LLLLL.com (5 Letter) Sales and discussion thread

[GlobalDomainer]

Hi guys,

Like anyone of you, I am always searching for new trends. For the last 18 months I went really deep into the LLLL. I placed my bets, and now only have to wait for all them 4 letters to be :sold:

So I was thinking. What would be a nice new niche for me to get into? My answer after some thinking and testing is actually quite simple. I decided to invest in quality LLLLL coms. I know I know, it is not actually a new trend and not really a niche. But I tell you, these 5 letter domains can become big business in some time :imho:

Why? Because quality 5 letter domains are extremely brandable. Lots of startups there looking for a brandable short name, especially the web 2.0 based ones. Quality 5 letter domains generate also natural type in traffic as I experienced myself. And ofcourse, it is dotcom based, the only safe bet you can make I believe.

I also believe that not all 5 letter dotcoms will be sold shortly, maybe they will never be. You really need to have quality names. But that is also a question I have for you. What is a quality name in this niche?

So maybe we can make this thread a bit sticky and share thoughts and experiences in developing this part of the domain market.

Oh yeah, just to share this with you. I recently acquired sygar, lyned, jebia, sebod, pifab, pobit, samau and penep.

Abusu.com......
An italian word--- it means abuse

What do you think??

I think when you are looking at a question like this you have to take each 5l.com on there own merit, ie. spelling, look, pronouncability, brandability and to some degree how you and others feel when you see it for the first time.

I dont thing when your looking at these types of domain (5l.com, and there are a lot of them) 1 or 2 syllables really matter over the points raised above.

just to compare i have about 10 5l.com and only one of them is 1 syllable (heurs) and the rest are 2 syllables (vorra,yazza,nolla,exize,teero, etc) so maybe 1 syllable are rarer, but I would not invest in the soley for that reason.

would you say a 1 syllable word is generally better than a 2 syllable word

thats presuming they both brandable

Just sold just-reged Clymo.com for $500 through private sale.
Not bad, huh?

Congratulations! Awesome sale! The most I've sold a random 5L.com for is $500 but had to wait a few months from registration and sold through Afternic so lost $60 in commission.

great sale congrats

Great sale! Congrats Zuve. Its not one that I'd consider to have value from first impression but obviously it does to someone. Must be more to it than meets the eye.

Well done.

Congrats! nice sale.

Thanks, guys! It was my highest income from LLLLL.com. I have sold many such domains, but only gave me 20-30 bucks. The Clymo.com sale proves that good LLLLL.com could be more profitable than bad LLLL.com...

Some impressive sales again - just a very rough count shows that Sedo Namejet and Snapnames seem to be the most popular places - very few from AFternic

Raredn - just seen your reply to my comment - my 5Ls are in my sig now - I did try to sell Maveq a few months back on Ebay but got no takers
