I guess I was off on my assessment of it as a safe/viable acronym use for amyp, as others agree it's a good one.... my bad, noy. I myself would have leaned in the Amy P. direction as well though, since there ARE search results for it and not a problem with TM's etc as 'might' be the case with yellow pages..... all great idears.

CDVD just ended at TDNAM for $1010

I didn't think it would go that high.

I recently sold Sizo(dot)com to an end user for Mid $X,XXX. That is another CVCV off the market.

[fastadam]

Does anybody know what <aart> sold for on tdnam? I was watching, but took too long to refresh!

(I decided not to bid because of the weird whois data... didn't want to risk picking up a stolen domain.)

Congrats bmugford! SIZO is a good one, but I'm glad to see it sold for at least mid $X,XXX. Hopefully you got a nice return

Thanks Fantasy! Not as high as I thought it might go...

Average sale prices on eBay during January were well down on December's prices. Here's an analysis of trends over the past 12 months. As always, I've excluded domains selling for more than $100 as I consider them outliers on eBay. All averages below are based on trendlines calculated from weekly figures, so smoothing out irregularities.

Over the past 12 months mean prices fell at an average rate of about $0.16 a month, a total of $1.90 over the period. The trend showed a drop from $14.74 to $12.84, which is a drop of 14% based on the midpoint.

Over the past 9 months mean prices rose at an average rate of about $0.81 a month.

Over the past 6 months mean prices rose at an average rate of about $1.25 a month.

Over the past 3 months mean prices fell at an average rate of about $1.82 a month.

Monthly means were -

February $20.13
March $17.47
April $14.83
May $13.39
June $8.57
July $8.61
August $9.09
September $11.98
October $10.59
November $18.03
December $18.12
January $13.91

Average remaining registration rose very slightly over the 12-month period. This rise adds about 1 cent to the monthly price drop, bringing the effective price drop up to about $0.17 a month.

Average domain quality rose slightly over the 12-month period. This rise adds about 10 cents to the monthly price drop, bringing the effective price drop up to about $0.27 a month.

I don't usually post weekly means as they normally show a lot of fluctuation. However, I'll make an exception this month as prices have fallen steadily over the past six weeks. Here are the means -

December week 2 $19.50
December week 3 $18.79
December week 4 $18.19
January week 1 $16.94
January week 2 $14.57
January week 3 $12.76
January week 4 $11.49

These figures present an even blacker picture than the monthly means.

One possible explanation for this drop goes as follows - A certain eBay buyer was bidding on almost every domain, starting in early September, and winning a substantial proportion. She stopped buying in January - my last sale to her was on the 17th. At about the same time a new SnapNames buyer started bidding on LLLL domains, and winning a substantial proportion. The eBay and SnapNames usernames are different, but I suspect they are the same person. This might at least partly explain the recent drop.

Finally, sales volume on eBay has been substantially down over the past week, probably because of the poor realisations recently. Sales volume is variable but has averaged around 120 domains a week over the past year. Sales during the first week of February were down to just 38 domains.

If you look at some of the premium sales it is pretty clear the market is weakening. LLL.com looks to have been on the slide aswell. I would put the explanation down to fresh turbulance in stock markets and perhaps the realisation by some that despite a fresh start to the year the old issues remain.

I guess the big question is, With a name worth not much more than reg fee just how long will people keep renewing before they get sick of it?

As I said in another thread I think the domain market generally is at the crossroads right now. The next few months is crucial. If we hit summer and the market still hasn't improved then look out.

Actually a pretty good post IMO (for a change)

[tetrapak]

I have to agree. I also see that the prices are not going anywhere on the resale level. This year will not be easy if it continues like this. Be prepared to have a good variety of revenue sources, otherwise you might end up in a tough situation. On the other hand it also means that if you can afford you'll be able to pick up good domains at very low levels. Lately I've been buying product type of domains for really funny prices..

The market is weakening?

Which movie was that?

It seems to me that everybody but you are increasing exposure to LLLL.com while LLL.com have ups and downs.

Now we have BuyDomains shopping at GoDaddy auctions for LLLL.com too...but you did not see that, right?

Maybe we should drop all our domains...after all that`s what it seems you want to achieve.

The economy and its problems are there, we are just watching the shift of economic power from the Usa to the BRIC markets....it will take another decade probably to complete.

Still internet population is rising and will keep rising...while your posts keep telling everybody here is a fool.

