About one hour ago, all Chinese premium LLLL.net were registered.

No single Chinese premium LLLL.net is left...
I am checking it again.

Thanks, Nat! Do you think prices have generally settled or are you still seeing a climb?

I think they're still climbing in a sloppy kind of way. It definitely seems like more and more names are selling for $100+.

You can see what I've been talking about, more and more Chinese LLLL.net breaking out to the upside. My own hope (since I own a lot of these) is that these +$100 names are the leading edge of where we are going.

Nat plenty of people don't have DDC so they are paying more than $8, I know I used a coupon to pay $11.

 

[campout]

@equity78 Good to know. So, we can look at the "+ $8" number as being conservative.

Thank you for posting so much valuable information in this thread. It has been incredibly helpful.

In my case - $13,98 if you include taxes
Yesterday I paid $25,98 for a $12 domain

HUGE day at DropCatch, where almost every caught name was Standard ordered ($59):

1. Bcmx.net, Standard
2. Dmng.net, Standard
3. Gcwy.net, Standard
4. Hbph.net, Standard
5. Hgjn.net, Standard
6. Hwhp.net, Standard
7. Hylp.net, Standard
8. Khjp.net, Standard
9. Klzl.net, Standard
10. Lcmh.net, Standard
11. Lygk.net, Standard
12. Lzrz.net, Standard
13. Mlxf.net, Standard
14. Qdwh.net, Standard
15. Rfkr.net, Standard
16. Rzhj.net, Standard
17. Srdx.net, Standard
18. Tjzk.net, Standard
19. Xlsm.net, Standard
20. Ysmh.net, Standard

We have not seen anything like this until today. There's nothing really remarkable about the bulk of these names, either.

 

[pablohc86]

Congrats on your sale! It means "there are two", short for Hái yǒu liǎng gè (还有两个)

How did you find the meaning?
i've seen along the thread that some dictionary link has been left but it seem you have a powerful resource.
thanks in advance..

 

[pablohc86]

A question for all: in Chinese grammar, where is correct to put the province/city couple of letters?
i know English grammar put the GEO before, in Italy instead the GEO is put after..

 

[campout]

From everything I've seen, the Chinese like the geo at the beginning.

3 names went to public auction at DropCatch today, and 19 more were caught and Standard ordered. Essentially, this means there is now a $59 base (on all names), provided that the past 2 days' trend continues at DropCatch. (Of course this happens right after I sell a bunch of names at lower prices -- such timing lol.)

I am guessing that from now on more and more net chips will go to public auction at DropCatch (2 or more Standard orders), and then the visibility of those prices will feed back into prices everywhere else, rising everything. Base $60s, base $70s, we may pretty quickly get to that distant dream I speculated about seemingly so long ago (2 months ago) of $100 base. I doubt I will stick around for that, though. And believe me from what I have seen in doing a bunch of bulk deals over the past few days, it is deep-pocketed Chinese who are buying. Check the WhoIs on the DropCatch Standard orders: buyers there are Chinese, too.

So, congrats to those who have had a little more patience in holding their net chips than me (I still have ~150 and have never stopped buying, actually, but probably sold too many this weekend)

My advice is to stop selling as prices for the chinese premium will be $100+ till the end of the year.

You mean: you think they will be $100 by the end of the year?

Yes, Thats what I meant. $ 100+ by the end of this year

 

[campout]

Think I might. just. take you up on that. Thanks, John.

I remember in August I didn't want to take some ugly names for refgee, so posted it here.

And then sold 1 to Nat for $9, hahaha.

Giving away $100 bills like Durov, and what can you brag about, %username%?

Indeed Christmas came early this year

 

[campout]

And then sold 1 to Nat for $9, hahaha.

ahaha Yeah then I bought Desktop Catcher like the next day.

It's funny I was thinking of how we all were initially letting batches drop and just sit there. "Ehhh, I don't know if that one is really a "good" Chinese premium, it only has one X... I think I'll leave it there, it's not really worth my $4.39...."

Now the smartest guy today is probably the one who's buying everything without regard to patterns and all that for $59. Gotta put that capital to work and not be nitpicky if you think the whole class is going up.

Last time I checked this guy's name was Liu Weisheng or something and he was listed as professor of mathematics in University of Shanghai.
Owns more than 10000 domains, was buying from the first days and very active at both drops and the auctions.
Math rulez!

 

[DotCN]

Yes, Thats what I meant. $ 100+ by the end of this year

It's about $80 now. So you might be right.

 

[Genius327]

It's about $80 now. So you might be right.

May I know where is this $80 figure is coming from? I couldn't find that. I am waiting them to become $100 and holding about 113 names now.

Anyways, here's the list from DropCatch yesterday. Standard = $59.
