LLLL.com evaluation thread

[italiandragon]

While the last LLLL.com are taken (you can check www.dyyo.com to know how many are left) , I really feel the need to have a sort of 4L price guide on the same sort of the 3L/ 3 chars price guide.

I asked to people to create a database of LLLL.com sales but it seems no one can do it so I`m going to create it myself as much as I can on just a forum thread. If I knew how to create a database I was doing it.

Keep in mind that this thread is still in the early stage and I`ll update it as much as I can. I will update this first post so it will be easier for everyone to know what`s going on in the LLLL.com aftermarket. It is going to take me a lot of my spare time but I hope that eventually soon , someone will create a software that will run by itself Till then , let`s hope I can have time!

So, just for the newbies , let`s see what we already know about the 3 chars.com price guide:

"The quality of the letter composition can play a significant role in determining 3-letter valuations. General concensus states that the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T are considered premium letters. Other lesser high quality letters include: J, K, U, V, W. Lower quality letters include: Q, X, Y, Z. Domains selling for less than the above figures would represent a strong buy in today's market. Premium letter only domains tend to fetch a 500% to 600% premium (or more) over the Minimum Wholesale Price. Mixed letter quality domains have valuations somewhere in the middle of these two extremes."


I think we could adjust the same rules to the LLLL.com

Let`s play a little bit with the letters to find out what are the minimun reseller prices as for now , end of September 2007 (NOTE: THIS FIRST THREAD IS CONSTANTLY UPDATED WITH THE NEW INFO HIGHLIGHTED IN RED)

Obviously we should analyse in this thread ONLY the NON pronunciable ones to consider ONLY the quality of letters, so not even a very well known acronym but only 4 random letters.

For the "other" LLLL.com sales and evaluations based on pronunciability , then you may find useful this other thread:

http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/358387-the-llll-com-sales-report-thread.html

I`ll start with my opinion but feel free to add yours so we can get to a sort of price guide.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

A LLLL.com including 2 or more of "Q, X, Y, Z" (as long as they are not 2 of the same) I`d say less no more than $10 since there are still 12,000 of them left.

EXAMPLE: GXZH.com (no more than $10)

There is one example of these ones right now on ebay, ending in less than 3 hours:

http://cgi.ebay.com/hzxv-com-Origin...ryZ11153QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


Obviously even with 2 "bad letters" , when they start to be pronunciable this is what happens:

ZAYM.com $201

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=300162205723&category0=&fvi=1

Double letters such as:

GXXH.com
ZZDC.com
FYYT.com
DRQQ.com

I`d appraise them at minimun $20-$30 depending on the letters. Double but not consecutives letters would just be below the above ones.


XSXT.com $20.50

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=170160241510&category0=&fvi=1



Triple bad letters such as:

QQQD.com
FZZZ.com
RXXX.com
YYYG.com

I`d appraise them at minimun $70-$100 depending on the letters.


Then we may analyse the ones with only 1 bad letter (always Q, X, Y, Z):

FGZS.com
EYDF.com
PXSE.com
TFQG.com

These kind of LLLL .com are still available so reg fee to $10 , must be for them.


UPDATED:

SOME AUCTIONS ON EBAY ARE GETTING ABOVE $10:


http://cgi.ebay.com/ZWTO-com-4-Lett...ryZ11153QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com/FGXR-com-4-Lett...ryZ11153QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

UPDATE 13 OCTOBER: ON EBAY PRICES ARE CONSTANTLY ABOVE $10 FOR LLLL WITH JUST 1 BAD LETTER , SOMETIMES ABOVE $20 TOO.

ZATB.com $12.49

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=270170293855&category0=&fvi=1

RLYN.com $36

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=200159375608&category0=&fvi=1


RBYK.com $29.99

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=200163278990&category0=&fvi=1


HRHY.com $30.80

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=300162203800&category0=&fvi=1


YATG.com $23.95

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=300162885146&category0=&fvi=1


a double letter with 1 bad letter :

IIZP.com $42

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=300161869692&category0=&fvi=1




---------------------------------------------------------------------
Then we have the ones which include the group "lesser high quality letters": J, K, U, V, W.

