Just go to namebio and for the pattern put llll and then select .COM, see the average sales there, you only selected the top few names, check DNJournal as well

Here are some of the others, some with a lot better letters than the OP's name, its not all about being pronounceable with these names, if the letters are good, then there are plenty of acronyms for the name

You are comparing pears with apples Giles.
CVCV and CVCV containing Y is what you have to look for not whatsoever LLLL. This is not an acronym as I have already clarified in a previous comment.

Definitely it is a brandable DN with low $xxx in reseller mrkt n high $xxx to low $xxxx to an end user.
The problem with jyvi is that we relate it to jive, and when spelling the former we try derive the letters from the latter. And most of us mostly do this unconsciously specially when we know the word to which it relates to.
On first attempt most of the time it will not pass the radio test.
good luck to @bigg01 for a high ROI on this one.

You are correct. This will not part the radio test for the simple reason that the letter 'y' cannot act as vowel in this instant case.

J, Y and V are 3 of worst letters you can have so it doesn't matter how you look at it, people must stop comparing them so literally, CVCV, VCCV or CVCV etc etc

look at the name?
How does it sound?
How does it look?
Is it pronounceable?
Is it brandable?
Does it pass the radio test?
Are they good letter?
Are there plenty of acronyms?

Good letter LLL.com names that are not pronounceable will sell for more than crappy letters than are hardly pronounce, a name like JAXO, sure it has J and X but sounds great, JYVI, not so much and we'll see that when it sells again

Whatever Giles, whatever. You always want to be right. I just wonder how many lllls you own, have traded and sold recently.

Hello guys

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I am based outside US and we had night here

Thanks for all the replies, but am sory that it caused so many arguments. On the other hand, this is for sure most active thread I ever had

I had the same concerns on my mind (eg the letters, pronounciation, the Y on the second place etc) but when I seen the price I just went for it, because I believe there is some ROi for me to be made. I learned a lot from your replies and will now watch letter popularity bit more.

In first step I am submitting it to brandbucket, see if it will get accepted. My main aim is to sell to end user.

I will update this thread if it sells and for how much.

Thanks for all your replied once again

Sorry to disagree with you but Y is a vowel in many languages, this LLLL is fully pronounceable and brandable;
it also passes the radio test as it can be guessed at the second or third attempt.

Surely every person has a different feeling about a domain name but previous sales ( especially very recent ones ) are a good compass to understand how the market is going. The market has been going up for months and proof is that 3/4 of the threads in the wtb section are for lllls.

In this case the fact that there are less premium letters in the domain doesn't really count as much as in the acronyms because of the type of domain ( see sales like wuxo, zylo, qiro etc ). And for all those who keep saying that the value is xx to low xxx, I ask you please to send me your list of lllls ( like this one ) and I will be happy to take that heavy load from your shoulders for a fair reseller price of 50$

I disagree with you too. I am not speaking in a biased way but telling the truth, what i saw practicesed in domain reseller market. "Y" in second position is not considered as a vowel. You can conduct a radio test to find out the truth.

forge said:

You are mistaken. I suppose then "byte" is a CCCV? Of course it isn't. Jyvi is a CVCV.

Click to expand...

I am not mistaken but I am telling what I have read and learnt. How about IYVA.com or QYDI.com. Are they CVCV? The fact is that 'Y' can't act as a vowel all the time, at least when Englis language is concerned.
Thanks.

See what you started!

Yeah, sorry

W can also be a vowel.

I agree, but not only that, if you look at most of these domains, these prices are also driven higher by the Chinese market. Mostly CCCC minus V. Without the Chinese market, these prices would probably be significantly lower.

It appears that the name used to belong to these guys in Costa Rica

Definitely worth sending an email!
They may pay more than domainer market value of high $xx to low $xxx

and it makes VOWEL a CVVVC

low xxx mid if lucky and I put my money where my mouth is, I would buy this for probably $155 but I stopped taking crazy chances 10 years ago. I can absorb the risk in however the wind blows. But I don't appraise without an explanation. Here's my personal reason.

It's a risky investment. What you may have paid for it has no bearing on value. That's why domains sell all the time for less then what owner paid for it. The only good letter in the domain is "I" and even that is not as preferable a letter in terms of what sells as you may think. (Yes I've analyzed 2-4 letter domains down to single letters, frequency, price range etc). And don't put so much attention on "reported sales". Drop auctions almost always sell for higher then market value and some sales are just fake to prop-up segments. Do you think you were the ONLY domainer monitoring this name and pushed buy and they decided it was not worth even $110+ $1 extra dollar?

Just from saying the domain causes confusion to spelling. Is it Jivee, JYV, Jyvee, jivE, Jayvee, JieVe, JivE, JyVie you get the picture. If you have to spell out the name for someone EVERYTIME you tell it to them, value goes down considerably. It takes money to brand names like this and it's extra work which detracts from perceived value and focusing on product and/or services rather then marketing resources.

Another test is if the first 3 letters bring up crappy non-competitive google results- leave it alone.

This post is simply meant to offer my advice. Sure you may sale it for a lot more, I hope you do. But if you are a gambling man and this is texas hold-em poker- you have a 2-7 (offsuit) hoping for a 7-7-2 flop.

Best fortunes,

James

Whatever Giles, whatever. You always want to be right. I just wonder how many lllls you own, have traded and sold recently.

quite a few actually and yourself..relax buddy...Just a but of banter with people having their own opinions...it all helps the OP in the end

Yes opinions help, but related recent sales help even more.

They sure were, but as a mentioned before you can't simply take all the llll sales. This is a specific llll a CVCV or a CVCV containing a Y that is what it has to be compared with. Pears with pears , apples with apples.

So the sales I posted were relevant as they were all CVCV or CVCV with a Y; yours weren't. It is really that simple and I won't explain it any further.

No problem, the names you posted were far superior, hence the higher price, we will just agree to disagree

Here is a link with some extra info from llllsales site, filtered to reflect CVCV structure with "y" in 2nd and "i" in 4th position:

$140 - $160 tops IMHO. Impossible to predict end user value....
