Generally on expired auctions, but they tend to sell for not so cheap

They end up selling for at least $100
You won't see a good 4L selling for anything less than 5k on godaddy, what auctions have you been following because I'm highly interested if $100 is the going rate

Namejet, but theyโ€™re mostly unpronounceable.

Hi

if, even the crappiest of letters sell for $100 now,
how much they sell for, 4 years in the future?

if some of them just above crappy level are selling for $150 > $250 now -
then how much will they be worth, 4 years from today.

if some of them that are above the level above are selling for $500 > $1250
then how much will they be worth, two years from yesterday?

if, etc, etc and so on.

the point, if investing, then think of future value, rather than bs market value/prices today.

spent the bucks today, add 5 years renewal and wait.

imo...

True but I dont have confidence in putting a lot on a domain (cuz im a beginner) even if Im pretty sure the resell price is much higher.

There is no such thing as liquid. Retail or wholesale. Just like anything else.

LLLL.com doesnt need to be pronounceable,
โ€œDo you see any acronyms?โ€
I usually avoid โ€œXโ€ โ€œZโ€ like the plague.

If you see acronym speaking to you;
and you can see developing it; buy it

Lastly, avoid the โ€œCVCVโ€ hoopla; they one of the most valuable (Constant, Vowel, Constant, Vowel) CVCV.comโ€™s are so overrated to me!

Cheap llll.com floor price is $100;
All 456,976 llll.com taken since 2017.
Good luck! NP cheapest place to buy llll.com; where i bought most of mine.

Apart from having all premium letters, that's not a good 4L imo

The thing about short domains is that they might not mean anything today, but they may become an acronym tomorrow. They're a great cash freezer for patient investors. Think of nfts.com - what did it mean ten years ago, other than a typo of NTFS? What did utxo.com mean a couple years before it sold for 20k? btcc? xrpl? ethx? It's just a handful of examples from just one industry. Multiply it by a number of innovations people unleash every year...

I compiled the following article on 4L .com domain names a few years ago, but the links to some of the discussions, and the link to resources like ShortDomains is still of value. I could also show the range that 4L were being priced then. Incidentally, it is called an outsider look since I do not personally invest in 4L.com.

Thanks for the info, Bob.

Sadly, the ShortDomains data collection has trickled off within the past few months and may have become another lost resource (historical records excepted).

Hi

in essence, we're both trying to hip the OP to the same big picture.

:)
