I'm going to start this off. I just bought over 1,000 NNNNN.com's today, all were German postal codes. I am hoping to hold these as a long term investment and possibly develop or sell them down the road. I also have a portfolio of other NNNNN.com's that I am already making money on cash parking with. As it stands, there are less than 19,000 NNNNN.com's left, out of only 100,000 total (far less than the 450,000+ LLLL.com's which have already sold out). So most of the NNNNN.com's are gone, and all the 1NNNN.com's are gone and over 90% of the 2NNNN.com's are already gone. The NNNNN.com's are the next category of domain real estate on the net to go.

Why buy an NNNNN.com? A number of reasons:

1) You will get cash parking revenue even on totally random numbers. I have had very good cash parking success with my NNNNN.com's so far, some even consistently bring in large amounts >$2-5/day, and I haven't even figured out yet why so many people are typing in these numbers so I can set appropriate keywords to make even more.

2) Lucky numbers, very big in many cultures including China, where lucky number domains have been bought for $$$.

3) Numbers make words when spelled on cell phones, and this market has just started to take off (466453.com brings you to GOOGLE.COM):

4) Lots of foreign countries have 5 digit postal codes and this is a potential source for type-in traffic as well as development of related content,

5) US zip code NNNNN.com's are very valuable and the postal service keeps adding new ones, so a number that it not very important today could be a large zip code tomorrow.

6) A number is easy to remember and completely brandable, quite possibly more so than some of those bizarre LLLL.com's which are going for so much,

7) Numbers mean things, finances, product numbers, birthdays, prices, and so much more,

8) There is a very limited total supply of NNNNN.com domains, and the vast majority are already gone, so it is just a matter of time before they are all taken. All the NNNN.com domains are gone and are now valuable, don't miss out on NNNNN.com's!

Where to start with numeric domains?

Huge database of foreign postal codes, many NNNNN's available here

Phone Spell tool (type in a number and see what words it spells on a phone) here

Numbers in Chinese culture here

Guide to Numeric Domains here

Another good tool is google's adwords keywords tool, see the search volume for NNNNN's and whether advertisers are paying for them, here

Please post other resources for people hunting for NNNNN.com's.

Since this is a countdown thread, I better give some numbers. As of this morning, there were 19,346 NNNNN.com's available based on a scan of all NNNNN.com's (100,000 total). I have registered 1,032 since then. So to my knowledge there are 18,314 available now.

Although the number 4 is considered unlucky in Asia, 54 sounds like "not die" in Cantonese (according to a Wikipedia page).

Because of all the buying activity, these "latest availability lists" aren't all they're cracked up to be :)

But here's one: www.domainmagnate.com/lists/NNNNN_Remaining_5826.txt

Enjoy!

I'll still be running a scan on those...
I picked up a few with nice wayback records. Even got some with OVT scores in DRT

Yep, a good number of the top Chinese sites are numerics in the .com TLD. Even some NNNNN's.


I wanted to illustrate how so many top Chinese websites have numbers in them

Posted some more foreign postal codes that are available. Enjoy!

And here is a list of more available NNNNN's that are available in .com but already taken in .net (some have developped Chinese websites).

It's possible that there are lurkers who aren't signed up so they can't give rep. Maybe they don't understand. Anyways, we all appreciate your posts.

Just curious, are you guys all broke from buying these? Don't have $35K to invest in this, or just scared of the potential liquidity of the domains, but why not just spend $35K to buy up the last of them and double your money, I just want to hear some opinions on how much you guys invested in them, and your logic behind it.

I myself have about 800 of them and am thinking about buying a lot more

wow 800 is quite a number. I bought 40...still a decent weight in my total portfolio....

I bought 20, which is a lot for a 20 year old college student who is supported by his parents.

I look at this as a small investment, 800 is about $5K investment.

I look as this investment as an alternative to putting $5K into a mutual fund or buying some shares of a stock for a year. Except, I see this as a much more profitable and secure way of doing it.

So 800 domains may seem like a lot, but if you think about it, its only a measly $5,000 ...and when the prices double, it will only be a gain of $5,000 so I am wondering why the big boys don't just come in and buy the remaining 5,000 domains for $35K

the fact is that I have other hundreds of domains in other niches. This is still asort of gamble so I prefer to be careful throwing too many eggs in one basket (I wish I would have done it with LLLL.com when I had the chance to...I take a rather conservative approach to diversify risk...)

Gotta say I'm thinking about it too. I already bought a large chunk of the market and probably own about 2k of these now. Maybe it's that class on antitrust regulation from college :) but I have a knee-jerk reaction against owning too much of the market. Now how much is too much is another question. Domaining is sort of a side-hobby/investment thing for me, and I don't really want to spend all of my time managing 4-5k domains, even if it would probably be more profitable to own more. Can't say I'm not tempted though!

Below 5k?

I think we may have dropped below 5k. Using the latest list of available ones (5,826), I just scanned a minute ago and came up with only 4,968 left. Now, some may have dropped in the last few hours and I wouldn't have caught those in my scan.

"Silly" questions are OK. I'm new too. People here are very friendly.

N = number
L = letter

LLLL.com = dot com with 4 letters (i.e., damo.com, pane.com, lime.com)
NNNNN.com = dot com with 5 numbers (i.e., 92626.com, 69691.com, 12345.com)

Not at all, welcome to the party! NNNNN.com is a five digit number followed by .com. You are witnessing the vanishing of these domains. There are 100,000 total possibilities 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10. One company owns about 60% of them (all the US zip codes, like 90210.com etc.) and a week ago there were about 20,000 left. Since then there has been a buying frenzy and there are less than 5,000 left now. People are buying them for a number of reasons, (1) they get decent type-in traffic, meaning people type in numbers for all sorts of reasons and will end up on your website, which you can make money from in cash parking, (2) the Chinese love numbers and many developed number websites are big in China, 173.com sold for over $300,000 last week, (3) numbers represent words on cell phones and this is a developing market and (4) once all the NNNNN.com's are bought out it is expected they will rise in value. All the LLLL.com's (four letter domains) were bought out a few months ago, and there are a lot more of these (over 450,000 total) than NNNNN.com's. After the LLLL.com buyout, prices for those have gone up to more than $50-$60 even for non-premium (i.e. really bad) letters, like XJZQ.com. So there is a lot of money to be had by registering NNNNN.com's right now for only $7-$8 per site, they could be selling for double that or 10x that in a year or two easily.

On my blog I have a discussion of the future for NNNNN.com domains that you might want to read.

There is also a good discussion here

I also encourage you to read back at earlier posts in this thread, as there is a lot of good information and links regarding NNNNN.com's, as well as a stunning history of them all being bought out very fast.

And if you want to buy them, you better move fast, next week there probably won't be any you can register, you will have to pay inflated prices to those of us that have bought them already!

I should add that there is a list of available (as of a few hours ago, another 1,000 have been taken since then) NNNNN.com's here

If you want to buy these in bulk you can cut and paste into godaddy's bulk search (or any other registrar that has bulk registration) and you should get a discount for buying a lot. I bulk registered by NNNNN.com's through godaddy and am using their cash parking service to make money on them now.