Why don`t you spend your time making some analysis of developed websites percentage out of the whole LLLL.com and LLL.com ?

There are many people out there regging useless domains and useless extensions, do you ever go and bash them too or you just have a thing for short .com names?

I would really love to know all the domains you have...I think I would find some big surprises there. And I mean the ones under all your aliases...

There are a few sites which keeps increasing their LLLL.com portfolio and their prices are quite high.

I have never read you bashing those sites. That alone makes me think your goal in this forum.

Please, show some real data to justify why we should drop all our domains so at least I can realize how fool I have been.

Thank you

oh btw, Snoopy, arnt you one of the ex-admins of DomainState who just couldnt handle the pressure & competition and ran away by selling it?

[italiandragon]

and, since I do follow pretty much all financial markets, Forex and other stuff, why don`t you go around telling that GOLD is weakening so everybody buying it is a fool?

Because it did weak....and I could even point you my posts about it on the Forex forums I write on...but I don`t like to advertise too much, so only will if you ask.


Once it was making a new high everyday in November, I had to read all BS of people telling Gold is going to reach $2,000....

Now all those people are gone....disappeared.

I did not buy it. I am waiting the pullback to $1,000 area as I know how the market moves....the fools are the ones thinking the markets can keep just going up without retracements in price.

Just like housing bubble, demand and offer make the price, bubbles do happen but if there is a need then once the bubble has busted, wise investors silently shop.

LLL.com in 2002 were as cheap a few hundreds $ , if you read then, there were people saying it was crazy....yet the prices went up and up....but expecting then every month they just go up is just fool.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=358387
Yet I bet then there would a fight like sharks over fresh meat if any LLL.com would be for sale at $500 today.

And, with that US dollar going down the drain, between 10 years when the Usa economy will be down much more than where it is now, Us prices will be higher due to inflation....or simply we`ll have Eur or AUD prices...because I am not going to sell in USD once that one start going the way I expect by 2020.

Oh...yes, the Gold buyers...the fools who buy today will probably feel sorry by then....uhm....maybe not.

guys I would like to spend a few word on Snoop . He is experienced, owns some excellent domains and HIS analysis are personal and give a different point of view.
At the same time he was correct 6 monthes ago on his predictions.(this doesn't mean he will be correct for the future);you can shopping on ebay for LLLL.COM at less then 10$ a pop currently. So he deserved my respect and by any mean you can tell that he is acting in bad faith.
Iknow Snoop you do not need any lawyer, but just wanted to input my 2c

There has been a financial MELTDOWN if you did not notice.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: GONE

GENERAL MOTORS : GONE

TONS OF MINOR US BANKS: GONE

UNICREDIT BANK (ITALY): NEARLY GONE

DETROIT HOUSING MARKET: JUST GOOGLE IT...

MAIN STOCK MARKETS COLLAPSED AN AVERAGE OF 50 % (SOME MORE) FROM THE 2007 TOPS TO THE MARCH 2009 LOW.

TONS OF PEOPLE HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN EATING OR PAYING BILLS WORLDWIDE BECAUSE THEY LOST EVERYTHING.

In such economic scenario, expecting that domain names would keep value was insane.

But if I go and want a LLLL.com at BuyDomains, they won`t sell it to me for $5.

Some of these names will sell for nearly zero because people are having liquidity problems. It`s normal. In the short term, market go up and down.

I limited my posting on this forum because I am sick of people looking the short term flip.

I look at the big picture. The long term.

10 years renewal costs me $75 for a LLLL.com

But even assuming no revenue (which happens only if you don`t develop them at all), I`m confident that within 10 years I can get an offer well beyond that. Unfortunately I am not wealthy like BuyDomains otherwise I would have cleaned the lot of all cheap sales.

It is a bet for sure like any investment. No guarantee of return. I do not gamble much but this is one I feel good about it.

I hope these posts will be available to read in 2020 and I will be happy to admit if I was a fool.

Snoopy has been blabbering about buyout brakdown for quite sometime now, so it aint really a prediction and he just disappears when there are handful of good sales posted in this thread. Why? because he has nothing to say about them, and all he yaps about is lower end LLLL,com's held by quick flippers who dont have too much of liquid in their paypal or bank account to support renewals. So what they end up doing is sell 'em cheap on ebay or forums, otherwise just let 'em go and someone else picks 'em..

He doesn't say much about the buyout because he thought it would have failed back in November. As long as other registrars are buying them, we won't see a failure anytime soon.
