The Hidden Potential of CVCV.com

A small preview

This posts discusses the unique potential of the top quality CVCV.com names and provides valuable tips and updates on where to get them at bargain prices.

LLLL.com remains the most frequently traded type of domains between domainers on the forums and it’s thus important to know the prices and be aware of the market trends and potential.

High end 4L.com’s names, mostly cvcv.com had the highest increase as of lately and it’s not surprising. There are only 2500 quad premium (e.g. only containing the premium letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T) CVCV.com domains (consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel, e.g. topa.com, dola.com, nama.com etc.). Out of these names containing H and F are lesser quality. Another 2100 cvcv domains consist of the above letters and one of: U, K;..more

Any comments are welcome, hope this is the right forum, if not mods please move.

Great post. Thanks for taking your time to talk about this. You are right on about the CVCV.com, these were the hidden jewels.

On the contrary, I think cvcv.com has the least increase in terms of percentage compared with other LLLL.com.

Great post.

CVCV's are great ones. I have doubts that its market will be going down anytime in future. In fact in last 3 months it has moved up.

 

[Andrei P.]

Of course CVCV.com are greate but only if they are easily pronouncable. I won't pay for HIQY more than 50$ today. And it's dumb to pay large amounts of money for CVCVs that because of pattern. There are a lot of cheaper domains but more brandable among VCVC, CVCC, CCVV etc.

Thanks guys, glad you like the article

True, and that's another indication of hidden potential and stable prices growth.

The growth rate in cvcv.com prices was comparable to that of LLL.com's, although still higher due to the buyout etc.
Good time to buy them now as I expect them to become more popular and more frequently traded.

I’m completely agreeing with Ergo. I have noticed recently so many CVCV domain sales for higher price purely due to CVCV trends.

In case I having domains a like Hiqy, I even quote $500-800 range, but a buyer need to make a wise decision when he is investing money on such domains based on market trends.

Michael, I like your way to valuate a CVCV.com, same applicable to all domains, just pronounce it - does it sound like something you’d like to call your company?

 

[-REECE-]

Nice write-up Michael

I particularly liked the example of comparing them to the lowest quality LLL.coms -- these seem like a no-brainer in comparison!

Agree 100%. Another very underpriced category is imho VCVV -- names like ICIA.

In addition the pattern of CVVC is often overlooked.

Reos.com for example was sold for $25K recently.

So, after the 3 chars price guide JOKE , now there is this other increasing JOKE that the letter F is not premium.

You guys do realise what JOKE is becoming all of this?

In the mean time, another CVCV sold at SEDO for $3,000 :

KONA.info

YES , .info , the most UNDERVALUED CVCV niches in the domain world that every now and then pops out these nice sales.

Kona is also a Hawaiian coffee and a brand of bicycles

The first thing the comes to my mind when I see KONA is coffee.

the new whois does not seems to be one of them

Ok, not in Italy and not in Australia.


Like the other time LUCI.com : the seller did not even know that it meant "lights" in Italian.

I hate this thing, it seems 99.9 % of American domainers thinks that only USA exists in the World.

 

[DomainMagnate]

LUCI sounds to me like a name.


yeah that's also true as DNBro mentioned, other pronounceable LLLL.com names are great for end users: dell, ford.

They are harder to count though, to get some statistics.. maybe in another post :D In fact you can even get better deals on these now

Don`t confuse LUCI with:

LUCIA (italian female name)
LUCIO (italian male name)
LUCY (English female name)

 

[recluse99]

its good to see some big sales, but I always wonder when people quote the selling price - if it was a website/with domain name or just the domain name?
because a website doing biz is worth alot more than just a name... maybe we can come up with a way to distinquish when its just a name being sold -no website...

thanks for the great article Michael!

i agree but you are a litlle bit radical here, Andrei

all of us are in LLLL.com know HIQY,com has a value over $50 even if you dont like it and i thinkg you are talking about the "Q" not because of the "Y" in the end as you have at least one CVCV ending in "Y"
it is important to segregate feelings from business (the value of the domains)... i would buy a name i dont like if it has value
i agree there are other patterns of LLLL.com have many brandable names though and they are cheap right now and they will be much more expensive in the future

you already told they are words not LLLL.com so if you are talking about their value you cant compare words with any other LLLL.com niche

about other companies' names are not CVCV
-> first of all people who creats the brands are not domainers so they just dont know what a CVCV is
-> they have millions even billions to spend with ads we see everywhere and it is just impossible not to remember of them when we just see their logos

I hate this thing, it seems 99.9 % of American domainers thinks that only USA exists in the World.

i agree with you Lorenzo
the worst part here is sometimes people sell names for much less than they could sell for as it seems english is the only language in the internet
but thats not my loss, i try to do a good homework before selling a name

LUCI sounds to me like a name.

Don`t confuse LUCI with:

LUCIA (italian female name)
LUCIO (italian male name)
LUCY (English female name)

Michael is right Lorenzo
LUCI is a popular name here in Brazil

What about DKNY, IKEA. I think that it is much more important how LLLL.com sound rather than it is CVCV. Compare LEKU and UKEL, KELA and AKEL, NETU and UNET. At least I don't think that these VCVCs are worse thatn CVCVs. There are many examples when other types of pronouncable domains sounds better than CVCVs. Let's take even such "ugly" example like OBYX.com and BYXO.com. I definitly prefer OBYX to BYXO.

But domainers get hypnotized by CVCV hypes and don't pay much attention to how really the domain sounds. WYQE? Do you imagine such company brand unless it's Wyoming Query Engineers? But then why overpay for WYQE 200-300$ if you can pay for example WYDG Wyoming Digital Group for just 60-80$?
