**Creature** · 10-24-2006, 03:07 PM

Where is the auction and what is the price now ? Thanks.

**aZooZa** · 10-24-2006, 03:10 PM

I don't know who 'Bonkers' is, but he/she might not be that 'bonkers' -- I'm looking at that domain and thinking "University Of ...". Anyone else? In the UK that's about �17,000. Not a lot for a big University 'facebook' or 'myspace' niche site.

**11jsd** · 10-24-2006, 03:12 PM

University of Birmingham, 30,000+ students

**aZooZa** · 10-24-2006, 03:14 PM

Yeah -- there are loads:

**domainah** · 10-24-2006, 04:14 PM

Yeah the university of thing is correct.. I own UOM.com and most people are looking for universities..all kinds of different ones though, doesnt need to be Birgminham..in the US alone there are 15+ universities with the acronym UOB if anyone is interested in uom (maryland, mass, michigan.etc) at a similar price..let me know..

**ThisDot** · 10-24-2006, 05:11 PM

Will it hit $50k? I've heard that there is also a big bank known by that acronym. In Europe I believe.

**simon** · 10-24-2006, 05:49 PM

whats the current bid for the name?

**darxis** · 10-24-2006, 06:04 PM

$30,249.00

**simon** · 10-24-2006, 06:07 PM

i am sure Bonkers gonna win this one as well.

**aZooZa** · 10-25-2006, 02:39 AM

UOB = United Overseas Bank. My wife has an account with them. Dohhhhh. THAT's where this one's headed.

**flybuzz** · 10-26-2006, 02:45 AM

**TurNIC.com** · 10-27-2006, 06:18 PM

where is the auction held?

**mjposada** · 10-30-2006, 03:30 AM

United Overseas Bank did not bid for this name. they don't know how and what domain name is and how it can help their business.
UOB (united overseas bank) is one of the three banks in singapore. It's very active in Asian countries especially in South East Asia. it's Singapore rivals
DBS bank and OCBC bank all use DBS.COM and OCBC.com but UOB Bank uses
UOBgroup.com. While it Malaysian subs uses UOB.com.my
Very confusing. seem like the bank does not realize that if some sensitive banking info sent to email address ending with UOB.COM instead of UOBGroup.com or UOB..com.my, they are doomed. worst case scenerio, scammer can create fake UOB.COM website to steal their customers info.
how could they not realize this ?
this bank better offer to buy UOB.com for their sake and image.
if i have money, i will bid for it as well.
even 1 mil is a change for a bank if they really want uob.com.
but this bank is know for their stinginess. i know bcoz i worked for them until last month. they gave me 40 dollar pay raise for good performance.

my 2 cents.

Latest twist on dn UOB.com. it seems like the singaporean bank (United Overseas Bank) did know the value of doman name and it tried to get this dn name through WIPO. Of course, they failed. If i own UOB.com, I'd be pissed off that I got sued and demand 5mil from the bank if they really want it bad. after all, they are the BANK.
