Do you like it ?
I'd need only your feedback about the possible market value and some ideas on the most appropriate use in case of future development, thanks.

Great name Luigi. Development could be a mens site - like GQ or Maxim only an online version (take a look at askmen.com). Value undeveloped $30,000 and upwards.

Sell it to the owner of Virgin :-D

Despite it being a word and whatnot, it has little effect outside of the UK.

it has little effect outside of the UK.

I strongly disagree with that Theo.

You said that without development the domain is worth $30k. Please explain why. For the UK market - where the word "Sir" still has a bold meaning - I would think that *developed* it might approach that figure, eventually.

You might approach the owners of sir.co.uk however.

"Sir" has international meaning as a term of respect to men. I'm not talking about knighthoods here or the jolly good, tally ho depiction of olde England in Errol Flynn films either. It's development potential is enormous in my opinion and I can see it reaching $30K in the open market.
The word is used commonly in the US - or maybe they just like my accent :-D

It's not that the word is not being used in the US - it's the context that it's being used in. While you could do a men's magazine in the UK called "Sir", doing the same in the US would be pointless. "Thank you sir" and "spare some change, sir" would not prompt me to visit sir.net
