Value of Domain Hacks

[xman]

Here's my question..what is the value of domain hack? I've seen some good domain hack and i was wondering about the value of it. I myself own one and i'm not sure whether or not i should get more. I haven't seen any sale of domain hack. Why do we register domain hack? Is it because the domain looks cool or because there's a potential end user who's willing to buy such domain?

A $2,200 dollar initial bid?! Hmmm...

If that's legit then well done!

I'd be very surprised if the sale goes thru, let us know...

Pronounceable, really?

 

[jenna323]

Well, it is short, and it's also somewhat 'brandable' but
it isn't a real word and i'm surprised that the bid was
so high.

If the seller isn't behind the bid then he really needs to
check in with the bidder to see if they're for real - if he
doesn't do this then he runs the very real risk of losing out
here.

what word is lvly ...... it's not a hack in my view

 

[JohnDomainer]

Fake bid past reserve? and then reduce auction time from 25 days to 7? The buyer wants a faster transaction so he asked me to reduce auction time after bidding.

Also, yes, to me lv.ly is a kind of hack, given that the TLD adds something to the domain brand / spelling. As we tend to pronounce every written thing we see. I know it's not love.ly but also it's not priced in the love.ly sale range.

That said, thanks for your comments, just wanted to highlight the auction in case anyone's interested.

Cheers :tu

As I said, congrats if this is legit, if not we will find out probably but I wanna say somehting else.

I consider lv.ly a domain hack as So.cl or Goo.gl etc It's not a premium but it's short and catchy, it wouldnt be fair now to say my view on the price.

Regards!

it wouldnt be fair now to say my view on the price.

But you just did

 

[Edward Smeu]

Hehe, not entirely though. I'm gonna say the classic cliche "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Domainers are rarely paying end-user prices so everything is expensive

 

[ioana_bv]

lv.ly is hoorible if compared with so.cl or goo.gl
Amy non-word domain can be considered as brand able domain.
I am very sceptic about that bid.

 

[Edward Smeu]

I haven't compared them, I said they're in the same category. Even the one from your sig is in the same category. And everyone is sceptic about that bid, I just hope it's legit.

And why aren't you out on the slope? :D

 

[Kate]

Domainers are never paying end-user prices so everything is expensive

I'm a domainer and I'm an end user too :talk:

 

[Edward Smeu]

Nice to know that then, I edited my post as I made the same mistake I hate when i see it at other people. Using 'words' like never, always, 100%, 0% and similar is not helping.At least most of the time

 

[ioana_bv]

No they are not in the same category at all.
so.cl and goo.gl are pronuncable, cu.tl is in the same time a word (with an extra "l"). The only way I see lv.ly is for Latvia sub domains

[ioana_bv]

[Edward Smeu]
