Seems like you're the only one who updates this gladdy. Is there a real slow down in the LLL market?

Give it a month or two and there won't be any more LLL.com sales below $4k.

I see the opposite trend. Give it another year or two and you might not see that many above $4k. IMO.

I agree with stian on this one, but I think it's pointless to explain why as every capable investor can see the potential of these type of domains.

I'm sure even snoop invested in them in the past

He just sold one of the best kind at the wrong time, as the predictions were that it's just the beginning of the downhill... Apparently it wasn't the case.

If "every capable investor" could see the potential of these they wouldn't have fallen 60% in the last couple of years. Secondly whether someone has owned something in the past does not of itself give any credibility to their opinion.

Thirdly it is folly to think these can go only go in one direction in my view, I think some still have not learnt from the mistakes of the past. Now if you have good reasons for believing they will rise I would say good luck, it is a long way from being a certain bet. People like to constantly say these are about to rise I think mainly because they own these names themselves, in reality they "hope" they will rise.

Personally I have no idea where these names are headed and I wouldn't buy any myself, it is just a gamble (imo) but to suggest every capable investor thinks these are a good investment, that is just kidding yourself.

Are you talking about me or someone else?

Personally I was telling people on forums I thought the market would crash when the minimum was over $7000, I sold 12 names and told people to avoid this market like the plague whilst selling. Lost money on one name out of 12 (sold too slowly on the last one). I'm happy with how LLL.com played out for me but I'm not exuberant about its future. It is different times.

A couple of years after the crash and the minimum is still barely better @ $3500 that is sad for those who have stuck with it.

A maximum price of $4000 per LLL.com domain in 2 years time, as microguy suggests, is not realistic, I'm sure you will have to agree on that.

Indeed. Also, the whole point of domaining is that there is no such thing as a "maximum price" for any domain name.

That is very different to what Microguy actually said,

"I see the opposite trend. Give it another year or two and you might not see that many above $4k. IMO."

The chinese whisper has well and truly started, as each comment progresses we are arguing more about something that was never even said.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=429599

Original comment. "I see the opposite trend. Give it another year or two and you might not see that many above $4k. IMO."

First whisper. "I see the opposite trend. Give it another year or two and you might see the maximum value as $4k. IMO."
Second whisper. "I see the opposite trend. Give it another year or two and you will see the maximum value as $4k. IMO."
Third whisper. "I see the opposite trend. Give it another year or two and you will see the maximum value as under $4k. IMO."

*We are at this point now*

Forth whisper. "I see the opposite trend. Give it another year or two and you will see the maximum value as under $1000. IMO."
Fifth whisper. "I see the opposite trend. Give it another month or two and you will see the maximum value as under $50. IMO."
Sixth whisper. "The maximum value is under $5."

There's no business like showbusiness :-)

People focusing on the low $xxxx side of the LLL.com world are really missing the boat.

[cache]

the low side is really the minimum price. That makes LLL very liquid, no domain category except the short domains can have a min price attacked to it. That makes short domains very unique.

Very true. Easy to trade in an out for the low quality combos.

An urban myth. Just sold a LLL.com domain starting with "X" and no vowels for $12k.

In not saying they can't be sold for more, I'm saying they are very easy to trade in and out of. No vowels doesn't of itself mean low quality though, neither does having x in it mean low quality.

As far as random low quality stuff like, xfq.com type names, I've never had interest beyond domainers so I don't think the odds are great of this type of sale at prices beyond what a domainers would pay. Rarely do strong sales for this type of name get reported either. It's all about odds, that is why domainers will pay significantly higher prices for quality combo's.

[Acroplex]

But you don't have to sell cheap, that's my point. If you offer me, for example, $3k for an LLL .com I will not sell. The entire concept of LLL .com domains being sold over and over among reseller domainers is flawed.

That doesn't mean it is worth significantly more. You might eventually sell a low quality LLL.com for more, but the odds are not high in my view.

Not sure what you mean by "flawed", in a rising market people will generally make money doing that, during bad times they will lose money.
