MDD(dot)com

Absolute top premium LLL.com combo, great Google results and tremendous acronym value. +14 years old.

Please appraise.

Brad, let's not forget Snoop likes to measure an entire market off of one sale. How much you can get has a direct relationship with who you know and what venues you try. I never saw MLL.com on Rick's newsletter, I never saw it on Eric's newsletter, I never saw it in GreatDomains or another premium auction, I never heard anyone talking about it, etc. Guess that means no trip premium with a repeat will ever sell for more than Snoop's... even if it has a monster acronym like MD (Maryland, doctor, etc).

Assuming you're not desperate for the money (which I doubt you are) then slap an over $100k price tag on it and put it in the vault for 3 or 4 years...it'll sell eventually.

I would'nt try to quick-flip a LLL.com of that quality if it was mine....there are so few.

..are you pulling domains like that out of a magicians hat or something :lol:

It was on all the forums for months, and it was on my sig on and off also. I'm simply calling the market as it is, not sure why people like yourself continue to be in denial mode, low level LLL.com's are now down to 4k and the premium market has not done better, the market has seen large falls, everyone knows it. Why keep pretending the market is higher than it is, do you really think that will help the market?

 

[bmugford]

Snoop, Michael is right. A quality domain needs solid promotion to get a good sale. If you are basically just posting it on one section of NP and in your Sig then it doesn't have the profile it takes to get a good sale.

What do you expect when you are selling to a bunch of resellers instead of trying to find an end user?

According to NameBio.com in the last 6 months the triple premium LLL.com looks pretty solid.

You definitely sold on the extremely low end of the market. I could only find one other that went for lower - EOB.com

You just said a few posts ago,

Premium LLL.com are very liquid assets. You will never have a problem selling them.

Now you talk about the need to find endusers to get a good sale?

 

[bmugford]

I am not sure what you don't understand. Being a liquid asset has nothing to do with sales price, it has to do with the ability to easily sell.

Liquid Asset - An asset, cash or otherwise, that can be converted into cash.

It is always easy to sell a quality LLL.com, especially for such a low price as you sold MLL.com for.

If you want a big sale you need an interested end user. If you are satisfied to just sell for "reseller" pricing it is a liquid asset.

So where does that leave your original appraisal,

"I think it would be pretty easy to get mid $XX,XXX right now."

Is this still what you are arguing, that this name is worth $30,000+ if sold right now?

 

[bmugford]

This will be my last post to you Snoop. You just like to be difficult.

First of all it would be easy to get Mid $XX,XXX. It is a strong name with strong acronyms and end user potential. It is certainly better than MLL.com based on acronyms alone.

It would take some effort to find the right end user, but trust me there is one for a name like that.

The bottom line is you got ripped off selling MLL.com for $15K. It was on the extremely low end of triple premium LLL.com, never mind one of that quality.

Did you even try to find an end user on MLL.com? I seriously doubt it.

Your decision to sell MLL.com for $15K means absolutely nothing to the value of this domain.

Well you said it would be "easy" to get mid $XX,XXX "right now", you seem to be now changing your argument that is what you might be able to get if you can find an enduser?

 

[bmugford]

Snoop ya just don't get it do you....

No, I think buyers at above reseller level prices are few and far between and it is not worth the time chasing prospects that haven't shown an interest, this is where domaining becomes "a job" rather than "investing", plus with acronym names it raises the legal risks. Nothing wrong with it but I don't think it is time well spent personally. I would rather save time and sell into the reseller market with 100% certainty of a sale rather than spent time chasing a sale that may never happen.

 

[bmugford]

MD = Medical Doctor, Maryland.

Those are two premium generic acronyms. That has to be factored into the value also.

It would take some effort to find the right end user, but trust me there is one for a name like that.

The problem is, as with any acronym, finding an end user is kind of like playing with fire. It's not generic, and a business has to actually have meaning for the letters to have any interest in acquiring it. I don't think "Maryland Doctor" is enough meaning to lead to a sale. At least not an easy one.

This is why I have always stayed away from meaningless acronym domains. To me, the only safe way to sell them to an end user is to wait to be approached. If you have the money, invest in generic term .com's. In my opinion, that's the best way to go if you are looking to exceed reseller pricing.

It's a nice name, but I don't think it would sell for 30k in the current market. I would look to hold this for awhile if I owned it.

 

[Michael]

edit: nvm... this is a pointless argument.

 

[Compassion]

Hold on to this one.

MDD = Medical potential. (Many recognize MD..)

$20k to $40k, but at the right time or to the right buyer, this may go for high $xx,xxx

Thanks for the appraisal, Chad.

I contacted a handful of end users last night and have already received replies declaring strong interest in this domain this morning. We'll see how it goes. I may be tempted to sell if I get a solid 5-figure offer by email/MDD webpage.

 

[ahasiec]

.....

Didn't DMG.com go for 34K last week on snapnames....I was watching the auction

 

[Federer]

Yes, triple premiums are holding their value very well amid economic conditions. There have been a few very nice $30k to $50k sales recently. Small prices for BIG end users (banks etc.).

MDD(.)com is now for sale over at Sedo.

 

[iridium]

There's no business like show-business

While I don't agree with Snoop's bearish views on the LLL market and the general consensus among the domain-blogging community (sic) to downgrade LLLs over the past couple of couple of months, I think Bmugford and Michael's positions are somewhat exaggerated on the other end of the spectrum. One should look at a reasonable middle-ground between these two extremes.

First it is important to note that, as Snoop mentioned, MLL had been on the boards for sale for quite a long time and it is not fair to say that it did not have exposure. Anyone in the business looking for acquisitions and frequenting the boards would have seen it and had a chance to make an offer. This was not one of those "I need to sell within 48h" type of sales, where IMO prices don't reflect the market value. Talk is sweet, but the reality is that at the time, nobody was willing to pay more. And to be fair, other LLLs of similar quality were selling around that price point whether on the boards, Sedo or Namejet...

Now I agree with Bmugford that you need to bring end user prices in the equation. What makes quality LLLs attractive and a good long term investment is that each one has such a vast amount of potential end user usage. The end user base is global and you don't need to worry about language barriers. And if you look at what kind of end users typically enjoy using such acronyms it is clear we are dealing mostly with high-end clients.
This is why setting mid to high five-figure price targets for such quality LLLs is far from being unrealistic, and also why there has always been a flow of private transactions going on at six-figure levels. This is obviously not a very liquid market at those levels, but it is clearly a good reason to buy and hold quality LLLs.

Now getting back to MDD.COM and it's appraisal, I think $30-40k looks like a good price target in the current environment.

Now getting back to MDD.COM and it's appraisal, I think $30-40k looks like a good price target in the current environment.

Thanks for the solid appraisals, guys. I will maybe hold a while unless I get a solid 5-figure offer. I don't think the credit crunch is affecting very much triple-premiums with good end user potential. MDD seems to be a nice one; just have to try and keep patient for this one, not easy though
