Expected future of 4LLLL .com domains.

[omerlevinson]

I see the market and it seems that prices go down. What do you think the future of these domains?

Prices I posted are for non chips tough.

Yes, I know, prior to the chip hype, those domains used to be the cheaper ones as many people had no use for the Q Z J X type letters mixed in.

but actually, there is no end user for the non chips domains? its just a game of resellers ?
cause if it isn't brandable why this domain so high?

They are high because they are traded like a commodity in relation to chips which are running maybe $1400 on average now. Since there is a finite number of 460,000 or so, and 160,000 chips, they trade them on scarcity.

It is a crapshoot really, I see a listing here on the forum that has been up for 4 days, at a BIN of $195, lots of V, but no takers. It is almost like playing hot potato, until you have a better name to play.

Many of the names I have held for years, without any traffic, or inquiries, I have sold, it is not hard to work thru the letters, and figure out not much can be made of most.

But each domain is different, and you have to figure it out for yourself.

Talk to the "old guys", 4 L has left a bad taste in our mouths. There is still some money to be made in them, but like all domain names...be careful

4L is hot right now, but may not be same price in few months. What shoots up easy can also fall down easy.

But again, 4L seems safe bet if you consider the alternatives. People choose .com over other gtlds, in the same way, people choose 4L over other longer names. just my 2 cents

Hi there. All depend on how will evolve certain markets. Surely I would not spend too much for 4LLLL. A domainer cannot risk to spend too much if is not secure to resell good!

Absolutely there is end-user interest for non-chip domains, at least those in the so-called "Western premium" category. However, there seems (to me) to have been a major slide in end-user demand in the past year or so. Whether that changes remains to be seen -- 2017 will be a bellwether for sure.

Also, post the chip-tsunami and even now looking at non-chip 4L sales, it's very sobering to see the vast number of LLLL .com domains that continue to change hands. After all, in many ways it's largely a numbers game in the 4L market.

There are 457K 4L domains. To put that in perspective, about 2 thousand times more (1 bil) iPhones have been sold to date.... scarcity

Another perspective is ration of 457K (4L) to the total number of .com domains registered is about 115 mil. about 1/270...scarcity

Only threat I see is if overall .com starts losing popularity. That's a tough one though because its been burned in people's brains. I asked an 8 year old yesterday if they prefer .com or .music on a music subject. The answer was .com.

All investments require the climbing of a wall of worry. Enjoy the climb, or get out of the game. Reduce your stress by doing your own research. Sunday's game is actually played during the week leading up to it, on Sunday you just execute.

Prices are fluctuating, so some investors are selling slowly

 

[eurorealtor]

I am not worry about LLLL's.com future (non chip).

 

[iziksan]

They called liquid domains because the teardrops when you cry if you sale them too soon or too late ......

Has anyone got a link to that sales thread?

IMO 4L .com will only go up in value. Scarcity.
So will 5L, but maybe only above reg fee in 10 years time or longer since nowhere near as scarce or easily sold to end users.

4L.com is always a good investment but should be taken with a very watchful eye.
