LLLL.coms... Predictions

[OddTop]

Are LLLL.com's good to invest in? IF I can get mediocre domains like.. UPCY.com, will it be worth something more someday?

I'd hate it if in 10 years decent LLLL.coms were selling for 500-600 dollars and I didn't invest in any.

Any predictions on where this market is going?

Is something like qtbe.com considered brandable? or pronounceable?
if so, it's still unregged --- oh no....sorry, I just checked again and
a domibot scooped it since my last check on it . What's a domibot?
and how did it know what I searched?

Great resource, thanks!

I agree that 4L .com's that are pronounceable, brandable, or an acronym will have the greatest appreciation in value down the road. I'm not convinced these will ever approach the value of the 3L as there are too many available.

If you guys want to keep track of how many 4 letter .com's are being regged and dumped back into the pool you can check out the domain bash link in my sig, then go to the "unregistered domains" page - the list is broken down A-Z, and at the top of each page is the update record - when the update was done, and how many were available at the time of the update.

For example, here's the update info for all 4 letter .com starting with A:

This list was compiled on: 4-22-06
4-22-06 Update: 804 of 17,576 available for registration.
4-10-06 Update: 829 of 17,576 available for registration.
4-04-06 Update: 979 of 17,576 available for registration
3-29-06 Update: 1,143 of 17,576 available for registration.

then the available list follows....

as you can see, from the time of the first update on 3-29-06, to the last update (today) 339 (4 letter .com starting with A) have been registered.

Enjoy-

Personally, I would reg (assuming I had the money) any LLLL that is pronunciable, has all premium letters, or would lend itself to an ancronym.

agreed there. I have a nice wee collection of pronouncable 4 letter .coms now. I accidently backordered woqo.com on pool last week but i really like it now as it is very easy to type (try it yourself :hehe: ) and i heard loco.com went for $50,000 on sedo i think

I'm expecting the 4 letter domains to run out next year. Around this time last year there were 140000 available unregistered 4 letter domains and now there is less than 90000. I believe that the rate of purchasing unregistered 4 letter domains is slowly accelerating but they are being purchased in a wave like fashion where one week will have a lot registered and will often be followed by a quiet week.

As the number of 4 letter domains available drops, the criteria of what makes a 4 letter domain worth registering improves. I think that in 6 months time you will see that random non premium letters will be OK for some people who are registering 4 letter domains. My belief is that the market of tomorrow currently don't know what a domain name is and have none and when they enter the domain name market they will want any 4 letter domain for their site as they will know that it is a safe investment (the domain will retain it's value).

When I started discussing 4 letter domains early June last year, I had people telling me that domains like eayz.com weren't worth anything more than reg fee. I've turned down an offer for $70 for the domain as I know that I can sell it for more than that. I wouldn't underestimate the value of random non premium letters in a rush.

ManicGirl, I like your site too

My blog on unregistered 4 letter domains

 

[JYM]

thanks for the site manic.

Maybe i'll take a random pick, and hopefully I'll choose a good 4-letter .com.. my chances are...oh.. they're not bad, only 1 in 2000.

I was just thinking about how much ESPN.com would be worth... frankly I probably would have overlooked it if it was available a long time ago.

Not expect good return on it....there is 26*26*26 LLL.com while 26*26*26*26 LLLL.com, so, using a basic caculation...

if LLL using 10 years from reg fee to now 2600$ per name,
then LLLL using 10 year can from reg fee to 100$ per name...

this is a base caculation, but u also need consider both LLL and LLLL have lots of random one, but LLL is easy to remember, thus, at the value of LLL and LLLl is not 26 times, it may be 50 times....

of couse, I am talk those random name only, not saying about wiki.com or coco.com,
so, play the gambling, choose the best one as u can....pronoucable, brandable, the combination is easy to remember like have duplicate letter......or well meaningful abbreviation...etc

Well dont be too excited about loco.com went for $50K, loco is "dude" or something like that in spanish :P

No i didnt mean mine was worth that

I was just giving an example

if LLL using 10 years from reg fee to now 2600$ per name,
then LLLL using 10 year can from reg fee to 100$ per name...

That equation doesn't work very well, because in 10 years LLL.com's will be selling for 20k a piece. (Seriously, try to imagine 10 years of the internet - thats forever!)

With a market that is so expensive, decent LLLL.coms will be worth $400-$500. (1/26th of 20k is $770). Besides, like others have said, LLLL.coms are already worth $100 in many cases (Most of the LLLL.com domains that expired and don't have Xs Zs or Qs are being snached up by pool every day).

In my experience LLLL.coms also have some traffic. I just bought Jirf.com a couple of days ago and already have 20 hits. It pays for its own reg fee .

In conclusion, stay the hell away from this market, I don't want competition.

There are still some good 4 letter domains out there, get them quick!

I've just regged pukt.com

 

[MCDomains]

it's all about .com!

I've been following a random sample of 4,469 LLLL.com's for about 22 days now:

the # available has gone from 843 to 783 ...

I think 4,469 names is a good enough sample... over the 22 days the % of available names overall has gone from 18.86% to 17.52% ... it's fun to watch them slowly disappear!

I am so annoyed about not regging jirf.com when i saw it


Why did i not go for it.

 

[2Cunning]

i managed to get eerz.com, just going to sit on it and hope

 

[DreamWeb]

I regged today Dilq.com and Qbli.com

I think next year there will no any LLLL avaliable, so it would be first step in price rising

 

[MCDomains]

I think next year there will no any LLLL avaliable, so it would be first step in price rising

I think it will take longer than that ... but it will happen, though!

 

[Sniffey]

i have mehx.com, jehx.com, lehx.com, hahx.com,

i think if i got an offer of $20-25 for each i might have to accept the offer, or do you guys think it pays alot more to just sit on them for a year or 2?

 

[iggy]

:hehe:

And i get new :gn: s:

urtn.com, fgpw.com, zwaw.com

I think it will take longer than that ... but it will happen, though!

I hope so

:imho: it`s reaonable to reg different kinds of domains

- LLLL.com`s
- brandable 2-3word.com`s
- keywordable ones in new extensions like .in .es .eu
- Local ccTLD

if one kind of them will prove weak investment other ones will refund reg fees and make profits.

Anyway each domain is risk to loose reg fee, but chanse to win much more so i think it`s gambling but not waste of money
