question Good 5 letter domains are looking.....good

[NickB]

Seeing a lot of requests for 5L domains on here....

The pronouncable 5L aftermarket is looking strong

The Namepros 5L market is looking cheap

Don't sell your 5L .com domains cheap

If you own CVCVC or VCVCV patterns hold them....or get fair wholesale value....

Don't get hung up on EMD bullzhit metrics

Don't get sucked into xx sales on here...

Do review Namebio sales regularly

The aftermarket has a strong appetite for quality 5L domains don't be lulled into a quick buck

This applies to quality 5L domains....not random BS

Reqqy.com
Ekowy.com
Tutgi.com
Rugho.com

@bmugford You're right mate. There seems to be scant difference in the average sale price of 4L, 6L, 7L, 8L. But the average sale price of 5L is double those other four classes. https://namebio.com.

1 L = 26 (z.com high $ 6.7m, average $ 24700)

2 LL = 676 (fb.com high $ 8.5m, average $28100)

3 LLL = 17,576 (sex.com high $ 14m, average $ 7089)
____________________________________________

4 LLLL = 456,976 (fund.com high $ 9.9m, average $ 2178)

5 LLLLL = 11,881,356 (voice.com high $ 30m, average $ 4476)

6 LLLLLL = 308,915,776 (casino.com high $ 5.5m, average $ 2822)

7 LLLLLLL = 8,031,810,176 (diamond.com high $ 7.5m, average $ 2845)

8 LLLLLLLL = 208,827,064,576 (software.com high $ 3.2m, average $ 2146)

This data is skewed by the high value dictionary word domains. Brandables are in a different bracket

This would be better if we excluded the data for dictionary words.

And how much do you pay for such quality 5L domain names (wholesale rate)? I know it depends on the name, but approximately.

And then what is your target end user price?

Good ones start in the low xxx range up to low x,xxx

Check out Namebio for pricing - type in CVCVC or VCVCV into the pattern box and select .com and then sort the results by highest sold.....will help show some of the end user sales

I agree that people should not give away their quality 5letter for peanuts, but quality is often a bit of a subjective feeling and most people think that their names are better than they really are - I have approx. 50 5letter and has over the years sold about 10 most via brandable sites such as BB, BP and SquadHelp. I do not own tip top quality but some of them I think are decent - Heysa - Ikito - Luxby - Jomle - Riwis - Dexzo - Jobxo - Parjo - Teliv - Seofo - Vrodo - Mouty - Sewos - Hitsi. Some of them I have sold: Joyzo - HipIQ - BobUp - Vipzi - Faact - Huxle

 

[Charybdis]

And are keyword-based 5L domains better than completely random 5L names?

I mean those 5L names which contain an actual dictionary word, or a slight variation of a dictionary word, so that the domain fits into a defined industry.

There are 5L domains as well which are random, not based on any word, but they are still pronounceable and they sound good.

 

[wwwulff]

I'm not sure what's best, but I've had good success with names that either contain a real word or are a good play on a word like some of the ones I mentioned above

 

[Haykay2005]

Am currently not a fan of 5L But I own a few with good pattern such as: resellers offers are welcome though

OVEBO.COM
KUTIC.COM

Here are mine in dot com:

Jecil - Philippine girls name meaning "Gift of God"
Jabif - surname
Lemof -
Qussy - qussy
Rijis -

I have only 1 cvcvc i,e. Mugik dot com (may be spelt as music)

Funny, I have Qusse...

And Ezzom, Ioita and a few.

Side note I only sold one 5L for 1k (I/O/I/L/A) - an I still have a few IO's of this kind.

The problem is this. Long-term they are a good investment. But don't expect a fast sale. There are 11 million of combinations, so it's largely a hit and miss. I had a lot of these and only ever sold one, that got to another investor - no end user inquiry whatsoever.

This means - It works only for just a few names, or for an investor with large pockets who will sit on them for many years to come. Today, I doubt you can break even with such a portfolio, unless you sell a particular name for high margin. But the others will still be sitting long there.

So it's a long-term thing and not everyone has the cash to sustain that long-term.

Edit: 11M combinations for 5L is an extremely high number, vs 150M .coms registered total with all lengths, words, combinations etc.

I've also calculated a while ago that great .coms to invest in 2-words are less than 1M, actually about 100K (great ones) to 500K (so-so ones that you can sit on for quite long). IF you compare this with the 11M combinations, it's still a very large number to pick a domain from.

 

[ecomslice]

I know this will sound negative. I'm saying it anyhow in hopes of other reconsidering regging the posted domains.

Firstly this is now another discussion thread turned into a show and tell.

My opinion based on few years selling xxxxx worth of 5L . None posted in this thread ( 99%+ ) have any logical value. But some might sell.

Raise your research , raise your choices. IMHO

Why negative? I don't see anything negative here. But perhaps, a chance to learn something new.

Edit: Negative but proper criticism = positive learning factor.

Your calculation is flawed. The English alphabet consists of 26 letters, so 26^5 = 11881376 combinations, yes.

But only a fraction of them will be a good 5L domain, same case with 2-word domains.

My calculation is not flawed. There's a lot of AI an tech behind it.

Of course, it depends where you set your thresholds. Mine are not too lax.

Edit: You might have misread - I was talking about 2-word .coms worth investing in (significantly under 1M)

I mean you compared the number of good 2-word domains to all the available 5L domains, you should compare the number of good 2-word domains to the number of good 5L domains.

No, in that case we would need to compare all 2-word com domains to all 5L domains. Anyway, you don't appear to get it (edit: get my view) but it probably doesn't matter that much. What I was saying is that to me at least it looks like an extremely large number of potential domains of the 5L type. Not 11M (cause not every domain is good ) but still a very large number.

If you divide it by 30 (say just 1 in 30 5L is good) it's still 366K, far larger number than my estimated .com valuable pool. It almost matches the entire other range of .com valuables.

Edit: At say a dictionary of 30K English base words, that's 900M potential 2-word, just mentioning for a fact here. A very small fraction is however worth investing in.

Ok I get your point now, but still if you manage to get good 5L domains, then you might achieve a better sell through rate with them, same case with 2-word .com domains.

And they compete with each other, a buyer might choose a 5L domain over a 2-word domain, and vice versa.
