David Brayshaw over at DomainFocus is holding the first ever .UK live domain auction, with Sedo running the auction action. Our picks of the names to be auctioned in the hour (scheduled!) long auction are as follows:
Temp.co.uk
Food.co.uk
Fly.co.uk
Sport.co.uk
Drink.co.uk
Phones.co.uk
Last years event was under the banner of ‘DomainChannel’ and was held at the Park Plaza Hotel in London, this year things have gone upmarket with the event rebranded as DomainFocus and being held at the Savoy. DomainFocus is also holding events around the globe plus regular smaller networking sessions.
Hopefully the September event in London will result in some top public sales, as often large sales occur in .UK however are never listed out in the open.
Domains such as Sport.co.uk probably will have reserves in the low £xxx,xxx which if there are motivated buyers, either corperate or domainers could see total sales hit the million pound mark. On the flip side it could be an event that attracts smaller portfolio owners with the big boys staying clear resulting in a large amount of passes. Here is to hoping Sedo promote the names in the right areas and get a few USA based buyers over and into the auction room!
