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

How much are LLLL.coms worth? Cause I wouldnt imagine there would be a rush to buy up a remaining LLLL.com

 

[-REECE-]

Min Wholesale ~ $15 (99%+ of LLLL.coms would sell for this range or higher, with a few 4x bad letter falling in the $12-$14 range currently).

A name like dazf.com is $30+ any day of the week. A great find!

dazf.com was available because it was dropped right?

LLLL.coms are really picking up..ive got 2 offers for a one premium letter LLLL.com but because the other 3 is the same non premium letter. but i am holding on tight to it now till i geta better offer

 

[fenal]

Im pleased that you got it, i bet that your heart was beating like crazy that whole time.

 

[WORDSWORTH]

I'm amazed that I got it after all that :hehe:

Moniker is still not working for me today so I've just shot them another email.

Thanks for all the posts. I was obviously meant to get this domain

well I guess we shouldn't expect to see this one in that old "$12 LLLL.com sale" thread ...! Nice catch.

Nice one now relax

How did you know that 'DAZF.com' was available for registration?

 

[WORDSWORTH]

How did you know that 'DAZF.com' was available for registration?

I didn't

I run lots of scans in the hope of finding some available names. The drop catchers occasionally miss a good one that I'm only too happy to pick up :D

Matt.

 

[bobdigital]

Can't you just bulk register every dropped LLLL.com from the past week?

 

[WORDSWORTH]

Can't you just bulk register every dropped LLLL.com from the past week?

Yeah if you can mess with the drop catchers and convince every other domainer that LLLL.com names aren't worth anything :D

But seriously, LLLL.com's are so hot at the moment that only a very few that drop aren't automatically picked up. If the drop catchers don't get them, the scanners will. That's why it was so incredible that I was able to get this one even though it took a full ten minutes after I found it.
