.com 6N sales report

[TargetNames]

Hello all,

For several months, I have been recording 6N sales from Asian auctions. I now have enough data (thousands of sales) to offer some perspective on the 6N market and general trends. Because the market is so liquid (and large), I have segmented the data into specific "pattern" types which have a large enough sample size to be meaningful.

Please note that there are other threads for showcasing your domains and discussing 6N in general terms. In this thread, I will highlight and discuss only 6N.coms sold at auction (live bids and confirmed buyers) on Asian platforms. I will use this thread to focus on specific pattern sales with short commentary. Hopefully, this will help buyers and sellers in pricing and bidding.

Please note:

1. I have not captured every sale, but am confident I have recorded "most".

2. I make no warranty as to the accuracy of the final sales price as I am relying on the auction sites and the sales reporting site Chaomi.

3. There is a lot of data and almost impossible to capture all. For perspective, the pattern I will analyze today has almost 80 recorded sales in the last 7 days. How many of this pattern were published on Namebio in the last 7 days? The answer is 0. Feel free to add sales that I may have missed or from lesser known auction sites.

4. Sales are in Chinese yuan (CNY)- Conversion guide (changes daily, so not precise):

2000 CNY- $304
2250 CNY- $342
2500 CNY- $380
2750 CNY- $418
3000 CNY- $456
3500 CNY- $532
4000 CNY- $608

Today's 6N pattern analysis: The interior, non-eight "triple" repeating digit (no 0,4).

Comment: 13 sales, average: 2631 CNY ($400) Low 2400 High 3300 (8 end). The number 9 is always strong and this data confirms.

Summary: Remember, this is one week. There are hundreds of data points for each triple over the last few months. This pattern bottomed in early-mid December at 1400-1600 CNY on low end. The last two weeks show increasing price.

I will analyze the next pattern in a day or two.

No thread i'm aware of.
It's spam from China, that's all I know and it's heating up big time!

Yeah, especially if you manage a significant portfolio. Curious to learn who is pumping it up.

Yeah, especially if you manage a significant portfolio. Curious to learn who is pumping it up.

I've received around 10 spam emails in a very short space of time lately looking to buy up different names.
I can never figure out if the spammers are the big players in china who are pushing demand and prices up, or if they just know prices are about to move to a new level again and want to get in quick.

I started this thread on 20/1/16 and it is now 20/2/16. At that time, I looked back only a few weeks to compile relevant current market value to assess pricing. Today, I am going to do the same to see how the market for "pattern" domains has changed.

All pricing is based on sales from 6/2-20/2 unless otherwise noted. Dollar value is converted from CNY.

To review, here is the pricing data for patterns from late January (please see first several posts for pattern description and scheme):

Auction prices (Jan, 16):

Double eight (beginning): $524
Triple Interior: $378
Interior pairs: $391
Exterior pairs: $536
Three 8's, 8 pair always interior: $379


Auction prices (Current Market):

Double eight beginning: $586 (only 3 sales- not enough to draw conclusions)
Triple Interior: $483 (16 sales, 2 higher sales from NB not included)
Interior Pairs: $420 (22 sales)
Exterior Pairs: $519 (16 sales, 4 from NB at $600 average not included )
Three 8's w/ interior pair: $471 (10 sales)

One Month Change:

Double eight beginning: +12% (small sample)
Triple Interior: +27%
Interior Pairs: +7%
Exterior Pairs: -3%
Three 8's: +24%

Disclaimer: It is difficult to capture all sales though I am confident that I recorded most. These are for specific patterns only. There are thousands of sales that I did not record. For a more accurate picture of the 6N market, I would recommend Chaomi and Namebio price data.

566995.com just closed for $820.
I never realised these patterns went for so much.

I have 199778.com, 311557.com, 599778.com and 733115.com.

Good news again for premiums IMO

My Dear friend there is slight difference between the premium pair you have and what Sold on Dropcatch today.

Dropcath Pattern = ABBCCA.com (566995.com)

Your Pattern = ABBCCD.com

Yours still worth around range of $550-$650 and ABBCCA.com is little rare.

ABBCCA = 8*8*8 = 512 possible Chinese premium combination in this pattern

ABBCCD = 8*8*8*8 = 4096 possible Chinese Premium Combination in this pattern.

I hope it may help you understand the difference between the premium pattern you hold versus what sold today on Dropcatch.

I have 622886.com (ABBCCA Pattern) which is little more more more premium pattern than 566995.com.

Thanks

Gotcha, that is very helpful.

Let's say even at $600 for my type of names, that's still more than I thought they were worth in today's market. I actually prefer 199778.com and 599778.com to 566995.com despite the rarity factor, but i'm biased of course

Still a great price, good to see IMO!

Thanks. Do you want 388288.com?? Then I won't participate in it. I will find opportunity in something else. I care for relationship and I 100% believe good relationship will go far. I will not participate in 388288.com. You can bid all the way with others. I will play my part by not placing anymore bids.

Thanks

I was kidding

I reckon it will go for $5k+ anyway which is above what i'm prepared to pay for it, plus I think the big chinese bidders won't let me have a chance anyway even if I was prepared to pay whatever it takes to get it.

I know I said this before, and for anybody who missed it, IMO 6n.com is the best investment I have ever done and I been buying and selling domains since 1998. There is still a huge opportunity in buying these, especially now since many of the biggest buyers (The Chinese) are on vacation during Chinese New Year. Chips are great, but good patterns are just as good such as, "54", "48", "84", all great as well not just about numbers but patterns. Good luck everybody!

You have been on the money Jim, you are right about 54, I have spoken to a few contacts non domaining related who are in China, and they both said 54 was very desirable, they had no idea why I was asking and I never mentioned domain names at all. I have been getting a lot of offers on 898954.com. Kassey Lee gave me this translation:
This is how we say it. Split the number into three groups: 89, 89, 54. In Cantonese, this is an excellent number. 89 means "making a fortune forever" and 54 "not dying". Remember, there is no one-to-one translation from number to Chinese characters. It's all about rhyming and using your creative mind.

Great to hear about 54 & 89, its not a 6 n dot com but I have 54540.co & 89890.co . Don't mean to hijack!..

Super info!

 

[TERADOMAIN]

Woww, congrats... Is it sold on auction or BIN?

It was expired auction.

Still it is not valid/confirmed sale until next 7-8 days because If Original Owner chose to renew then money will be refunded to auction winner. It happens sometimes.

I happened with me too. I was winner of 561666.com , 921922.com and many more. I paid for it and names got renewed by original owner.

We can consider kind of market price but not 100% confirmed sold.

I don't know why Godaddy don't wait until it is completely expired and in their pocket. Then start auction. I am not talking about all names but talking about certain premium names which are definitely worth more than hand. reg value. They should come up with certain formula and plan to have 100% sure Auction where winner is real winner instead of bidding for 9 days, then paid and at last original owner renew it.

Some people do it purposefully to check current market price for their name which is ethically not correct according to me at least. Because so many people spend their time and at end nobody gained anything except Godaddy (Penalty fees) and kind of Original owner after paying those penalty and try to sell later for more premium price.

It is not good practice according to me. I am not expert. I am also learning and sharing with all other friends what I have learned so far. I am learning and I always be learning.

Thanks

Kassey has been a tremendous help to all the Namepros community. And Ray your 898954.com is a great great name, a potential 5K name: "89 89" "54" has everything which makes it great!
