The LLL.com sales report & discussion thread

[italiandragon]

We need this one too guys

This guide will also help LLLL.com holders to understand more the value of their 4 letters .com based on how expensive the similar 3 letters .com are.

From:

http://3character.com/priceguide.html

Pricing Guide for 3-Letter (Composed Of Letters Only) Domains:

Current Observed Minimum Wholesale Price (regardless of letter combo) as of February 1, 2008:

3-Letter .com - $6700 (+ $300 since January 1, 2008 report)

But I consider their guide a bit old since they are not taking in consideration the emergenging countries that appreciate other letters and as we have run a poll here several times lately, the majority of people consider the letters U
and W to be Premium letters.

Let`s have a look at some recent LLL.com sales as reported from NameBio.com :

That was big money - Was that in the std auction format., so we can take it at least 2 people were willing to pay $20k plus

there were actually 3 bidders over 20k.

ICZ ended $7250
WDY ended at $7800

some strong sales! the winning bidder for these two names is chinese.

 

[tetrapak]

Strong sales indeed, I would have guessed they would go for $4k maximum.

 

[tonecas]

mcu.com $24,500.00 @ SN.

that one is on the "warning lot".

it belongs to the same guy who had his account hijacked and about 100 domains sent to deletion.

most of the LLL.com, LLL.net, LLL.org, CC.org and others alike that are being drop in the last days belong to the same account.

it will be interesting to see how this will end.

nevertheless, strong sale for current times. many people entering in the action pushing it up level after level.

As I said two weeks ago in response to snoop saying to watch parking revenues, (implying if they continue to go down it will have a drag on LLL.coms prices) - Its Chinese buyers which will drive this sector.

In conclusion the factor that will have most effect on these names is if the uptake from China will significantly increase the turnover of LLL.coms to endusers. Not parking revenues.

I contacted this guy a few weeks ago and he was very aware that the domains were set to delete, and was going through the process with Netsol... surprised to see that they actually dropped, considering Netsol were mid-discussions with the previous owner.

What's the 'warning lot'???

the "warning lot" is the domains that are dropping in the recent days that were all renewed, hijacked and set for deletion. You buy them and you have some chance of have to give them back in a few weeks.

funny seeing so many backorders on 57.org, cq.org and others when there is no chance to grab them again once they are deleted. this ones were also on the "warning lot".

this is an event that i am eager to see the end. the owner had a nice good portfolio and these domains were some of the best. let's see how "friendly" the registrars and the Registry are.

Did anyone get premium auction results ?

 

[ebatcave]

LFA.com - $15,005 Godaddy Auctions. Sounds a lot better that the original posting

:notme:

much better


completly insane the auction. The bidder 1 got the domain from bidder 18 who pushed the price until $12,000. Then bidder 1 enter again at 11:24:40 and then on was a proxy bid war between the two until 14:04:32. Almost 3 hours of increments of $5. These GoDaddy auctions are funny :P

Didn't notice that Godaddy only places the indication of a Proxy bid on one of the bidders. The other one gets its proxy bids entered after each 31 seconds.

$15k is more like it! why was it reported before at a way lower price?

Are there risks of the previous owner take you to wipo many months later? What is the list of his domains?

WIPO i don't think so. But the registrars and the Registry can agree to return the domain to the owner. i'm personally interested in seeing the end of this novel because it is something new to me and i want to see if the registrars and the Registry will do something.

the lot included names like:

cq.org
zq.org
xq.org
57.org

wdy.org
qrz.org
qth.org
uhf.org
jtw.org

wdy.net
ecz.net
qso.net
jtw.net

wdy.com
mcu.com
icz.com

2jw.com
d2a.com

races.net


and on...

Awesome sale. It was only about 9-10 months ago that Snoop sold it at $16K for a loss.
The LLL market has rebounded quite a bit.

 

[tetrapak]

Any idea where that sold?

I believe a private sale, seller has just announced it at the "other" forum.

i suspected that would get into the low $xx,xxx because of the obvious typo of WSJ. good price.

there is more to a domain than good or bad letters
