People are mixing in pronounceable and brandable 4 letters, like HULU versus random letters like HTRW with no meaning or acronym

This is more about what the lowest floor price average is for the worst 4 letter .com is right now.

These domains are typically only sold to other domainers as they don't have an end user use.

But because of their scarcity (456K with many websites in use) they are bought and sold, similar to a rare baseball card, coin or stamp.

Buying them and thinking you can resell them for a profit in 2 years is a bit of a gamble as you would be spending ~$20 to renew over that period.

I was buying LLL.com's in the early 2000's when the floor price was around $200 and now the floor price is around $18,000 or so. Obviously there are less 3 letter combinations then 4 letter, but there is still big potential for growth in the coming years for 4 letters, which all depends on future trends in domain and URL redirection with emerging tech

CVCV = An LLLL.com that follows a Consonant, Vowel, Consonant, Vowel Pattern.
VCVC = An LLLL.com that follows a Vowel, Consonant, Vowel, Consonant Pattern.
Triple Letter = 3 of the same letter in the same LLLL.com. An example of this is : LLLX.com.
Quad premium = 4 Premium Letters. Basically, 4 letters of which none consist of J,K,Q,U,V,W,X,Y,Z.
Triple premium = 3 Premium Letters.
Semi-Premium = When used in an LLLL.com context, generally used to denote an LLLL.com with 3 premium letters and one lesser quality letter (J,K,U,V,W,Y). Also used to denote a single letter which is of lesser quality (J,K,U,V,W,Y).
Double Premium = 2 Premium Letters.
Anti-Premium (also called Non-Premium) = 1 or less Premium Letters. Sometimes used to denote excessively bad combinations.

Cheers

Hi

don't give the "premium letter vs non premium letter" thingy, too much weight.

it all depends on the placement of them, within the domain.

imo...

A lot of that whole premium CHIPS stuff is BS and part of a big pump and dump scam around 2015. An "anonymous" group bought up many of these so called "CHIP" domains in COM/NET/ORG and then botted and spammed marketplaces with new accounts, creating fake demand for the domains and sold of thousands of their own domains.

Perhaps you are overpaying?

Wholesale prices have went from $100 doubled to $200:
Check out this slick primer and my favorite LLLL.com wholesale source; NP is still cheaper:

Recall, there are only 456,976 LLLL.com (no -,#) all taken since 2013: My favorite niche; so versatile; acronyms (ibkr.com) to pronounceable ebay; words: Nuts, chill etc..

Dude, how many more times must you parrot this response, till the end of time?

Anyway, I am sure @biggie is well aware of the so-called "CHIP" period, which was a whole lot more nuanced than you seem to recollect it as.

It‘s industry created and a straight up industry hoax at this point. Haven’t seen any huge sales of these so called “premium“ four letters in the entire time I have been doing this.

The ones that do sell with any regularity for high amounts are cvcv and/or highly pronounceable. But by all means keep trading the same garbage back and forth. I won’t stop you.

I am noticing the prices for 4 letter dot com names are going down since last fifteen days. Random nmes are disdained to sell for $100 each.

Still CVCV names are getting higher prices. But supplies are very limited.

I was looking for cheaper names at NamePros, Namejet, DropCatch, Godaddy Marketplaces/Auctions, nowhere they are available for $100.

What should be our strategy? Should we sell them at such lower prices or hold them till we get a fair price? Till recently we used to sell a random 4 letter name with J and Q for $150, but now it is $100.

Please share your valuable thoughts.
