WOW!!! What an absolute steel for http://www.Gold.co.uk – Bargain of the century imo at $63,800.00. The seller obviously didnt realize its value? or maybe they were desperate for the money, who knows, crazy sale!!! This name is easy worth the high end of xxx.xxx. I know if I owned GOLD.CO.UK i wouldn’t let it go for anything less than 1,000,000 (1 million). From doing some really quick research on “GARNER MEDIA LTD” it appears they own some very nice domains, are they investors as they dont appear to be in the gold market?(well now they are, lol). It will be interesting to see if they develop Gold or flip it for a quick profit to one of the large cash for gold companies on TV (I’d be calling and emailing them as we speak). Either way they are truely on to a winner with this name. i’ll be watching this one to see what they do with it. I’m expecting they will flip it but as i couldnt find any domain sales history on the company I’m 50/50.

The only other sale i think worthy of a mention is GLITCH.COM, and thats because i think it was a win win sale, as in the seller done well to achieve $19,000 and the buyer obviously got the name they wanted for what appears to be a New Game they are launching (very brandable) Personally I wouldnt have paid more than $10K but when someone wants a name bad enough and got a plan of action, price doesnt always come into it, thats what makes each and every sale individual and exciting i guess.

Well done Guys
