Just nabbed a blinder, but OMG...

[WORDSWORTH]

You won't believe this...

I discovered an incredible, unregistered LLLL.com

I type it into Moniker, and get to checkout, only to get an internal processing error...

I think, 'Shit' I'm probably going to lose it now. I keep my cool and try Dynadot (my backup account).

Dynadot is down. Here's me thinking well I've definitely lost it now. The only other account left to try is at GoDaddy and their system doesn't update in real time, not to mention the occasional swiped name. But I have no choice...

So to GoDaddy. Unbelievably, against the odds, the name is available so I get to checkout and elect to pay with my existing PayPal. I don't bother with a bonus code as every second counts and the domain is worth much more anyway. I lose more valuable time though when the page hangs. I'm panicking. I switch to credit card and then have to manually type my card details, even though they are on file...

I finally get the order confirmation message. I hold my breath, hoping and praying that the domain will appear in my account...

and...

Bravo

It must have taken me 10 minutes to finally register that name, even though it was probably the only available LLLL.com around.

and the name?

Yes, what was all the fuss about, you're asking right?

It's:

dazf.com

Now, at last, I can relax....

Aaaah

Matt.

November 2nd. It was very exciting for those who were awake to witness the last names going (not me). Check DYYO.com for more info.

Nice! Now, for that to happen with an LLL... :lol:

 

[domainer50]

[shockie]

[deet]

Nice way to describe, lol.. my heart was pounding till the end :P

 

[networkmsia]

[mis_chiff]

Supply

There are 456,976 LLLL.coms somewhere. They will always be somewhere. The real question is will they ever amount to something for the individual holder other than just being a collectible just-in-case domain to have?

A while ago I bought FWBB.com because I wanted it to stand for Fixed Wireless BroadBand. Nobody cared but me, so it is still sitting idle and making me no money. That said, the LLLL.com domain, other than one that actually spells out a word, is only worth what you put into it and what others get out of it.

On a closing note, I have no crystal ball, but I'd suspect that many of the 456,976 domains will continue to drop daily for the same reasons that other domains drop - people give up on or forget about them. So keep looking for them.

Congrats on the pickup, well worth the reg fee

 

[jido]

I am dazzled....

Tear-dropping story, glad you got your gem in the end! Do not resell it yet

 

[dannbkk]

Hey i was checking out on dazf.com the same time you were you beat me by 1 second. Damn, no just kidding, yeah good catch, congratulations.

But i think we all hear have something in common, we all here know your feeling and it sure is a buzz that no-one else besides a true domainer would understand

Matt Damon should play you in the movie.

Cameron Diaz can play the godaddy girl who ends up being your love interest.

Yes, Steve aka etab, you can play yourself as the Namepros guy.
