Don't you own ABCDE.com? What sort of numbers are they throwing out?

I have got four 6 figure offers since Jan, all seems or 'looks like' from private buyer.

That is very nice, it seems they are on a mission, maybe if you are one of the last holdouts, the offer will be even nicer, Congrats on holding on.

Thanks I believe Google acquiring such domains as a defensive buy and they may not be willing to pay a very high price. Considering they may never be able to get all 26 possible domains.
The offers I got this year actually includes a $300k+ offer from a Chinese investor who has bought two 6 figure PinYin domains from me in the past. I have created more than 30 email accounts with ABCDE for my friends and business partners, and most of them use it for their main email address for many years. So should I sell this domain name could be a very hard decision.

You might be able to get a good deal on a 2L.com, and 1 3L.com for that kind of money, if you can trade into that, I think you would have a better investment long term.

You have the best combination, as ABC will never sell.

Had Google not settled on a retarded branding strategy involving a .xyz domain, they wouldn't have to bother with all those defensive registrations - which aren't necessary anyway.
But this is not as bad as O.co, because abc is an obscure website hardly anybody visits.

 

[domainnamesdaily]

I agree with wwweb on trading up for better domains. Long term it may make more sense. Good luck with what ever you do.

They dont really pay that high if you think so. One of the members here got $1k offer from google for his domain name which is pretty much normal offer not an awesome one.

 

[Kiko]

I started doing this alphabet thing first than google,... I even remember lots of .xyz names were available, even abcdefghijklmnopqrstw.xyz was available, I remember being close on buying it... I didn't though Google was doing my shit..
Duly.com, dvly.com, dv1y.com, du1y.com
Abcduly.com
Aduly.com
Bduly.com
Cduly.com
Dduly.com
Eduly.com
...Zduly.com

 

[Joseph CA]

I personaly like the alphabet formation ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

abc the most, and that makes [email protected] My favourite email id, and abc.defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com

Yes, this domain names may not make sense for some, not even to me but perhaps in the future, indeed, this will be something that we will be looking up to.
