discuss Are random 4L .com really worth investing renewals?

[Akhilesh.Kumar]

Keep aside repeat letters, multiple vowels, pronounceable, known or prompt possible abbreviations etc, if you consider random combination of 4 letter to make a .com, is it really worth?
I mean all 4L are either bought-up from kid to young by paying their school fee (renewals) for 10-15 years or the orphans (drop/expired) are adopted at a high ransom (bid) from an open auction.

The no-meaning, non pronounceable random combination of 4 letters sells for $100-150 in auctions.
I was negotiating one on such auction platform where there was no bid due to high reserve. I threw an under reserve (micro) bid to mark presence. Post auction, the name lost it's esteem and jumped from Burj-Khalifa ($999) to pot hole ($99) and landed in my mail box with a low BIN offer.

And soon flashed in my mind, the name I am referring to is aged since 2005.
Since 2005, the name celebrated 15 birthdays and 15 birthday gifts (renewals) would have been somewhere equal to what the young man (4L.com domain) is earning today.

Saying this, I want to discuss with community/family- the valuable 4L.com including usable abbreviations, fancy combinations, repeat letters etc are valuable (understandably).
Is it true that all non sense (excuse the description. Not intended to insult) 4L.com are renewed and are expected to sell high just because of the fact that there are no free available 4L.com available like all dictionary words.
Or the names are waiting for future when sometime someone may think of a 4 word name for his/her firm and that coincidentally matches the waiting 4L.com for abbreviation.

Logically end user may prefer a decent 2 word name for $50-70 rather a no meaning 4L for $100-150

I am still a leaner and may not see what vintage domineers do. So trying to find out an understanding why is it so. Please do not see the post as sarcasm or challenging. I do not have any (not even 0.00001%) intentions to insult owners of any sort of 4L.com name.

Cheers... !!!

It's all about taking a gamble and about liquidity.

Invest some for a short period of time in whatever LLLL, if it doesn't pay off you're certain you can liquidate for at least a break even number within a day may you want/need to (if you bought wisely).

That's true.
It's like no or little risk for Reinvestor if invested for little time.

You already insulted the owners of thousands of 4 letter dot com owners by terming these names as "all non sense 4L.com"

Please avoid sarcastic comments.

Hello Mr. Basha,

With due respect, may I request you to read the post again (completely). Or to save your time, here is the thing I need your attention on (copied from my original post) -

The discussion is about trying to get a sense out of 4L .coms which do not end up in any abbreviations or repeat characters or fancy formations etc.

You're welcome. You worded it decent enough.

I would actually describe some random ones I own as crap, basically not even worth reg fee. Unless someone starts using a weird abbreviation, no brand value in it. The only reason they have value is because LLLL is 'scarce' and in demand.

Bingo...!!!

That's my point. If it's not worth reg fee or 10 to 15 years of renewal fee investment, what's the point bidding $100-150 on such combination of 4 random letters?
They are just worth around $100 for the fact they are 4L dot com.

I tried buying some but could not convince myself to invest $100 for one name that doesn't make any sense. Rather I may prefer investing $100 doing hand reg for 15 names that make some sense.
IMO... Once again, not intent to insult anyone..

Cheers...!!!

Totally agree, very valid point.
