a couple of hundred GBP.
It just need some major effort to compile a list of possible prospects for this domain and contacting them.

And don't rely solely on one bid. Contact as much prospects as you can and invite them to an auction, this way you would recieve the best possible chance to get a fair price on it.

And the final outcome would be as close as you can get for an realistic appraisel.

 

There's no doubt it has potential, but a quick search on unregistered .co.uk camera domain names shows others with potential are still available, too.

Maybe a company that's currently doing well, such as Jessops, might like it as part of a further marketing campaign. I'd say buycameras.co.uk is more memorable than jessops.co.uk, so I'd agree that it can be more valuable to an existing camera retailer (for marketing purposes).

 

Or start ups

.co.uk holds some interesting oportunities if you would take the time to search and spend

 

anyway people - thanks for hijacking my thread. Just trying to do a little business. ryan_uk - if more people think it's only worth the reg fee i'll give it to you for free!

 

Yes it can be percieved as hijacking but if this all you can conclude from the replies and even want to give it away for free?

Then good luck to with your future business ventures

 

I'm not asking people to appraise the thing, I'm asking if anyone would like to buy it. ryan_uk just came along and saying what he thinks its worth - Thanks ryan but it's worth whatever people pay for it. Some might pay £100-£15,000 because they want it.

 

Sorry if you're offended, gordi555. I was interested, but not at £500. I gave you my starting offer, albeit it's low and lower than the $20 that terryuk mentioned, but you didn't specify a lower-limit. Edz is right about targeting companies involved in cameras (I really hint again - Jessops because they're doing so well right now, better than Dixons etc). They'd be willing to pay a lot higher price, than someone who has to start from scratch, because their ROI is a lot more guaranteed and quick.

Good luck!
