WeddingCarHire.co.uk Sold For Six Figures?
2010 March 26
According to a press release today a company in the UK, limobroker.co.uk said they recently purchased the domain name, WeddingCarHire.co.uk for six figures.
“Although we paid a hefty six-figure sum for the domain name, we felt the market was worthy of such a substantial investment” Tej Randeva, Managing Director is quoted as saying.
However the domain was first registered in November 2009, and if in fact it was bought for six figures that would be the second recent domain registration to be resold in the six figures this week.
CamRoulette.com was sold for $151K a couple of days ago after being registered in November 2009.

“Good luck to them if they paid xxx,xxx for it, in recovering that cash.”
of course, it very much depends if the xxx,xxx price is closer to 100,000 rather than 999,999
however, despite the new owner of the domain reads this blog, he still hasn’t revealed us the real price
.
“despite the new owner of the domain reads this blog”
Maybe he does, but I think the person posting as him is not actually him. The poster here seems to sarcastic to be running this business.
“the person posting as him is not actually him”
yes, I’ve had the same doubts reading the posts
.
There are at least 572 businesses in this space in the UK according to Google.
If the sale price was low 6 figures I am thinking it was a bargain.
“If the sale price was low 6 figures I am thinking it was a bargain.”
Paul you’re a lone ranger nut unless you’re counting the cents figures.
“If the sale price was low 6 figures I am thinking it was a bargain.”
no, because, with few companies that share the same business, each one can make a good revenue no matter the domain name it uses and also if it hasn’t a website, so, ended these few days of clamor, due to the high priced domain buy (if happened) the xxx,xxx amount paid will be only a pure cost without any other advantage, then, they just lost money
it’s the same reason why I don’t believe that sex.com will be sold at an high price… a porn site doesn’t need to spend (nor can spend) $10-20M to buy a domain because, that money, will NEVER come back in the site owner pocket!
.
however, surely, they’ve produced lots of discussions on the web…
I’ve made a serch on the web but no one site has news about about the price… I feel it will remain a mystery like happened with the office.com sale…
I just registered EarthShatteringNews.com, which according to DomainTools had never been registered before. A Google search (in quotes) brings up 2,460,000 pages.
EarthShatteringNews.com …to sell to…?
Paris Hilton. She could do a blog entry every time she has an orgasm.
Or maybe President Obama. He could do one every time he has another proposal which infringes on freedom of commerce.
Hopefully I can get them bidding against each other…
I’ve just done a search for ‘wedding car hire’ on google and http://www.weddingcarhire.co.uk is at the top of the search results.
It won’t take long for this company to make their money back!
I think that domain may have sold for about £100k ??
Now we are 2 “lone ranger nuts”
>Now we are 2 “lone ranger nuts”
Nah robin north is Tonto.
I don’t think this domain is worth 6 figures! Is wedding car hire a popular search phrase? Not popular enough to be worh xxx xxx – Also, was it sold in $’s or £’s ??
Either way this company won’t see their returns for a LONG time.

I don’t know why people keep saying they won’t get their money back? How much do you think it costs to hire a limo or classic car for a wedding? How much money do you think you would make on wedding car hire if you could pull in all the big wedding deals, where they might have 5 or 6 cars or more?
It’s not an Adsense site or selling rubber ducks, they don’t need to shift millions of them to make their money.
I totally agree with that. After looking at the site, and its google ranking, I wouldn’t be suprised if they make their money back in a few months.
Wedding car hire is a good business if you do it right, these guys are doing it on a national scale so I think they’ll be ok. Plus its a good domain name to have.
I just looked into this company and it looks like they own http://www.limobroker.co.uk and http://www.coachbroker.co.uk too. Looks like they know what thwy’re doing.
Still not as good as this site hey?
thats a good investment for a wedding car hire site.
Not sure what this company paid for this domain name but I agree with ‘Joan Wedding Girl’ that it won’t take them long to get their money back, especially if they seo and promote the site properly.
they only paid £10, 000.
Their seo seems to be pretty good. £10,000 is a bargain (if that’s true).
I sold them hireweddingcar.co.uk
It is making the money now though
I just registered EarthShatteringNews.com, which according to DomainTools had never been registered before. A Google search (in quotes) brings up 2,460,000 pages.

Great source of making money.
Great piece of link bait Tej! People just think about the amount of EKM links this little porky has produced for the website in question!
What a domain hey!
We’ll let him know.. Remember about our limo hire edinburgh services.
