Gold.co.uk reportedly sold for £600,000

[domainking131]

An article posted today on Telegraph.co.uk states that Gold.co.uk has sold for £600,000 making it the largest sales price ever for a .co.uk domain. What is interesting is the buyer had a deal to buy the name from the seller £40,000, but the deal fell through and he invested the money in BullionByPost, which is set to have revenues of more than £100m this year.

"The gold.co.uk internet address has changed hands for £600,000, in what is believed to be a record price for a website with the British “.co.uk” ending."

It would be great if DN Journal could verify the transaction.

Good news for ccTLDs. They are often underrated, but they are proving themselves slowly but surely.Local matters.
