information What Makes Numeric Domains So Valuable?

[News]

Novice domainers are often curious why numeric domains fetch such high prices. Sure, a very short domain like 345.com might be worth the $800,000 paid for it in January 2015. But what about a domain like 89992.com, which recently sold for $4,000? Where is the value if the numbers don't mean anything?

In America, for example, we sometimes consider the number 7 to be lucky, especially in classic casino games. And the number 13 is considered unlucky enough that many buildings do not have a "13th floor" – at least not according to the elevator panels. But these scenarios pale in comparison to the importance that the Chinese place on numbers – and it's not all about luck and superstition.

great info plus your website 88domains.com I have a few numerical domains I'd love for you to give your honest opinion and appraisal on. what about NNNNNN.com's?

In our experience, these domains often yield a higher value due to the decreased linguistic confusion between many languages.

Chinese love numbers. It is part of their culture.

Why only 3N.com and 6N.com more valuable what about 4N, 5N or 7N or 8N ?

Ok I'll give my 2 cents here. I think it has something to do with the chinese number culture.

3 is a lucky number and 6 is a lucky number too. so a SET of 3 lucky numbers like 888.com by default is more valuable. or course the concept of "less is more" in domain always applies. but as for 4 numbers and 5 numbers or 7 numbers? those numbers are bad lucky. remember I'm talking about sets of 4 numbers and sets of 5 numbers and sets of 7 numbers. a set of 8 number is very lucky especially if it's all lucky numbers for example like my 8N.com with a set of 8 numbers. 33889922.com. plus my dotcom has numbers in sets of 2 like "33" and "88" and "99" and "22" all lucky numbers in chinese culture. but there's a chinese saying also.

"All good things come in Pairs" so this domain as a pair of 3's and pair of 8's and a pair of 9's and a pair of 2's. with a TOTAL of 8 numbers which is the luckiest of all chinese numbers.
