State of LL.com's after Traffic Auction

[matt_bodis]

This is the result of LL.com's after Traffic East Auction in October 2006, just a few months ago:

VB.com - $130,000
FJ.com - $105,000
TJ.com - $105,000
HB.com - $100,000
WO.com - $65,000

And now the result of LL.com's after Traffic West, March 2006:

ET.com - $225,000
OL.com - $150,000
UB.com - $129,420
PX.com - $120,000
QZ.com - $76,000


I think we are seeing some real improvements in this market. Quality domains such as HB, OL, etc went from 100k to 150k. The worser quality such as WO, PX went from 65k to 120k each.

Roughly a 50k increase in value in a very short amount of time. I think the market is in high demand of LL.com's at this point!

LL.com did very well.

Rising as always....

I think these really displayed the strength of these names, lets not forget it was resellers, speculators, "domainers," at traffic, not end users for these LL.com's.

were there any people from this board scored any of these?

I have one in the silent auction. My reserve is pretty high however.

You have a LL.com in the silent?
Did you not want it in the live auction, or was it not selected due to your high reserve?
And just FWIW, I think the previous poster was asking if anyone here bought any of them.

(And oh yeah - buyer 216 took 3 of the LL.com's , so there wasn't much spread from the buyers' sides of things)

LL.com did well; however, the LL.nets did poorly.

Moniker made the decision, not me.
Reserve is 'reasonable' and under the amounts paid in live auction. So we will see.

It's probably a good thing you kept your reserve to a reasonable price and not a bare minimum. As we can see with JVU.com and Europe.mobi, a super low reserve price may get you into the auction, but it also may get your domain sold at a price way below what you expect it should sell for.

I have a feeling this TRAFFIC convention attracted some more LL.com connoisseurs after the weak prices they went for last time. If I had the money, I would have invested the couple thousand to go to Traffic and get a LL.com for tens of thousands of dollars less than true market value too. I think there were simply more people in the hunt for them this time, hence the higher prices. After all, little has really changed from the last TRAFFIC to this one. That's my thought anyways.

A new one was added to the list, UB.com, which went for 129k+ in the Silent Auction.

I think the future is bright for LL.com's. Not so bright for LL.net's. Quality LL.com's are now worth 150k+ IMO. Average LL.com's 120k-150k. The bad LL.com's which consist of 2 bad letters are worth 75k-100k.

LL.com did well; however, the LL.nets did poorly.

Amen .......

I'm not even a .net fan overall ..... But I was shocked at those prices.

I think the future is bright for both LL.com and LL.net. Someone clearly put in low reserves on the LL.nets hoping to get them into the live auction and get a bidding war going. Bargains were had - not necessarily reflective of their true value.
