Sold all premium letter VCVC pattern .com for $22,500 via afternic BIN, $18,875 after their commission.

Received email on 16th that it is sold and today, just in 2 days, payment was already disbursed.

Amazing job by Afternic on this.

Will share the name shortly.

great sale on anem

Great job figuring it out... Indead it was A/N/E/M dot com

Perfectly pronounceable, great pattern, great letter combination. Meaningful too (means Wind, life, same origin as "animation"). Good luck to whoever will use it. In fact, I was just about to use it for my own business, but at this price I am ok to look for an alternative :)

By the way, all my $20K+ sales have happened with the names I planned to use myself and hence set high price and was firm with it )

Great sale @Recons.Com Could you tell us how many 4L.com you have and sales percentage per year. Its could be great guide for others

Thank you. I have about 200 LLLL.coms. I sell about 1%-2% a year at end user prices and another 2-3% at small margin of 20%-100% to other investors.

This particular name was purchased in a batch of 64 names 2 years ago.

Thank you. Not sure. It says "... has sold through the Afternic network" in the email.

ok no prob

it never ceases to amaze me.. without wanting to sound phislophical.. how for many of our sales.. the sale occurs (or not) simply because it is listed at some particular place.. maybe im the only one who considers this.. but does the thought ever cross your mind that had you not listed it on afternic, and/or at bin (thus making it go to yet another 100s of places), then your domain MAYBE woudl still be unsold?

I guess this brings us back to good old principle.. there is no succh thing as too much exposure for our domains

of course I don't mean some whois based email inquiry.. which would occur anyway.. but so much stuff is selling simply because it is listed at some specific location :)

I guess it just makes you wonder!

Wow im very impressed. I could only ever dream of a sale like that. Well done indeed

Thank you! Excluding "sucker punch" sales, it is mostly numbers game + frugality + right choices + analysis of what works and what doesn't. And there is a considerable cost of learning curve.

I seen your comments at various places. Your comments are always worth to learn something from. Even in today's time we can find some good prnounceable 4L.com for $175-$500 range. Super premium little more like CVCV without "Q" & "X". Biggest mistake other friends are making is when there is a trend they buy anything (Non-pronounceable) and end up selling for what average price of the market is. It is better to pay $50-$100 or even anything to buy pronounceable 4L.com than any odd 4L.com.

Just sharing as good friend to all other friends. Just an opinion. No suggestion.

Thanks

Thank you for your kind words.

I know we share similar taste for 4l )

And I don't mind discussions on the thread )

I don't mind Q in pronounceable. Some I own are Qold, Qeod, Qiyy, Qend, Puqs, ivqi, Alaq, qMen. X can work nicely too, like Ohax, Axot, eiax, Oxev etc

nice!
thanks
we're all here to learn so you have the right spirit for sure
sharing is good
:)

so what sale price experience do you have or know of, regarding VCCV? any prefered letters in there?

from what I see in public sales.. VCCV do not seem all that valuable.

ty

I personally like vccv. They are not any harder to pronounce than the fabled CVCV ))

Examples used by companies Anki, Orbi, Arlo, Efty, Aldo, Ulta

It's a good sale, you are on the winning end of that one, I would have no issue moving on, and using the money to buy 5 more like it.

any idea if this was direct afternic market or came through one of their countless network distributed bin pricings?

Thank you. Not sure. It says "... has sold through the Afternic network" in the email.

Nice one, and it's nice to read about a bulk-buy return, good Investment.

That was brave of you to price high, I must admit I would have probably been that low to mid X,XXX seller for four letters

Thank you ) Out of around 1300 names I currently own, there are about 50 that I have my own plans of usage. While I do put some of them for sale, I price them higher than I normally would, factoring in the time and cost of finding the replacement.
