3 letter .net

[forona]

I'm looking to buy a 3 letter domain to go w/ my site - the .com owners of it want 30k which is insane, but the .net guy will sell for $1k - I think that's a bit high for a 3 letter .net with letters don't mean much and has a Z in it.. what is a reasonable price for the domain?

I think if you pay anything over $200 in today's market, it's too much. Only buy it for more if you really want the specific name.

 

[1rrr1]

around $200

if its got value for your business name (zsn could meen nothing to someone else but be the initials of your business) then i guess its ok, $200 is if your buying the domain name just cause its there, dont go into the 3 digits, keep it mid $XXX maximum

I agree somewhat with the "around $200" mark. Some good letters will demand more. I have noticed that the bidding on the drops lately have been almost laughable. People are bidding $300+ on 3 letter .net domains I guess because they expect to get rich quick with one "big" sale.

Perhaps I'll offer a dissenting voice. I don't think that $1k is a bad price if it is a name you really need. Wholesale for 3-letter .net names is about $200 right now, but if you need it, you need it. The .com may be a little high at $30k, but to get what you need and only be out $1k, no biggie. Plenty of folks are paying that much or more for 3-letter .infos, .biz's and even .us's.

Just a thought,
Andrew

Thank you all for your quick and informative replies.. I agree 1k isn't a fortune for the domain, but it's more of a want than a need - it would just be cool. It has no traffic, no meaning, not much of anything special.. I can afford the $1k, it's just the principle of it all I'll try a counter-offer.

good luck with the counter offer, try to get mid $xxx atleast, and a 3 letter .net is great looking on a business card =)

try to start them at about $200 and push them to $500 then say.. 'this is the maximum i am paying'

and if they dont accept that.... then theres not much you can do....

 

[selfmindead]

if you want a much cheaper name, ill sell you z29.net for $30

 

[monk666]

$150 Not more!

 

[selfmindead]

z29 doesnt have the initials to his business im guessing, the other one had a z in it, but I'm guessing if he was that interested it must have been exact initials.

if you want a much cheaper name, ill sell you z29.net for $30

it isn't three letter

 

[jeter4982]

it isn't three letter

o i thought it said 3 characters. sorry. i had namepros open in 2 windows, so i must have seen 3 char. in the other window

 

[selfmindead]

hehe good luck with it, be sure to come back here and tell us how it went, and how much you bought it for if you decided to after all =)

 

[IAmAllanShore]

If it's something like zet.net or zat.net or zuk.net or something that makes a "word" sounding noise. $1K ok

If it isn't, like HJL.net, not nearly as pricey. $XXX lowish ok.

Albeit, it does look good on a business card.

i guess it is sorta worth it if it goes with your site

All three-letter domain markets drastically changed when Elequa purchased every available 3-letter .info (then about 2,500), and .biz (then about 4,600). There is an incredible good article on it in www.Dnjournal.com archived at http://www.dnjournal.com/columns/cover030304.htm

Since then, 3 letters prices have gone uphill. Thus, I have to differ from a prior post in this thread. The value of a 3 letter .net that just happens to drop and is auctioned on pool is irrelevant to the value of a specific 3 letter .net needed by an end user. Look at some recent confirmed 3-letter sales indicated on Dnjournal.com:

SSM.com $145,000
FKK.de €40,000
Low.com $32,640
Gay.biz $9,500
HMS.info €9,280
NYC.biz $6,000
KFZ.info €4,000
ETC.info $4,000
BVV.info $1,500

What I think about the value of those sales doesn’t mean spit, because that’s the price of the ticket.

Good luck.

Well said, zesty. 3-letter .net costs as cheap as $200 between speculators only when the seller really needs the cash for something else. Otherwise, he'd be better off waiting (or looking) for an end-user willing to pay low four figures.

If you want a bargain, perhaps you can identify yourself as a reseller, and offer to trade him for another approximately nice 3-letter .net, plus a small $$ amount for the invonvenience.

Finding some other random 3-letter .net for $200 to $300 should be possible within this forum.

Good luck!
