My First 3 Letter Domain

DomainSlayer · 10-10-2005, 02:07 PM

Just bought this domain KFN.COM. My first purchase of a 3 letter domain. It use to be the Kid's Fashion Network and is also the ticker of a major financial company with a Market Cap. 1.726 Bil. Any suggestions or opinions about this domain?

FanCube · 10-10-2005, 02:26 PM

Very nice domain. Three letter .com´s are always very valuable and you even got one with a great letter combination. Congratulations with this one. How much did you pay for the domain?

martialtiger · 10-10-2005, 02:29 PM

Wow! Great catch man! Looks like it's dated all the way back to 1996 in archive.org. Great investment!

ryan2829 · 10-10-2005, 02:30 PM

Well done. Will you sell it?

Oblivion. · 10-10-2005, 02:32 PM

Do you mind saying how much you paid for it?

great investment as prices are going up

do you mind sharing what you paid for it?

IAmAllanShore · 10-10-2005, 03:08 PM

REIT's aren't incredibly consumer driven or anything, so they aren't too interested (typically) in catchy names. However, even if they were, they'd probably want KKR instead of their ticker.

I'm sure you've done this, but check out the international extensions with kfn and see if any look like they might want to expand out of their local region.

Aside from that, flip it.
Great name, and I'll echo everyone else's request to share the purchase price...

why not tell domainslayer what you think he should have paid for it!

DomainSlayer · 10-10-2005, 05:41 PM

I bought it around 1500-- I figured I'd hold on to it a while it sounded catchy like a radio station or something. I have it registered now for 5 years. We'll see what the future brings. I had to add a 3 char to my collection. Hopefully I'll be fortunate enough to buy some more a little cheaper and make some money off them in the future.

Dang! I can think of "Kentucky Fried Network" out of that name (and try to get PETA to buy it).

Very good catch, and at a steal of a price! Congrats!
