You can't really say at this point. You will just have to wait and find out.

Wow, 10 years out is tough for an industry, let alone domains! The farthers we can really go out is a few years, and after all the LLLL are regg'd you can look at a strong premium on pronouncables and top quality letters.

 

[kev]

can you pm me the names you have. i am still looking for premium LLLL.com to add to my collection

 

[floatingworld]

well unless you get more than $100 for each one it wil have been a waste of time...just factor in the renewal fees and loss of interest (less maybe some parking). Do you think a domain is a maturing bottle of wine?

Floating.......

4 letter .coms at $7 per year are the biggest bargains in town.....10 years from now they won't be available for less than $1,000 MINIMUM................I PROMISE YA

It is probably not a good idea to set an exact time frame for this kind of investment, like you would do for bonds, for instance.

LLLL.coms are I think a good investment these days - but I do sometimes think about a couple small groups of LLLL.coms I bought from others - both of them lost money, one lost at least 70%.

Promises are only valid when attached with collateral...if they don't reach 1k minimum wholesale, you can donate the difference to Namepros

In all seriousness, I think we'll look back on premium LLLL as a great investment in a few years

Some questions:
In 10 years will .COM still be king?
Will domain names still be how people access the internet?
Will short names have any advantage?
Will the internet have grown in popularity or been largely replaced by something else?

And, most important - what will the over-all world economy be like? Depression or prosperity? Peace or war?

Remember that domain names crashed once - in 2001, along with the overall economy. It may happen again -- if the market grows much faster than it is now it will happen again.

I have some LLLL.coms, too. I will be watching these factors to see how long to hold them. But percentage wise the big profit I expect will be in 2 - 3 years when the quick sellers are gone and only the long term holders are left. I would think they will do well then.

10-year is too long. Suppose you can get 6% interests in the bank for 10 years. If you invest it in stock market, you can get 10-30% per year gain.

I can not expect what would happen 10 years later.

But I just sold Pimy.com at $1050 on Sedo. So .. 10 years later ? $5000? No answer

I didn't regged 4 letter .coms for reselling it. :D

Just for fun and as a hobby to be a part of it when the 4 letter .coms really rolls.

In some cases I have developed the site and its earning far better revenue right now then it would have paid me after 10 years of waiting.

But yeah for investors, 4 letter .coms if stockpiled in bulk, will surely bring in nice income in later years.

Maybe a look at this thread will also give some ideas: http://www.namepros.com/contests-forum/245743-llll-com-countdown-competition.html

10 years is a long time span for predictions.

10 years from now... kids might be navigating the web with implants in their foreheads, using thoughts and eye movement, and addresses that don't need individual url's, but instead are all linked to one big collective.

What will happen to my domains?

 

[snoop]

The potential number of combinations are too large for the low quality ones to hold long lasting value in my view. I think in 10 years time there be more available than today. There was a previous buyout around 5-6 years ago, that didn't hold for long.

What will happen to my domains?

That is the reality - the entire structure of domain investing is built on assumptions that:

a) the internet will continue as it is, more or less, and
b) Icann or somebody will not pull the rug out from us via tiered renewals or some other scheme.

Don't bet the house.

I think it was on the chat on your board a couple years ago that I asked how much I should pay for all high premium letter LLLL.coms. I was told in no uncertain terms that such domains were worthless. I have been seeing them sell recently for high $$$.

So I do think that more experienced domainers sometimes see things as they were, not as they will be. It seems reasonable to me that 4 letter .coms, after they all are gone, will rise to the neighborhood of 1/26 the price of a similar 3 letter .com. There perhaps will be some discount for the extra letter, but even so that represents a very nice profit, better than most alternatives.

And note - I see the LLL and LLLL domain markets as largely collector/investor driven. There certainly are end users, and the mobile internet, with the difficulty of typing in names, could increase their number. But investors are buying these names and, apart from renewal fees, do not care how many there are, as long as the profit is there.

thanks everyone. after reading all this, i've changed my mind. ill now hangon to them for 2-3years when their price reaches climax.

Factor in what???

I would like to look at you LLLL.com list.

Non committal on either end.

Amazing that you would have those for 10 years.

I was reading a few other threads where some folks talked about factor in this and that per year for regs etc. Are we forgetting that there were only a handful of registrars way back 10 years ago?

Probably cost around $49.00 bucks a pop! Not the seven bucks or so I see mentioned.

Bottom line, no one can say what it is worth. It is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Right now, today. 10 years from now? Same factor...what someone is willing to pay for it.

Anyone want to buy my cisco stock for what I paid for it?

Any examples of the wholesale price of these going from $0 to near $1000?, I find this a stretch.

But investors are buying these names and, apart from renewal fees, do not care how many there are, as long as the profit is there.

Of course they care how many there are, the reason why *anything* has value is due to scarcity.

I was expecting this question.
Pimy.com $1050 on Sedo mentioned above in this thread
Mtpc.com on Snap $498 now with a day to go

Of course they care how many there are, the reason why *anything* has value is due to scarcity.

If the investment growth percentage is the same, who cares how many names they own. It may be more elegant having 10 names worth $5000 each, but 260 names worth $200 each would also be nice.

It depends on how much they are growing in value (or how much potential buyers think they will grow), once the renewal fees become inconsequential. I think there is a lot of new money moving into domains. I also think LLLL.coms will attract a lot of it, if for no other reason than the holders of more valuable names are not selling.
