discussion .uk domains' comparative value

[Brizzy]

I bought some .uk domains thinking there would be opportunity. I haven't seen any interest or comments on my marketing attempts or sales. How do they price compared to .com and other TLDs?

I have:
AnteUp.uk
CoinByte.uk
FlatRental.uk
FlickReview.uk
FpsGame.uk
GameQue.uk
Krill.uk
Nape.uk
PracticallyNew.uk
PubWalk.uk
Saiga.uk
Skink.uk
Siamese.uk
TheaterBlues.uk

I think these are pretty good domain names. Are they in demand? Can they be comparable to a .com or .co.uk DN price?

Out of all these domain names, only 2 I can say have value: CoinByte and FlatRental.uk. By searching flat rental UK in google, I get at least 50 different flat rental companies. Try to reach out to all of them and you will be able to sell it. I can't say the same for the rest of your domains.

These are on a different page in the marketing section for sales. Here I want to list my domains and give my justification why I bought them, then hopefully get constructive information that would guide me to making better decisions. I understand that short words and 3 letters or less are great, but beyond the obvious and into different TLDs and 2 word choices, etc...

.COM
2022ballot - midterm elections. I thought there'd be huge 1 year ad income.
ammozip - Ammo is a big thing and in demand. Zip is a high value word.
blinktip - Both blink and tip are high value words.
carsteady - Trying to find something not taken in the auto/car realm.
climatesky - Environmental / Climate is big atm
cloudgoto - Cloud and SaaS, IaaS, whatever is always good.
creditoon - looking for a trendy name that has something to do with credit
envirobench - Environmental / Climate is big atm .. environmental benchmarking
gameenemy - Gaming is a huge market. Finding a marketable name for a gaming site or game.
gamenemy - Took the other option so they have to buy it from me regardless.
gapcrypto - Crypto is huge and this is easy to say and memorize
holisticbuy - Healthcare and holistic medicine is a billion dollar industry
loanhip - Anything easy to remember using loan
lunchub - Everything is a hub. This was available and trendy sounding.
mapdebt - Credit, debt, loan industry is big. mapping out debt for consolidation or reduction
qty0 - 4 characters and available
qty5 -
qty7 -
qty9 -
taxtunnel - Taxes are a huge industry. trendy name.
travelvaticancity - 5 million visitors to Vatican City per year.
voterzip - Voting, reviewing, plus zip is a high value word.
cryptosphinx - Getting available words in the crypto realm
phantomdefense - is a website I used when I was making kydex gun holsters.
climateprobe - Environmental / Climate is big atm

.Travel
JohorBahru - 7.2 million visitors per year. one of the most traveled cities.
hcmc - 8.2 million visitors per year. one of the most traveled cities.

.UK
anteup - Online gambling site
coinbyte - Crypto site
flatrental - Renting flats, obviously
flickreview - Movie review. Called flicks in UK.
fpsgame - First Person Shooter Game. Gaming
gameque - Easy to say Gaming site
krill - Short 1 word - krill is used for krill oil for the Omega-3 fatty acids. Healthcare industry
nape - short 1 word, was available so I took it.
practicallynew - sell used goods.
pubwalk - like a pub crawl.
saiga - 1 word
siamese - 1 word can be used for cats or other marketable thing
skink - 1 short word, could be brandable
theaterblues - I read that in the UK this is what they call scrubs. Nurses buy scrubs.

So, that is the justification behind my purchasing. Am I being too thoughtful? Thinking too hard, not hard enough?

I also used the .Travel because I wanted travel domains and these were gobbled up. Thought it would be a good idea to get a couple.
I got the .uk ones trying to get high density, area specific TLD with some available short 1 word DNs and reach another market.

Again, looking forward to some insight to what I have vs how I should view the market. I also would like the good, the bad, and the ugly about your thoughts on my small portfolio. I am quite new to this.

TIA

Hi

since this is about your domains, specifically, then it is not really a general discussion.

still, we'll let it slide for now.

as far i can see, your .com list is mostly brandable names.
even though they may have some viable keywords, none are exact match for a specific product or service.

the rest are not liquid by any means, so basically you have a group of long term holds, that may take a long time to sell, if ever.

Good Luck!

imo...

.co.uk is where it's at.

 

[Brizzy]

So, the people in the UK would rather type .co.uk than just .uk? I can understand.com vs .net, but that doesn't make sense.

Yes that's my understanding.

It's all about what was used first.

.co.uk is well established extension and has the comparable strength of .com for it's region
