When do you think LLLL.COM domains will be 1,000 dollar and above???

[grigio]

When do you think that LLLL.com will be worth over 1,000 dollar??

When do you think that LLLL.com will be worth over 1,000 dollar??

The minimum resell price worths 1k?

Never.

 

[Steven]

Never imho

 

[Fka200]

Never

 

[sunilm87]

wait for you son's son to start selling domains.. u can expect it then

 

[kaposzta]

The CVCV.com domains are already worth over $1000
But I don't think that combinations like YQHX would have too much value in the future.

 

[Nem0]

I'll take a stab at year, ohhh.... 2026.

Put your predictions down and be sure to revisit this thread. :p

When do you think that LLLL.com will be worth over 1,000 dollar??

In 1 year, when massive inflation we are due finally hits .

 

[Domainace]

It's entirely possible within a decade.
I wouldn't bet my retirement on it, but I wouldn't be surprised either.

 

[sunilm87]

now if you have domains like deed.com or seed.com or rock.com, you can expect more than 1k..
for wzuq.com hope it sells for 10$..
never on earth wil anyone buy wzuq type stupid names for 1000$.. but nothing can be predicted as of..in time to come, even ppl (incl me )might run crazy after these domain like we r now after some 3 characters

When you have names like QIYE.com that sell for $20,300, anything is possible. It will be 20+ years before the minimum is $1,000.

This seems to be an impossible question to answer, and if you were able to answer it successfully, you'd be a millionaire!

If you say never, then perhaps you fail to remember that at the start of the internet all domains were under $1000. (at least i think so...)

If you say 10-20+ years, you have decided that the internet will remain the way it is right now. Perhaps down the road, there will be a new technology that totally changes everything!

So to be honest, I have no clue, just like everyone else. I would really like the answer to be tomorrow though!

 

[regan]

I say 3-5 years, or maybe faster depends on author!

QIYE is the Chinese Pinyin for "Enterprise" :lol:

when the world population crosses 140 billion and Internet Penetration levels grow 5 times... so not soon :D

 

[-REECE-]

Hmm.. First order of business is to close down the Fed and use all the savings to increase internet penetration 5 times... Oh, and then we'll have to make sure people start having a dozen kids each - minimum! :hehe:

when the world population crosses 140 billion and Internet Penetration levels grow 5 times... so not soon :D

 

[GreenGambler]

It could happen, not soon, but in 10+ years.. I can see it, just depends on how the world economies develop, internet penetration, population and the use of the internet in general. I'm keeping my fingers crossed..

 

[-AR-]

Its hard to say but it could be pretty soon if we get hit by high inflation.

Otherwise I think it will take at least 7-15 years maybe more. The good quality LLLL.coms have already reached $1000+ so it's not something that we will never see happen or we should be suprised about.

It also depends on the number of new investors enter the market, if some strong investors or companies with a lot of cash enter then we could see them reach $1000 pretty soon. Just simple supply and demand.

The other thing is, who knows what will happen to the internet in 15 years?? Will it still be as it is today?

Yeah, that was my thought. Then I started to do some math, based on assumptions that some of us were using around the buyout. At present there is a large number of LLLL.coms in "soft" hands - this doesn't mean that the owners don't work for a living, it means that they do not intend to hold for the long term. So there are a lot of domains either on the market or that could be pried lose with a small price rise. This obscures the long term value of the domains.

Back in the day, our (absent but fondly remembered) friend Italian Dragon, myself, and others were speculating that the natural value or "target price" (underlying price after the dust settles) of LLLL.coms should be about 1/26 the value of a comparable LLL.com (there are 26 times as many LLLLs). If we use that metric with a minimum price today for LLLs of $3,500 we get a target for LLLL.coms of $135.

I doubt many would disagree that the internet, and thus the demand for domains, is rising. The mobile internet is probably about to explode in the same way that the PC internet did, and television did before that. Short domains are well suited to small keyboards. So I assumed a 20% per year growth in internet usage.

At 20% per year it took a little over eleven years to reach $1000 from $135, with the magic of compounded returns!

A 10% growth rate is much less than we are having in this recession (remember we are talking about internet use, not domain prices directly) 10% would take something like three times longer (not going to do that math), and I would not try to guess what the internet will look like that far out.

Snoop is going to hate this. I will place the caveats that there are many optimistic assumptions in this guesstimate, including the recovery and health of the world economy. Renewal fees have to be factored in. And I certainly would not recommend that anyone spend money without doing a whole lot more research. But I do not think these assumptions are unreasonable, and that is where Snoop and I disagree. But at least I am consistent.
--- another caveat - I have a bunch of LLLL.coms, although few, if any, that I would consider minimum value.


Increase in the number of websites on the internet:
2004 : 12.1%
2005 : 17.1%
2006 : 31.6%
2007 : 48.7%
2008 : 29.9%
