Comparative values for short dictionary word domains - .com v/s ccTLDs


Dictionary LLLL.com are worth $xxx,xxx or at least the last few sales I've seen have been pretty high.

Do you think this desirability will translate in dictionary word ccTLDs?

I'm only talking about major ccTLDs here, like .de .co.uk .in .ca .com.au etc, not the exotic ccTLDs.

I have a lot of dictionary llll.in for example, while people are happy to pay $xxx for random premium LLLL.com, I'm finding it tough to sell these for even reg fee.

Should I hold them long term?

What do you think the outlook for such domains is in the future?

noy.com has a spectacular aura aboutnoy.com has a spectacular aura about
 



.com dictionary word owners had to hold to it for 10-15 years to see those kind of numbers.

I assume .in could see fraction of those prices in 5-10 years. End-user aquired share of words should get more saturated and penetration of inet in India has to increase.

I would just hold to them for few years and wait.

Thanks noy.com, makes sense.

I sold a few at a loss and am keeping the best for long term.

But I would really appreciate the input of others, specially now that a lot of new TLDs are too be launched, will a surfeit of LLLL.tld affect the long term return of LLLL.ccTLD - something .com didn't have to face at all.
