Masters.com.au

I wonder how much Woolworths paid Masters Medical for the domain name masters.com.au ?

I'm more interested to know why they're using masters.com.au after acquiring hardware.com.au?

 

[domainlover]

maybe that just wanted to annoy Coles who let it drop ?

I think most people associate company names with domains, rather than generic terms. For a business called Masters, it's hard to beat Masters.com.au. Why dilute the brand or cause confusion with a generic term?

in the UK we've had two classic bad domain choices.
B&Q had to go with DIY.com
British Gas 'used' to use House.co.uk

This ended up going for $250k

I'm more interested to know why they're using masters.com.au after acquiring hardware.com.au?

1. Because Masters is their brand
2. Because they probably don't give a toss about hardware.com.au other than making sure nobody else owns it.

I wonder if Woolworths will let masters.com.au and hardware.com.au drop now?

Don't bother trying to backorder them via Netfleet. Already tried...

I'll pass on Masters.com.au, but would happily take a shot at Hardware.com.au

It seems unlikely that these would drop (managed through CSC) ...but you never know what will happen! Case in point, just recently a big corporate dropped a few absolute belters (and I was lucky enough to snag one of them! )

I think they'll let masters.com.au drop. I noticed they let miy.com.au drop recently.
