NNNN/LLLL with mixed numbers and letters

[aramyus]

What criteria do you use to decide if a 4 letters .com domain is worth buying or not when the domain has mixed numbers and letters

I am not talking of the obvious cases such as 247x.com or Z1Z1.com, but rather more obscure combinations such as fp45.com, v845.com, esx3.com bsi1.com all registered recently.

I see on namebio that many such domains reach prices well above 100$. Is there a way to have a quick idea of their value ? Are there any combinations to avoid (may be something like t2q7.com) ?

What are the best methods to sell such domains ? (eg: NameJet, godaddy, sedo, direct contact, wait to be contacted by a buyer...)

There are 1,500,625 combinations of CCCC.coms, will this ever have a liquid domains? I personally don't think so, at least not soon. However, the "obvious cases" you listed have some value.

 

[aramyus]

any other suggestion ?

Most 'experienced' domainers don't chase these types of domains. You 'may' find one, or two, with some value, but.. why chase 'maybe there's some value' domains, when you could be putting your energy and dollars into domains that are more valuable and resellable.

The value lies in name like MD88.com or VN99.com, these for the most part are a Chinese play and the right combos absolutely go for good prices, you need to have some insight and spend some time learning these names. To just reg anything won't work.

MD88.com closed on DropCatch for $2,320
VN99.com sold for $10,000 on Sedo.

I spend about 10 hours a week researching these types of names, there are some that sell for $12 where you think the combo was decent and another one that doesn't look great closes at $500.

Ideally you want to find double any number besides 4 so a name like TY55.com is worth getting if you can find it cheap, on Go Daddy or DropCatch the Chinese are going to bid these names up, you have to get lucky other places. BJ for Beijing or HK for Hong Kong are desirable starting letters along with repeating same letter like AA or ZZ.

The only time you even look at LNLN is when they are repeating X8X8.com sure, x3g8.com No.

Sedo had a few in their weekly sales list today:

cp68.com 2,495 USD
cp178.com 2,195 USD
a1122.com 2,095 USD
kj007.com 1,995 USD
Mi888.com 999 USD

Thanks to all for your help.

I get them by accident.

What are the best methods to sell such domains ? (eg: NameJet, godaddy, sedo, direct contact, wait to be contacted by a buyer...)

Any recommendation on that ? (Assuming I put my hand on something valuable)

fp45.com, v845.com, esx3.com bsi1.com

I was also wondering why such domains were registered recently. Could it be a company/product acronym ?


To Admin: I thought it was a beginner question... Sorry for misplacing it

 

[aramyus]

fp45.com, v845.com, esx3.com bsi1.com

cp68.com 2,495 USD
cp178.com 2,195 USD
a1122.com 2,095 USD
kj007.com 1,995 USD
Mi888.com 999 USD

Do you have an explanation for such high prices ?

I can understand MI888.com because of the regularity), cp68.com (few LLNN left) but what about a1122.com or cp178.com when there are dozens of free domains LNNNN or LLNNN ? Does it has something to see with Chinese buyers ?

As far as I can tell ALL repeating nnll and llnn combinations are gone I have been searching for thing like jr77 or oo13 and nothing really seems to be available

You are right: domains with a regular pattern like LL11, LL22... or aaNN, bbNN are all taken

But the recent sales (cp68.com, cp178.com, a1122.com...) have a very ordinary patterns. I really wonder what is the profile of the buyers and why they reach very significant prices.

 

[DnEbook]

Buyers have different motives, could be a project label or other meanings? I can see why perhaps a1122 is wanted by someone, repeating patterns and first letter of the alphabet .... the beginning
~
I prefer the lower numbers as well .....interesting stuff for sure

There are not few LLNN left there are quite a few, there is no explanation on the prices someone needed it or liked it, domaining is very random many spend their whole time looking for answers that simply don't exist.

The same letter and two numbers AA83 or two letters, repeating number MD88.com are desirable, anything you can find with 88 is definitely worthwhile. But it is very random especially if you don't speak Chinese and not a part of their culture. I have seen LLNN sell for $12 where good letter combo and number, then another name sells for four figures and there is no real rhyme or reason on the surface. I have spoken to some native Chinese and they reply "I don't know why" So you have to look at how many can you buy and renew year in and year out ? There is no end user to target.

I used to think the same about 3 character domain,,,, no end user but the market has stayed strong, I can not find any repeating LLNN domains eg 22oe or ff23

 

[aramyus]

thanks to all for your explanations

Yes repeating is what has been the best, I picked up AA92.com over a month ago. I could have handregged py00.com sat with a tab open for weeks but then checked and it was registered. I like double zero the least.

 

[Priyank]

What about JJ2C.COM

 

[DnEbook]

What about JJ2C.COM

It's a raffle ....but they are all gone (nnLL/LLnn) ,,, as far as I am concerned

 

[yes ofcourse]

There is less then 5% of NLLL.com available. PM me for a list you are interested in from today.
