I have an offer on this domain. Please appraise it to help me decide whether to accept or not

better go to acorndomains.co.uk, there you will(hopefully) get the appropriate attention for this matter.

Great domain by the way. I love generic .co.uk domains.
It depends how much it's worth to the enduser. How much are they offering? I would say it's worth $700 - $1500
On sedo today pleasure.co.uk sold for $1000 & people would say this is a better word & has much more potential in returns i.e massage sites, aromatherapy etc
However I think monkey is a great word. Well done!
Ps: Hope they offered you more & hope it goes through. I have had loads of offers through sedo & the buyer disappears. Don't know whether it's sedo or people.

Wow, great price for pleasure. I would have paid that. Thanks, guy

 

[PRED]

I agree, I would have paid twice that at least for pleasure.
Had a thought with your domain. I wouldn't let it go too cheap. Although we should always take a good honest buyer as they don't come round too often, I feel monkey.co.uk is really good. I think to the right enduser it could be like monster.co.uk
What I mean is it could be used for something with no relevance to obviously monkeys, but it is so memorable. Good luck, I think you can hold out for quite a big pay day!

a high mid to high $x,xxx. this is a good name that does not necessarily apply to animals but also life in general. if you don;t get a buyer willing to pay that much i would suggest that you keep it to wait until the price goes up or to develop it. good luck!

$1000 max. Top names such as apartment.co.uk sold for $4632 and why.co.uk sold for $6592 and monkey is much weaker name than those.

lyrics.co.uk went for $80,000 and TheCube.co.uk went for $40,000 , but I would assume that those were developed, and had traffic

 

[smonline]

low xx,xxx - but development is something you should consider for best return on this name.

Nice for personal use. Brandable. Graphic designers dream name. Easy to remember. Use and keep. A buyer will find you later. Creature.

Nope; these were both just domains. I believe Lyrics.co.uk was making some $50 a day on parking at the time. The Cube - No idea why that commanded such a price.

I must disagree with you there. The names you quoted were bought at good prices, still I think Monkey.co.uk is more brandable than either of them.

Looks like I will keep the name.

Looks like I will keep the name.

Smart move, it's a very cool name.

Anything under $15-20k would be giving it away, imo. Wait until someone really, really wants it.

I agree. Over here in Canada - Monkey is also a slang term for a female bodypart. NOT that that is why I would say so much $$ just that it's a very brandable name and has many uses.

It's worth GBP £7000 at least. It's a TV advertising brand waiting to happen here in the UK.
