  At that price still think its got a lot of development value as a directory only needs to get a 1,000 surveyors to pay $50 ea a year for listing to nearly pay the initial purchase price. Giving there are 50,000 in usa 10,000 in UK and 5,000 in Canada 3,000 in Australia ie 100,000 easy that use the english term surveyor should be easy enough. I think at these prices, it shows development is the way forward rather than flipping.

  That is low figure even taking into account the property professionals institutional marketing mindset.
  Building societies or International property agencies should have picked this up.
  I wonder if this sale was marketed in the property Week magazine & the RICS./ poor marketing or time to ‘hunker down’

  Drop domains are never marketed as opposed to industry trade show auctions. For one you have to backorder the name to be in the auction.

  There were 153 people who had backordered the domain, including us

  We bid up to $50K. Yes I think the domain is worth more, but you can’t buy everything.
