I like carwash.com.au but have a few concerns and would like to hear some opinions. Great domain right but look at the Google results.. even if you can get to the top organic spot, you're below the fold on a 1920x1080 resolution monitor.
I see the value in type ins and brandability but Google basically owns everything above the fold and most people aren't using 30" monitors or higher resolutions at this point.

I like it too if the price is right.
But you're spot on about terms like this (that are suitable for directories etc). Google has made it hard.
The only other slight concern that I have is that the previous owner may be a bit litigious in trying to get the name back. But I might be wrong.
And anyway, not that he/they would have any grounds imho.
Having said all that, I will be bidding. I don't want to stand accused of trying to keep the price down for my own purposes.

UB on smsgateway.. didn't want to go much more though given trends.. *cough* sour grapes *cough*
Yeah, car washes are all over the place down here too.
We decided to take a break from our domain buying drought today.
Just wish Drop picked it up instead.
D'oh.No Christmas presents for the family this year.

Congrats Oz - good pickup.
I'm sorry Drop didn't pick it up for you because it would have saved you $$$$.
However, in a perverse / selfish way, I'm happy NF got it for you at the higher price. The reason being is that it adds value to CarWash.net.au (which is mine).
If anyone is interested in picking this up for a fraction of the .com.au, please hit me up.

Hmmm I think for 1k it is probably on the money..
I remember social networking.com.au went for like 5k and people thought it was crazy...And Social Media is a better term too.

I've just done a post on this very thing - as described by Aaron Wall.

There are a few bids going on Jupiter.com.au.
What would you do with this?

Not surprised to see the AustralianCricketTeam.com.au being dropped tomorrow after losing to the Kiwis.
Hmm CompostToilet.com.au, I'm sure there's a joke about drops in there too but I'll leave it to your imagination.

I think for $251 it was a bargain. Great brandable domain. Whilst the winner would have bought it for development purposes, I'm sure, were he/she to consider selling it if the project didn't work out, there would be no less than 488 potential end-user buyers to approach.
