Does anyone remember what happened to LLL.us after buyout? I did not witness it, but as far as I read on forums, apparently LLL.us rose to $100 on buyout hype (same as LLLL.com), fall back to few $ per LLL.us (same as LLLL.com) and then rose back to current $50-100 levels and are fluctuating around them. Is it true? Anyone was following it?

I can't remember how high they got initally, but it does sounds about right, I remember some selling for $2-3 on afternic.

The problem mainly with it was only a couple of people had done most of the buying. I'm not sure how low lll.us is at present, but it looks like it is south of $50 (no idea how far south), and that is after people have been paying 5 years of renewals with the overall domain market booming through most of that time.

I only have around 50 LLLLs now, and have already renewed them till 2009 or 2010 with the money I earned by selling a few of them. Overall I've made around 25% pure profit on LLLLs this year so far...

 

[1john2004]

have alredy renewed all my 300+ llll.com

 

[gladdy]

Voted, No drop!

 

[Shasta]

Drop my LLLL.com's? No way.

 

[maxeaus]

Looks like everyone is holding..........even Snoop!

 

[Malaysia]

no way i am dropping them...ive been holding on to most of them since 2005-2006

 

[domeinen]

Not drop any off my llll.com's. I renew 150-200 for one year again

 

[Nsane Domain]

No way -- No How !!

I am just curious why owners of 10,000 domains expiring in September-October have not voted yet. Everyone expects them to drop domains. Where are the October Droppers?

I wanted to get a contact to them through this thread and offer them low $x per domain (great deal vs. dropping for free, don't you agree?), but it looks like they are hiding. Well, nevermind. At least we have a nice pool.

Any more votes or opinions?

Well , guy , think about it carefully. I jumped in LLLL.com soon but with wrong choose and most my domains are ugly (which contain Q letters) and until now I pay 2 years regfees for each of my domains and I have 100+. And next year it will cost me 3 years reg fees for each , which mean I will pay $2300 or so for the whole. Do you really think I even earn just to cut my loss in next year by selling 100+ ugly LLLL.com ?
So I suggest you should choose which is the best and drop the worse . I vote for "I will drop some".

If you don't want to renew, why not advertise them for sale? I'm sure you would get lots of takers at $x and higher even with the worst letters and immediate renewal being required. Dropping them earns you $0 and they still go into other people's pockets.

I'm hanging on to mine, already sold off the very ugliest (sometimes for surprising amounts). With economy headed for the rocks, we may have to hold these until 2010 or even later. I'll drop a few more, and buy very cautiously some higher quality names to sit on long term.

My guess is that even ugly domains will eventually pay back the owner - but how many years can you afford to keep paying the renewal fees until then?

just to clarify, will you drop (do not extend) or sell some of your LLLL.com?

Sorry, that was unclear. I don't plan to drop. I've sold a few uglies on Ebay, and have only a couple left - and those will go the same route.

 

[VURG]

Only by accident. I did that a couple of months ago.

 

[domainator1]

just re-regged over 400, these will be *priceless* in years to come

 

[Venture]

I think we will see quite a few drop, though not by me. The buzz that surrounded the buy-out attracted non-domainers, who will probably be too disheartened by the drop in prices to renew.

 

[floatingworld]

of course some will drop for a myriad of reasons but they will all be snapped up because the resale price is greater than the reg fee
