The LLLL.com sales and discussion thread

[italiandragon]

Hello, I think it would be pretty useful to keep track of all LLLL.com sales , even the little ones under $100 so that , pretty soon , when the available LLLL.com will be finished , we`ll have a better idea on market prices.

It is important that these sales are confirmed. So before to post, make sure payment went OK.

I will start with todays` Sedo confirmed sales:

FISE.com 2,700 Euros
TSRT.com US $760
VEUP.com US $1,700


Also, I found interesting to see this average LLLL, getting bids up to $51 and reserve not me. It says it all.

Are llll's going back up in price whats the news? Is it worth selling, sticking, buying or more than one of these?

AAAGGGHHHH Never know what to do these days.

James, if you do not know what to do, do nothing

I am sticking with mine, do not drop any, sell only to endusers, not to resellers (the only one lot I sold recently to resellers was 50 LLLL.com sold in March 2009) and buy especially nice domains at especially low prices (as an example, I bought yocr.cоm for just $10 a few months ago).

 

[tetrapak]

I'm with you on that strategy Vlad! Building a portfolio of nice short domains, not letting a single one drop or be sold to resellers (except some rare cases).

Yes, except that rare case when you sold me a nice LLLL.com domain for $180 and I sold it few weeks later for $900+
:great:

By the way, has anyone noticed that there are only 89 expired LLLL.com on godaddy expiring auctions?

Yes I noticed this. I have also noticed enduser emails are increasing. I am getting twice as many enduser emails this month then I did the last 2 months. The economy has also showed a 10% growth over the last 3 months, which has definitely helped quads jump $20-$30 each.

... The economy has also showed a 10% growth over the last 3 months ...

Wow, 10% quarterly growth is huge - what region/source? US Commerce BEA latest estimate of Q3 GDP states: "Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the third quarter of 2009, (that is, from the second quarter to the third quarter), according to the "third" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP decreased 0.7 percent." The next BEA GDP news release (GDP Q4 2009 advance estimate) is due 29-Jan-2010. Good to see the national numbers in positive territory.

I let a couple dozen drop lately, but I MORE THAN made up for it.

Pretty much agree with "do not drop any, sell only to endusers, not to resellers" I've been doing this for couple of years now.


yocr.cоm is a nice buy. You have a solid acronym there Vlad. You wanna sell it?

I am basing my comment off the stock market over the last quarter.

I am basing my comment off the stock market over the last quarter.

OK, thanks. Corporate earnings, equity prices and investor sentiment have rebounded sharply since March. Jobs and real estate are still a mess. Domain prices are well off their highs, above the lows, percolating. If and when the whole ship turns, domains should rise, but a bull run is unlikely without the ppc fuel that enabled domainers to thrive on buy side skills alone - buy, park and repeat. PPC still has a pulse but if it doesn't recover or reinvent, big portfolios and owners will continue to scatter, their trickle down gone for good. Reselling and developing will survive but are time intensive, not massively scalable. Since this is a llll thread, here's an on topic comment - llll names with direct traffic priced below long term bond multiples appeal to resellers, developers and ppc nuts - they don't always fit the 'quad premium' label and for that reason may slip through the cracks and offer good bang for the buck.

 

[accent]

LLLLs are not much of a PPC investment, unless they are former websites or words. It seems to me the value of LLLL.com is in sales to end users, both directly and as reflected in the reseller/collector market.

I expect the growth of the internet and of the mobile web to put upward pressure on short domain prices. Large accumulations of former websites will perhaps fall apart, but I expect large accumulations of short Com domains will fairly soon dominate this market, setting minimum entry costs to those who want a LLLL.com for their website.

A single advertisement in a newspaper or magazine can cost thousands of dollars. An acronym domain that suits a company perfectly can be many times more valuable than that ad. It takes a lot of time for businesses to realize the value of a good domain, but when they do a $$$$ floor for any LLLL.com to endusers could be easily accepted by the market.

The only barrier is the masses of loose LLLLs runing around, not much of a problem if the internet continues to grow at anything like it's recent rate. The cost of cornering the LLLL.com market would be tiny, in Wall Street terms.

It is a different kind of investment than PPC, more speculative but also, perhaps, more rewarding.

Yes, except that rare case when you sold me a nice LLLL.com domain for $180 and I sold it few weeks later for $900+
:great:

Hehe. That exactly proves the point. Glad for your sale, hopefully many others will follow!
