LLLL pipe dreams!

[hawkeye]

I found this site today, and I'm sorry, but I just don't see or get these prices. Am I missing something here on LLLL's, or is somebody else missing something!

Just curious as to why the high expectations on these LLLL's. Also feel the title is somewhat off base here too. (no offense to the site owner)

 

[Ja$on]

List them high, hope he gets lucky.

 

[bmugford]

Yeah, good luck on those prices....

I have to disagree with you on all points here. These are classy domains and have real brandable value. CVCV four letter .coms make excellent brands and domains. The aim of the site is not to sell to resellers, classydomains is obviously a site set up to attract potential end users for these domains. I am a bit puzzled why they would say no negotiation is possible at these prices. I guess it tells the audience that they are not looking to make a quick flip on these premium types of LLLL.com. They are looking for serious buyers.

More power to classydomains.com those ARE great domains on their homepage. I expect them to do quite well.

If you look at the names a lot of them could be for example be used as the character name of a comic, a video game, ..
Imagine Walt Disney select one of these name for his next cimema production.
If this happen I am sure we will comment the purchase was a steal, exact?

The idea is not sell a name everyday nor now, just offer the largest possible choice to potential buyers (not domainers).

Nicedomains has it right. That website has been around a while and it's obvious they are not in the game to sell wholesale prices. If they can just get a couple/few sales a year they would be doing well. The names are all nice and they present them all nice.

Sure, I guess they could be used for such. And I guess so could catchy LLLLL's and LLLLLL's too! And 'if' is really the keyword in your analogy of defense of your marketing plan imo.

I'm not saying someone will or won't pay these prices, weirder things have happened in domain sales. Setting (high?) prices with 'no negotiating hassles', for 'brandable' non-dictionary words, is somewhat limiting and stretching one's intentions, but again, 'anything' is possible.


I was just curious to the pricing expectations for LLLL's (your), not critiquing them.

 

[cybertonic]

In fact I also added catchy LLLLL and LLLLL at the begining but quickly the site started to lost of his interest.
As you know the valuation of brandable names is for +90% personnal taste.
Thus domainers started to ask me to list their names that I did not find catchy , it was not easy to tell my feeling when the owner was so enthousiast...
So I decided I will only list pronounceable CVCV.com for sale.

There is an interest offering an inventory of domains for sale having a strong relationship and I invite domainers to create mini stores of themed domains.

They are some nice names..But over priced, even from an end users perspective. JMHO..You can get much more brandable names (for example, that color.com or colors.com that sold on sedo) for a bit more money. Not seeing these aren't great names but yes, they are over priced

I agree, I have seen this list before... and the domains are very brandable... the pricing is correct in my books to end users... the owner is not interested in reseller value / aftermarket value...

 

[Shenron]

Correct!

If I owned those names I'd surely be listing them for a very high price, as renewing shouldn't be a problem and $10k here and there helps paying the fees... :p

35 names there + 6 on the footer == 41 * $8 == $330 per year....

10 years == $3300

100 years == $33000

I guess 1 sale pays that. :kickass:

 

[italiandragon]

That`s a site for endusers, and its domains are great.

If you disagree than you have to ask to Rick how he sold iReport.com for that price.

You may also check another site as well :

Nucom.com

I enquired about a few nice names there in the past and they aske dme like $25,000 for a CVCV.com

 

[whitebark]

The owner is a successful domainer - and by the prices you can see why.

 

[hawkeye]

interesting. Seems to be a 'tone' of how-dare-someone-question-LLLL-values in some replies. Kinda deja vu of another thread area.

The validity of the sites owner or knowledge was not the point in query here, but rather what was the validity of asking such prices (with a notation of non-negotiable) for LLLL's. A majority of dictionary and most LLL's don't command those prices, except in domainer dreams, or unless they are special or real prime. (And I know one can ask what they want) However I don't believe things like - 'the names are nice', 'it's because he's selling to endusers', 'if I owned them I'd sell them high', 'he's a successful domainer' would encourage an enduser to quickly ask 'where do I sign??'. He'd want some logical justification. So short of the LLLL rah-rah cheers, is it just simply 'if you don't ask, you don't get' good money that quantifies such pricing? Or is there some 'formula/precident' for pricing them. Seems someone would have to do a lot of talking, to keep convincing prospective's, that each made-up name is worth that price. imo.

 

[gwkg]

The logos are nice =)

 

[Krossat]

Well they are definitely overpriced for resellers.
And as some members pointed out, they Might be right for end users. In fact, I would like to know how does one arrive at whats "right" for end users? Heck the guy might list each name for $50k for all that matters, how do you "calculate" whats right for end users?

 

[raredn.com]

Does anyone know the highest CVCV.com sales prices recorded so far?

All I can say is that you are missing the BRANDING point of view. These are short brandable domain names where an end user can sell them like crazy and people will get it.

Not trying to back LLLL market or whatever, I just don't see your point of argument.

At this price, they will have to wait to get an end user, but if I am disney and I want to do something funky, I will buying LiDY.com, MOKY.com, DUNY.com or DOFA.com to market my new product. Why not, they are just $30K when I am a big corporation; why in the heck would I want a name longer than 4 letter and why in the heck would I want a name shorter than that (CCC) that doesn't make sense?

I really like their logos and clean simple design for their website. On occasion I design fast temporary logos for eBay auctions, however, their logos are very inspirational. I am now thinking of creating a few good ones for my favorite domains.

As to their prices, good, brandable domains are valuable, so why not stick a high price tag on them. Once their gone, they are gone, however, who knows, even if it took 10 years to sell one, their investment is only about $70 in reg. fees, so no big loss on a $30,000 domain. And, perhaps in 10 years, their prices may look cheap.
