Default .co.uk domain sales

I have approx 400 domains for sale. They are all either travel or finance related. Most of the domains are .co.uk. (e.g. cheap-airfare.co.uk, cheap-air-flight.co.uk, cheapairlineflight.co.uk, cheapairticket.co.uk, cheap-fare.co.uk, cheapflightuk.co.uk, cheap-mortgage.co.uk, 2nd-mortgage.co.uk, buying-a-home.co.uk, low-rate-mortgage.co.uk etc).

I also have three bespoke developed sites www.thetravelbrand.com , www.astute-mortgages.co.uk and www.astute-investor.co.uk that I am considering selling.

I have no experience of how best to go about this. I have spend most of the last two days searching sites such as SEDO, Afternic, Greatdomains etc. Most of these seem to focus on .com names. Are there sites that are better for .co.uk? Does anyone have any particular experience on how best to go about this process to maximise value that they would be prepared to share?

Much appreciated.

Default Re: .co.uk domain sales

I've tried an experiment putting 30 domains on sedo.co.uk and 30 on urlportfolio.com

I sold one off urlportfolio and have had quite a few offers whereas sedo has produced nothing, and I actually put better names on sedo expecting it to perform better.

urlportfolio are good because they don't charge commission, they just make their money while you have your domain pointed to them, and share their earnings with you. However it's worth pointing out that there are much better ways of generating cash from your domains if you want to hold on to them, but it does take some work.

Thank you for your comments. Will certainly have a look at urlportfolio.com. I would also be willing to have a conversation about the alternative ways if you were willing.
