Very good warning post Italian, reps added.

I saw the L-L-L-L .com "buyout" thread and thought, how far could this go? And why?

People need to really study up before buying into any fad. Look at the numbers/stats, the letters, the frequency and the overall appeal to an end user.

Don't just reg something because you think you may miss out on the next big countdown. Register a name because you have a purpose for it. Reg it, because you have seem similar sales or flips that tell you it's worth the reg fee, reg it becuase you have development ideas, end users in mind or see great potential.

There are great names within every trend, you just have to pick the right ones, and some trends have far-far fewer great names than others ie: L-L-L-L.com vs. LLLL.net.

As I can see it there are only a few reasons for soo many countdowns and new trends.

1) There are so many new domainers, companies, websites, and people coming onto the internet and into the domain name market everyday that the supply is rapidly being swallowed by the ever growing demand.

2) Domainers both new and experienced, who have invested in a niche that is being sold as "rare", want to perpetuate the rarity of the niche. They hype up the niche, stimulating more registrations in an attempt to eventually have niche completly sold out, thus increasing the value of the names they bought at the start of the pyrimid.

3) People see what happend with the LLL.coms, CCC.coms, LLLL.coms and assume it will happen to every rare niche of domains. They try to reg the best of the best in any rare category of domains they can find or invent. Then they sit back and wait for others to do the same, assuming that it is a mathematical inevitability or a "sure thing".

3) A mix of all of the above.
