Big UK domain name to sell later today.
An auction for MobilePhones.co.uk ends today on Sedo at 6:31 PM EST. The domain name has attracted 6 bidders and 18 bids, pushing the price up to 40,500 GBP — roughly $60,000 USD.
Another sale in the works at Sedo is the web site and domain name Species.com. Sedo listed this in a Great Domains auction and it did not sell. A later bid of $37,500 was received, and the domain name is now in auction, closing in two days. It has one bidder.
Look for some potentially big travel and geo domain name sales soon, as Sedo’s travel auction ends Friday.
The top bid so far is $75,000 for Belgium.com, but that is still well short of its reserve of $250,000-$500,000. Osaka.com is up to $60,000 but its reserve is at least $100,000. So far the highest domain in the auction to meet its reserve is giappone.it, a highly trafficked name that is up to 6,000 EUR.

I have followed the mobilephones.co.uk all day with intrigue and posted my thoughts here: http://bit.ly/arT5tu i thought it would have topped 6 figures but still for such an old domain with zero content it has easily fetched it`s worth.

Final score: 91,500 GBP
@ Dean – if you convert it to USD it’s about $137k, which makes it six figures 🙂
