Hi,
I know that in the past people have made a killing by selling domain names for ridiculous fees. $7,000,000 for diamond.com rings a bell lol.
I am now employed as a web designer for a wholesale and retail butchers in Scotland. I managed to buy the following domain names for £2 each per year through www.1and1.co.uk
scotchpork.co.uk | scotch-pork.co.uk | scotch-lamb.co.uk | scotchlamb.co.uk | beefsuppliers.co.uk | beef-suppliers.co.uk | pork-suppliers.co.uk | porksuppliers.co.uk | lamb-suppliers.co.uk | lambsuppliers.co.uk
I personally think that they will help give our company a boost with Google etc. People will be searching for 'beef suppliers' etc so aslong as we have good content it will boost our position. In the long run we could be ranked No. 1 and turn over a lot of profit.
On the other hand though, what kind of value do domain names have themselves. Im not talking millions obviously but could any of these domain names fetch a few grand each if put on afternic or ebay?
I dont know domain values so hope somebody can tell me what todays market is like for sales....
