opinion Is it time to sell, buy or hold LLLL.coms?

[Arpit131]

Seeing the recent rise in values of LLLL.com domains, here is a question that I think some of the others would also be having :

Is it the right time to flip your already owned LLLL.com at this price?
Or
Hold it for future so as to have a higher ROI?
Or
Buy it at this price because you think it is going to sell for even higher prices in the near or far future?

Your opinions about their pricing lately??

 

[4better]

Follow the trend..

i am going to keep them and develop them.Will not sell them until i get the good price :D

Well if you have 5 to 20 domains. Then you can develop and its good idea. What about 200+. How can i develope them all.

Did anyone notice market of 4 Letter domains are getting cool down again. I closely monitor the activities of 4L market. Yesterday 9 4L domains sold on godaddy auction under $60 which is bad for domain investors because they have to hold down again for the right time to come back. Like others I'm also worried because i have huge investment in 4L .com's. But I'll hold for the right time and whatever the circumstances will be . I'll face but will not make any mistake to sell domains at low cost like i did before.

I saw in 2009 LLLLs were being sold for about a $1 lol

That doesn't necessarily mean you could have made an outstanding profit on these names.

$1 purchase, $9 renewal (2010), $9, $9, $9, $9, $9 = $55 to hold from 2009.

Granted, the ones not sought by the Chinese do sell for ~$75/pc, that's a $20 profit per name over 5 years in an uncertain market. It wouldn't have been wise at that time to scoop anything up en mass. Having known what you do now, and taking it back 6 years (I think CD's and savings do better than that), buying 5000 of these would be a fantastic purchase. Though, you don't own a time machine.

Sometimes you have to take risks, and some risks just aren't worth it. I don't think anyone foresaw LLLL's without a,e,i,o,u,v going for what they do now ($350-$7500), otherwise, people would have dumped their 401k's into them. Instead, I'm sure most took the wiser path and profited from 2009 until now with what they knew would sell, instead of spending all their capital then, to work off their debt to profit immensely now.

Every domain name that you're referring to at those prices have one or more a,e,i,o,u,v in them. Otherwise, they're at a $85* low (good buy).

Search for CCCC's and ignore V's.

 

[DANEYAL]

In my Opinion Flipping is the Best Option.

 

[bro]

Please step aside, let me push the panic button

I have tried buying some outside forums, and let me tell you it is not easy. once we the LLLL flippers run out of supplies, expect price rise even more.

it does mean to me ( it was $61 per domain.) and i will surely make great money with the names cause i am learning the tips

you need to read Eric Lyon's guide!

 

[awei]

i dont have any at the moment
but will buy if a bargain

one thing really solid for L,LL,LLL,LLLL,LLLLL is that it's the only niche woking for every language, every culture
they apply for a 1.4 billion population country
and also a dying south America tribe
26*26*26*26 isnt a big number for the whole world

Good Thought!

 

[DomainVP]

I am selling, I like some other niches and since I bought most of my 4L's at basement bargain pricing I am ready to take those profits from the value of premium 4L's today and move them into other niches and domain types.

I'm not selling all of them as I have some that I acquired 4L's with very specific letter combinations, some brandables that sound like English words, and some with high exact monthly search (60k+).

4L's are still a good hold, the longer you hold the more profit; the Chinese 4L's will continue to rise as the auctions & drops become more scarce. Now is the time to buy.

 

[blingblingking]

sell it

 

[Dominic Belley]

I am going against the flow regarding 4L.
I am buying all the crapiest ones that nobody wants.

 

[iowadawg]

Go to ebay for llll.coms
Freaky bids and prices there.

People still want the crappy ones...too...

good luck

 

[Paully]

Today's "crap" can very easily be tomorrow's treasure especially when a market has so little available stock and so many blind followers.

 

[conter]

I am still seeing a bubble taking shape, that is also driven by domainers. They tend to be followers, and thus they amplify the action. In a bubble scenario the trick is to liquidate positions soon enough.

Years ago LLL.us domains were selling for $$$, .mobi domains too. Now you can hardly sell them.
Even the cherished buyout no longer holds nowadays.

When previously junk domains become premium overnight, it is a sign the market is not being rational, or it is the players.

WELL said

 

[Compassion]

Check out LLLLsales.com. (created by a NP member)

This is the best database to explore sales data. There are lots of ways to sort sales, including the new Chinese premium checkbox


There will always be ups and downs, however the trends are mostly upwards in price

 

[xrvel]

Its time to sell the "chinese" 4L

 

[MR PACKER]

Hold not just for domainers, but for end users.

Exactly......this is what I have always done, never sold to a domainer ever and have always got great prices as below:

cbdo.com for $4000 - Aug 12th 2015
(Private thru Escrow.com)

wswu.com for $1500 - May 19th 2015
(Sedo.com)

bmaq.com for $3000 - Aug 18th 2014
(Private thru Escrow.com)

waqu.com for $5500 - Apr 13th 2012
(Private thru Escrow.com)

wtru.com for $4490 - Sep 19th 2006
(Sedo.com)

Still have around 150 LLLL.com's and I'll be holding.........

once we the LLLL flippers run out of supplies, expect price rise even more.

I think this is what we are starting to see now, with minimum prices for Chinese premium LLLL.com now topping $1000.

I can't imagine that ordinary domainers (like us, or our Chinese counterparts) are buying these domains. The price point is prohibitive for pure speculation, especially on the average domainer's budget. Domainer frenzy (ie the blind following the blind) may have explained the dramatic 2007 price hike, around the time of the buyout. But cannot explain this one.

Who is buying these domains now? The answer to that question will shed a lot of light on where prices are most likely to go from here.