These ones have lately bought totally so the minimun reseller price must be above reg fee , let`s say $10 - $20 depending from the letters. Some people tend to include J, K and U in the premium letters. I`d definitely include the vowel U but I guess this is a personal point of view.
Even here at NP , LLLL including just the letter U tend to outperform this category:

FGUB.com $32 (October 2007)

http://www.namepros.com/domains-for-sale-auctions/383276-fgub-com-1-start-great-4letter.html

It may be also useful to consider that K and W were sold out earlier than J and V.



There is one example of these ones right now on ebay, ending in 3 hours:

http://cgi.ebay.com/UMGV-COM-4-Lett...ryZ11153QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


UPDATE 25 OCTOBER:

Things are getting hotter (at the moment less than 7000 LLLL are left) and U and this category is quickly raising its reselling value on EBAY:

DPTU.com $54.51 now

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=300162512206&category0=&fvi=1


RWEO.com $78.00

http://cgi.ebay.com/RWEO-com-LLLL-4...ryZ11153QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


The letter U and W obviously are not that bad

The letter V in Italian is very much used , while in China is not so a lot depends from your background.

J is not my favourite in this group (as in the Italian alphabet there is no J-K-W-X-Y ) but certainly is getting attention by someone else:

RCEJ.com $30

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=120172045546&category0=&fvi=1


Then we have 2 of the group J, K, U, V, W such as:

GJJA.com
FVVO.com
KKTR.com

I`d say $30 to $50 as they are all gone and the double letter will increase their rarity.


FNKK.com $52

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=300162204984&category0=&fvi=1

2 of them but not the same 2 (double) are less valuable:

http://cgi.ebay.com/VWTP-com-4-Lett...ryZ11153QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

VDUZ.com $26

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...from=R8&satitle=200159969339&category0=&fvi=1


WPEJ.com $23.15

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=200163499690&category0=&fvi=1


With 3 of them , like :

GJJJ.com
FVVV.com
KKKT.com

I`d say $100 -$150

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Then we have the best of the best: ALL PREMIUM letters:


A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T



Names like CLFO.com or FGTR.com or ATFI.com are going to get $$$.

I can`t find any of these LLLL.com for less than $100 , sometimes not even $200 buy them.
So I`d say a really minimun of $100 to easily $200 each.
At places like Snapnames.com, the all premium letters even if they are non pronunciables , are going already for above $400 and the market is getting hotter day by day.

If the name appears to have 2 of a kind like:

SSFO.com or GBBT.com then we should be at minimun $200 to $300

3 of a kind such DDDF.com or TLLL.com will get over $300 to $500

SPECIALS​

Anything like this is an added value.

In my daily observation of LLLL.com sales I noticed that any of the following abbreviations and/or suffixes are more valuable:

- IT (Information Tecnology or Italy)

- MY

Examples:

IMYO.com $449

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...from=R8&satitle=300158326938&category0=&fvi=1

BMMY.com $350

http://sedo.com/auction/auction_detail.php?language=us&auction_id=18688&tracked=&partnerid=


HFMY.com $37.50

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=300162885558&category0=&fvi=1


- UK

UKIX.com ended on TDNAM.com @ $146

- DE

- US

- CA

- OZ (Australia)

- NZ (new Zealand)

- GO

- HI

Examples:

HIXV.com $59 (October 2007)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...from=R8&satitle=120169750537&category0=&fvi=1

- OK

- KG

- CV (Curriculum Vitae)

- DR (Doctor)

- DJ

Examples:

DJBX.com $45 (October 2007)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=170158507650&category0=&fvi=1


And more that I`ll add as soon as I can think of them!

Also,some letters add value because of their very common use.

The letter E , I and O add value usually because can mean E-lectronic , I-nternet and O-nline.

Other nice letters are:

C for Corporation or Company , L for Limited , A for Association.

The best positions are usually in the first or in the 4th spot depending from the letter. For example E will be better in the first spot while L for Limited will be better in the 4th spot but all of these letters can add value.


Other special categories that attract a bonus are based on the numbers of vowels.
There are only 5 vowels so the LLLL.com with 4 vowels are extremely rare and even the ones with 3 vowels perform very well as their demand is high.

