I've looked on the price guides and they aren't very clear.

What's an approx value for a trip premium and semi/bad LLLL.com?

I've looked on the price guides and they aren't very clear.

What's an approx value for a trip premium and semi/bad LLLL.com?

I've seen some sell as low as $60, and others ~$200+
The market is really crazy right now.

:imho:

Generally prices are in the 60-150 range with prices going as follows:

$60< Q < X/Z < J < K < Y < V < U/W < $150

Hopefully that's understandable... As in every bad/semi-premium containing triple premium has a minimum wholesale value of $60 with prices generally increasing towards $150 based on the letter pattern elucidated above.

E.G. much more likely that a triple premium + W fetches $150 than a triple premium + Q.

A rough guide to prices:

Q: $60
J/K: $80-$100
Y: $90-$120
V: $100-$120
U/W: $120+

There are particular instances where non-pronounceable (do note: that's all that should be considered with the above prices) triple premiums do not abide by the particular values, however by and large they do.

Don't forget that there are three other letters in there - stcw.com is loads better than hgfw.com. (don't tell me that all those blurry nights of trying to squeeze the best possible combos were wasted). There are also Google and (rarely) Overture scores, and acronym meaning. I passed on many LLLL that had 25K Google but all of it was for an obscure organic biology acronym.

Better than an even more obscure "inorganic" biology acronym, one might suppose ...

The "premium" letter analysis definitely is a shortcut to real study - but since that's what most resellers are doing when faced with a long list of line noise to make buy decisions on before someone else does ... then it takes on a life of its own.

I like anti-premiums (when they're nice and cheap at least) - but some letters I have a hard time with even just looking from an "abstract esthetics" point of view. What to do with K? Hope for a non-English speaking end user, or peg something around "Kids" or "Kit" or maybe "Kites" ... I dunno.

But I digress. Prices for triple premiums shouldn't go below $60 (probably closer to $80 now) no matter what. Unless you're buying serious bulk, or taking candy from a baby ...

so how much is it now the LLLL.com domain at minimum price? still at 40? or is it increased to 60 already?

 

[Shenron]

I'd say you'll have a hard time trying to find anything under $50 atm.

the price of LLLL.com increases like crazy huh>.< just around 1-2 week ago LLLL.com has minimum 40, now it reaches 50.....

reece shud have had a lot of money now haha, since he bought them for regfee~~ reg fee(at most 10 USD) to 40 dollar is 400% increase, now it touches 50, that means he make 500%, in fast time too.....>.<

I should have bought more LLLL:D

No, a week or two ago, the minimum price was hovering around $25 - $30.
Now, the minimum wholesale price is $40 even for a crappy LLLL.com

As long as it is locally grown and sustainably packaged.

The fine variations will become a lot more important I guess as prices rise beyond the bulk grab stage. Hope so, anyway. I put an hour on average into each choice I made. I would hate to think I could have done just as well, or better, by typing all the non- and semi-premiums except W and U into DYYO "exclude" and buying the lot.

What is this with "K"? K was the very first semi-premium to sell out as a worst letter (W and U were close behind).

Better hush or I'll awake the Dragon.....

opps

well even snapnames increase their price for LLLL.coms

 

[Basement]

Yeah SnapNames has increased the starting price to $100 and there's a rumour that TDNAM will follow.

I personally am overjoyed as I have got 10 or so premium domains which shall last me a long time (June at least :p)

I analyzed all possible recorded 2 letter acronyms from http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com e.g. EQ, ZQ, QZ, VN, NV, SV, SZ .... all possible!
Then I calculated which letters are most frequent in two-letter acronyms. Now the results:

W 2035 occurences
V 1879 occurences
U 1690 occurences
K 1275 occurences
J 1033 occurences
Q 716 occurences
Z 524 occurences
X 523 occurences
Y 435 occurences

W and V are best letters for acronyms
U is less valuable, especially taking into consideration that U standed for mostly non-commercial acronyms (Universities and Unions).

Y is most rare letter in acronyms! BUT! When Y is in the start of LLLL then it becomes Your LLL.com that is why I put it as semipremium after J.

Letters K and J are almost 2 times rarer in acronyms than W and V. I would also tell than though V is slightly less frequent in acronyms than W I still prefer V because it has more strong commercial terms: Video, Venture, Vehicle etc. So I classified these letters in following order:

1. W,V,U
2. K,J
3. Y
4. X,Z,Q

When X stands as first or last letter I add value to this domain.
