We have just invested in and developed http://memory.co.uk and are now looking for domains with Domain Capital's backing in mind. Domains are still incredibly undervalued - especially .co.uk. For example a personalised numberplate here with for example "mds 1" would cost 150,000$ on the open market and jet MDS.co.uk could probably be picked up for just 10,000$ - go figure whether there is upside potential there!!

The more the public and business sector understand our industry, the more sales to end users will occur. Period. We need to organize this type of marketing promotion. How? Well those who have the big money and the big portfolios will probably define that for us this summer. *Brian Bisset’s comment:

We all have read Bill Gates comments on the ultimate real estate, but have not come across too many pieces that argue this well. If anyone knows of any, please list them or contact me: b.d.bisset@gmail.com I honestly feel that the more the general public understands the importance of relevant domain names, the better off we'd be.

I've dropped prices on domains I know to be premium domains, which I always appraise at wholesale. Even below wholesale, I'm not getting any nibbles, other than "under $100" bids. Anyone who can tell be that "boast.org" isn't worth at least $300 is not experienced in domain appraisal. However, a domain is always only worth what somebody will pay. Since that domain doesn't seem to have a BUSINESS SECTOR buyer, it has to be appraised for a domainer or other speculator intending to build the domain out for their ideas of content. I am offering this domain on several domain forums, and I'm getting bids, in the high $xx. Revealing this information will diminish my chances of making the deserved price this domain commands, but I'm using it as a point of reference to show that single word domains, even in .org, are not drawing expected prices. This is a one word, very descriptive and attitudinal dictionary domain of only five letters, will probably sell for less than $500. Six months ago, I turned an offer of $700 down. So my point is, the GW BUSH Recession is, in fact, affecting the domain industry because it's preventing lower level domainers from having enough cash to pay a little more for domains they want. Additionally, even the big guys are avoiding buying domain portfolios, and focusing more on SELLING. Anyone want to deny my claim? Domain sales have taken a big drop.

He doesnt says what is the % of interest. How much he offers for a domain (or) domain portfolio. How he analyze / appraise a domain and what is the maximum percentage of the asset value he offer as loan. What is the length of repayment. Does he offer any payment holiday ETC. His business will develop much more if answers this. His Website doesnt have a F.A.Q. So that it is very useful for everybody. None of my questions were answer in this interview. Best Regards.