Some recent examples:

OEOV.com $56

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=110183807446&category0=&fvi=1


EOAJ.com $52

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=110183814160&category0=&fvi=1

CVCV & VCVC​

Let`s start from the TOP this time:

CVCV.com

all premium letters Like BIFE.com or DAGO.com

minimun......well here it is hard since prices increase quickly ....maybe $1,500 ?


CVCV.com with 1 bad letter like BIZE or DAQO.com about $800

CVCV.com with 1 bad and 1 average letters like NUQE.com or VAXO.com about $500

CVCV.com with 1 bad and 2 average letters like WUQA.com or ZOVU.com

about $300

It was right WUQA.com that made me realize that I forgot the 1 bad + 2 average ones. People reported that WUQA.com ended on TDNAM.com at $315 (end of October)

CVCV.com with 2 bad letters like QEZI.com or ZIXO.com about $400

CVCV.com with 2 bad letters and 1 average letter like QUZI.com or ZUXO.com about $300

CVCV.com with 2 bad and 2 average letters (MUST BE DOUBLE U) like QUZU.com or ZUXU.com about 300



Now let`s see the VCVC.com

all premium letters Like IFEB.com or AGOC.com about $1,000 ?

VCVC.com with 1 bad letter like IZEB or AQOC.com about $500

VCVC.com with 1 bad and 1 average letters like OZUD.com or AXUF.com about $300 - $350 (I sold OZUD.com on SEDO in August for $330)

VCVC.com with 2 bad letters like AXEZ.com or IQOX.com about $200

VCVC.com with 2 bad letters and 1 average letter like UXEZ.com or UXOQ.com about $100

VCVC.com with 2 bad and 2 average letters (MUST BE DOUBLE U) like UZUQ.com or UXUZ.com about 100



I`m currently taking input on the CVCV and the VCVC where Y is the last vowel.

The first recent example is this one:

OGYZ.com $57.99

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=200157925898&category0=&fvi=1


I leave the CVVC and VCCV to others as I did not have much experience with them yet.


SALES OF RANDOM (NON PRONUNCIABLE) LLLL.COM AT OTHER VENUES:

SEDO.com​

Interesting Sedo Auctions show many crappy LLLL.com with bids

UPDATE: CHECK THE AUCTIONS BELOW THAT ARE NOW ALL ENDED....PRICES ARE GETTING SHOCKING!

Are we already starting to see a minimun price of $100 for each LLLL.com ?


Please share your opinions on the one of the hottest niches of the domain market

Thank you

 

[TomB]

Sure would.

 

[disarmed]

I dunno about you guys but I have noticed that LLLL.coms aren't selling as quickly as they did a couple of weeks back in Namepros. I have a feeling that prices may actually start to become stagnant soon as buyers are realizing that prices are getting a little out of hand... I know Snapnames, Sedo and TDNAM prices are rising but I just have this gut feeling that prices aren't gonna rise as sharply as they did anymore..

What do you guys think?

ernest

 

[mwzd]

I have a feeling that prices may actually start to become stagnant...

What do you guys think?

Yep.

It ain't easy to sell right now.

Though sales numbers are still a ton more than normally.

 

[-REECE-]

I've been noticing that as well ernest, but have a different explanation for it: quad premium LLLL.net buyout.

I expect things to radically improve in the LLLL.com camp in 2-3 weeks as LLLL.net prices stabilize a bit and hype (not trying to offend anyone here, just mean it as per one of it's dictionary definitions: "Excessive publicity and the ensuing commotion" [www.answers.com/hype ] dies down.

Almost 20,000 quad premium LLLL.nets have been purchased in the last few weeks... That's over $100k taken out of what most likely would have fallen largely into the LLLL.com camp.

This may explain that prices continue to raise on other venues than forums, because NP'ers made the LLLL buyout, and they felt it on their pockets.

Anyway, tonight or tomorrow I'll test the forum waters with a nice LLLL megasale to see if it is true or not

Agreed. The focus has certainly been on LLLL.net market. You can see that just by looking at the activity of the .net thread in comparrison to the .com threads on the same subject. It will eventually level out in a few weeks time as Reece says.

[jido]

Heh heh that is why I am looking to sell some LLLL.com.... What do we buy LLLL.net with?

On the other hand if there are more sellers than buyers... Economy 101: prices go down, bargains to be done on LLLL.com!!

