A .co.uk domain name was sold this week for a record price: recycle.co.uk went for £150,000 – so there must be money in being green!
It was bought by ASAP Ventures, who will use the name to launch a company providing information on recycling.
Other high priced sales include mobile.co.uk , recently bought for £120,000 and the £110,000 paid ten years ago ago when Sainsburys bought taste.co.uk.
