3 Character info site

[Chappy]

Hey
Anyone know of a good site which tracks 3 character values, recent sales, trends, etc? I already know of 3character.com but I think this site may be a little biased (as the owner deals heavily in 3chars).

Any others out there?

Thanks

A general price guide can be a good start but is in reality useless. The actually price will depend on the current marked and what end users and resellers are looking for at the time you what to sell. Keep instead an eye with the actually prices paid like here at the NP sales forums and other domain sale forums.

My fault, I didn't see that you already knew of that site. Yes, as FanCube said it is better to keep an eye on sales yourself. I do not know of any site or listing that has compiled a list of all recent 3char.info domains.

OK - maybe I'll set up my own site. Sounds like we need something other than 3character.com!

Well Matt neither Zesty or I deal mostly in 3 character I actually sold you the only 3 character I owned EB0.com Zesty put the pricing guide together which is in the process of being updated he has been busy and outside of ELEQUA I don't know too many on NAMEPROS that have the LLL.com sales and portfolio that he has. But if you need some help with your site let me know more than happy to help but like what someone else said it is only a gude and what an end user is willing to pay I just sold NJS.biz on SEDO for $500 but I don't think all LLL.biz worth $500 some a lot more some less without an end user. But no bias at 3 character.com

OK thanks - I retract my statement about bias and really find the site useful. I thought Zesty only dealt in 3 char - but I guess I was wrong. I just wanted to see if there were any other sites out there for a 'second opinion'.
Keep up the good work.

Hello Matt and all,

I appreciate the thread and thoughts.

I can assure you that, though equity78 and I enjoy 3 character domains (and my specific joy is 3-letter domains), we try to go out of our way to be unbiased on 3character.com.

I'll also mention that Ray and I get a lot of feedback on the price guide...and from both angles. Some say it's too low and some that the prices are too high. The price guide's numbers reflect the minimum prices being paid for various types of 3 letter domains as observed from recent sales data and market trends. I can assure you that most of the commentary we receive is that the prices listed are too low.

Further, Equity78 and I operate 3character.com as a fun site about our hobby that is hopefully informative to its visitors and accurate to the trends and marketplace.

Interestingly, I doubt either of us would sell domains from our own private collections for anything close to the price guide's minimum prices, but they do reflect minimum market prices (and that's whether we like the numbers or not, as our goal is to be accurate to the current marketplace).

In many ways we try to build on Duke's www.DNJournal.com site as our model, as his site is exceptional in detailing the growth in the broad domain marketplace. In likewise fashion, we cover the niche in 3 character domains. 3-character domains of all types have indeed grown in measurable value significantly over the last few years, and thus why recent reports on 3character.com reflect this trend. Thus our goal is not to influence pricing, but rather to report on them (be it increases in prices or decreases).

Finally, we always welcome commentary and hope the site invokes interest of all kinds (positive or negative) in 3 character domains. We'd welcome parallel sites about 3 character domains...the more the merrier. We're all learning here and the education never stops...and neither does the fun!

Thanks again for all of your commentaries!
Thank you,
zesty