 

[italiandragon]

There are other forums active on LLLL.com , one in Netherlands and one is Lithuania just to name 2 that send visitors to my blog.

 

[Shenron]

I agree with Reece here, a lot of money went to the .NET side of the field, so .COM had to take a step back... well, maybe aside is more the case.

In any way there's another thing that slowed down the prices imho, and that is "Flippers Greed"

Some of the quick Flippers decided to start trying to sell every single crap for $80+ and somethimes $120+ , now the problem here is that most of buyers (me included) started to refuse those offers and they ended up with a portfolio full of s*it that they have to dump now for little or no profit if they need the money fast, else they have to wait for the market to grow and earn their easy/quick cash in 3 months+, so not that quick...

People are starting to notice quality and names like KXQW (random letters here) are not worth $80 or $90... yet!

So, let's just calm down, there are still a lot of months before renewals start to happen, so hold your breath and hold your LLLL's...

If it was THAT EASY then none of us would ever buy any of those... Donald Trump would just buy them all... :D Let the market flow!

After 14 or 15 years in the stock market I have learned a lot of stuff... I leave you with a couple thoughts that I like a lot:

The market is always right.

and

Sometimes it is so obvious it is obviously not.

 

[KingDon]

People went for the cream of the crop with llll.net's, and now that they're all gone, the LLLL after market is now set to move forward. This is what happened with the LLL's, and history has once again repeated itself.

Consider this your calm before the storm. You can't go wrong with a LLLL.com, and the worthy LLLL.net's have all be taken. Most people are missing the big picture, that great LLLL.coms are approaching the sales price of bad LLL's.

Don't put to much weight on what the bad letter combinations are selling for, that's just one area of the picture. When we judge the entire spectrum of names being sold, things are looking exactly like the LLL buyout.

Now that the cream of the LLLL.nets has been bought out, the market will sell until LLLL's reach the hands of long term investors; and there are more of us now than ever before. Then you'll see the prices skyrocket.

 

[italiandragon]

oh dear...do you guys expect to double the money EVERY WEEK in here?

Give me a break.....talk to the LLL.com holders who need to wait 1 full year to achieve that.

 

[champ_rock]

Do u guys notice that the prices of crap domains rising (from reg-fee to 50-60$) and for premium domains to only rise very less (1.5-2times at max?)

Atleast according to me crappy domains are rising faster than good domains

 

[-REECE-]

Exactly.

I've bought 4 quad premium LLLL.coms for $1k+ this week alone... None of them are CVCV/VCVC (well, VUFE was a CVCV, but it wasn't 1k+ :hehe: ).

I'm of the opinion that many quad premiums (with extremely strong acronyms and lots of them) will be worth more than bad LLL.coms within 2-3 years. And I'm not just talking about the obvious A+ CVCVs already fetching 2/3 of what an LLL.com fetches!

Is something like SEOH.com (search engine optimization help; not mine) not a better fit for many potential endusers than QYV.com?

I see names like QYV much like how many people here see anti-premiums... They're of limited appeal to the large majority of the world and quite honestly, I'd much rather have 100 of Filter's names than 1 of these names which is pretty much equally bad according to Google results and acronym finder. I can't think of an acronym for QYV "on the spot" either...

Most people are missing the big picture, that great LLLL.coms are approaching the sales price of bad LLL's.
Don't put to much weight on what the bad letter combinations are selling for, that's just one area of the picture. When we judge the entire spectrum of names being sold, things are looking exactly like the LLL buyout.

 

[Alex]

I expect the LLLL market will grow about 150% - 200% more in a month or so, and then it will stabilize, and will see the growth of LLL's, maybe a bit more.

Still a good buying season, and I think LLLL's are still a good buy rather than a good sell.

Today, I started a sale, but I look only into selling about 20 LLLL's out of 100 listed for sale, just because I want to make other purchases (need of liquidity).

I think this sales thread will be a good gauge to evaluate LLLL.com selling prices in Namepros. The prices are generally what the market rate is right now. Hopefully people will start lapping it up although the lack of paypal payment option may affect sales.

Hopefully the results will be good for me and for the buyers too. If not, I will go the alternative ways and I will get these prices over at other marketplaces.

Anyway, looking to expand my premium LLLL portfolio, and just need some funds. You won't see my premiums for sale soon.

