Not to be difficult, but you might change your title to 3Letter.com sales - as otherwise folks will come here looking for 3char.com sales, or won't be interested if they are 3Letter people.

How come sji.com only went for 4.4k? I was under the impression that these 3 letter names go for 10k+?

Perhaps it wasn't a very recent auction...give it a year and pretty much alll LLL.com will be close to 10k as a base price.

 

[gazzip]

At the drops it all depends on who/how many people have backordered the name + these were sometime in 2005 I beleive.

Ah. So i see. If the prices are going to continue to double every year, whey are people selling their names now? Why not wait?

Opportunity cost, of course. There is also risk -- it's not certain that prices will double (heck, anything could happen in a year.) A lot of people diversify into traffic names or ccTLDs from large holdings of LLL.coms and others are happy to take a quick flip profit. To each, his or her own...

I cant help but agree. Well though out post. Though if i ever get my hand on a LLL.anything im going to hold onto it until the market stops growing and is at a stand still.

Some folks sell to take their profit and move on, but many are moving into the buy and hold mode with LLL domains (in all the top extensions). These holders are typically well funded individuals or companies, and as they hold, the supply available on the resale/wholesale market continues to dimish, and prices rise with strong continued demand.

Thinking back on this, I can recall a few conversations about 4 years back with others as we speculated as to whether LLL.com's would ever be worth $1000 or more minimum (for even the worst combos). Needless to say, $1000 for an LLL.com is now a long ago dream.

The new specuation is to how long it will be that LLL.com's will be selling for $xx,xxx minimum. The mapped trends show value growth for LLL.com's to be growing consistently at about 70% to 80% a year. Looking forward, an analysis of the charts suggest that this might likely happen somewhere within the next 1.5 to 2.5 years.

As a reference, I've posted a chart, which will be updated again at the first of the year, at this link:
www.3character.com/3-letter-domain-name-sales-history.html

Fewer and fewer LLL domains are coming up for sale as time goes by. As more go to end-users, and other LLL combos are resold less and less, prices will likely continue to grow.

Great thread and hope this helps,

Something i do not understand is, if the names are all registered, then why does the price continue to grow. Its not like people are getting them every day, they have been bought out, now they just sti there?

Pertly because as more and more of them become bought up by end users and taken off the market there are fewer available for purchase.

Its basic Supply and Demand. As the demand increases (more domainers in the market) the prices will continue to rise because there is a fixed amount of LLL.com's. So more and more people want them, but there are never anymore to be found.

I know I will be hanging onto mine unless the right price comes along.

Great post, Zesty. The market does have its limitations, of course (and there is risk), but this shows that we still have a lot of growth before we reach any equilibrium point.

I think the LLL.com market is very strong.....

But.....

There are cycles to every market. The hard part isn't buying things that will appreciate (hard enough, that) the true test is when to sell. By the time you notice that a market is "at a standstill" it is too late, the buyers are already gone, and you will take a big loss over what you could sell for a little earlier.

I think it was Baron Rothschild who said the best advice is to sell early.

Not too early --- let the winners grow, but all markets fall and when they do they often fall so fast that all you can do is watch. That is why some LLL.com owners occasionally take some of their money off the table.

TGN.com sold by a friend of mine for 75K (I think he would have got more for it, IMO). I wish I got one (LLL.com) way back when, and that was not too long ago.