Atleast according to me crappy domains are rising faster than good domains

that`s why I went "on quantity" , call me Billy but not silly

The bottom was too much underpriced.

while Premiums were already at $200

so worst ones gained x10 times while Premium just doubled or tripled so far

 

[Shenron]

Agree 100% with you Lorenzo... until now, as I think now the game will change.
People are just tired of paying large sums for crappy domains and prefer strong quality assets.

 

[Ross]

The crappy ones will level out around $100 and then eventually lose some value. IMO

 

[bro]

The crappy ones will level out around $100 and then eventually lose some value. IMO

I agree, thats why I have sold most of crappy ones to the latecomers in this niche, and having better domains for long term. :tu: quality over quantity

 

[rjs_essex]

There are other forums active on LLLL.com , one in Netherlands and one is Lithuania just to name 2 that send visitors to my blog.

I've had the same - some crazy traffic from sites all over the world in all sorts of languages to my blog (going global)... I just wish I knew what they are saying!

[vlad74]

Some thoughts on current and future market of LLLL.com.

LLLL.com rose from $7 to $70 in 3 months. Why don't you think they can continue to rise? Currently there was a premium LLLL.net buyout (Feb 1-5) plus the Chineese New Year (Feb 7). Still, the prices are strong, see TDNAM sales of last few days!

With all premium LLLL.net bought out, premium LLLL.com will rise even more strongly, to the level of unpremium LLL.com (as Reece said before). The result - this will drag the whole LLLL.com market upwards.

800

what would you say if you look at this number? Price of a premium at the end of the year? No, it will be the price of normal (semi/tripple premium) LLLL.com in just 10-12 months.

$800 for a standard LLLL.com. Does it sound exaggerated? No, it is another 10 times rise we expreienced in last 3 months.

If you look at the capitalisation of the LLLL.com (4L) market, it is less than capitalisation of LLL.com (3L) market. Stil, with more domains, and more participants, this market is much more liquid and is attracting and will attract more money, from students to bankers, from private persons to large fonds (I saw some fonds investing in LLLL.com already, see for example hamidicapital.com (xdcz.com, etc).

And people will only continue to put money in LLLL market. It is global, it is not depending on only one country which may fall into resession. and it is .com. There are almost no barriers to entry, you can start trading with low amounts, you do not have to register a company, employ people, learn programming, choose design, pass exams, etc.

Previously the domain market was not really standartised. What is the price of domainwasteland.com or hotnewthreads.com (names being auctioned now). With LLL.com/net some standards arise, but the number of LLL domains was unsufficient to create a functioning market with good liquidity.

With LLLL (.com, .net) we have functioning market, with standartised prices for domains (CVCV, VCVC, Premium, tripple+w, tripple +q, antipremium, etc, every category having its current market price). Easy to evaluate, easy to monitor, easy to sell. Easy to arbitrage (thats what flippers do :hehe: ).

Exactly that caused great rise in LLLL.com prices, not the hype but the possibility to have a commodity which is possible to trade! Oil exchanges function perfectly, with different types of oil (similar to LLLL.com) being traded. You do not have any real exchanges for diamonds (similar to LLL.com) or ships (other domains).

Thus more and more money will come to this business lifting prices up dramatically. LLLL.com will be the first choice, LLLL.net will follow (at a 5-10% of .com). But it will be a substantial, steep, dramatic rise.

And I will not be surprised to see a $800 price for any LLLL.com quite soon. Not at all.

P.S. I am selling my LHNP.com+LHNP.net for $800 now. Why, it shall go to $x,xxx soon? Simple, I need to get funds to buy another premium LLLL.com, which has more value for me. I will tell you the name of that one in few days, irrespective if I buy it ir not.

Agree 100% with you Lorenzo... until now, as I think now the game will change.
People are just tired of paying large sums for crappy domains and prefer strong quality assets.

I disagree, simply because what may be crappy in a language, it may be GOLD in another one.

The crappy ones will level out around $100 and then eventually lose some value. IMO

I have to disagree with you here. Even the crappy one will never lose value. Simply because, the more value a domain attains, the more difficult to sell them. If some thing over $200, we cant risk to use paypal nor worthy escrow. so until $200 is reached for crappy, there will not be any losing in value.
