Why a dip in LLLL.com sales?

[mntor]

In the last few days there are fewer and fewer LLLL.com sales atleast on NP. Even the prices have fallen a bit. Why this dip? Many were complaining about Naysayers and Scammers to be the reason behind this dip.

Is it a market correction or is it a temporary dip?

What do you think is the reason?

 

[HeyGeek]

market correction

Also due to NNNNN.com and LLLL.net premium buyout

I'm guessing it has a lot to do with a lot of other short domain countdowns. Whether its LLLL.net or NNNNN.com, people have been spending their money elsewhere trying to find the next goldmine. This is fine and I think you will see LLLL.com continue to rise in price but at a more gradual pace. I don't think prices have gone down, but they seem to be stagnant. No worries though, if there are fewer LLLL.coms for sale (as you say there are) that means less supply for the the buying population which will help with prices.

LLLL daily drops has also slowed down a little and this is a good thing for the LLLL market - fewer LLLL for sale!

They might have slowed for the LLLL.net buyout BUT the buyout will only benefit them in the end (they are both relative).

too much inventory - not enough buyers.
(sounds like the US housing market, eh?)

there are more than one reason and when it happens we really feel it; here are they

1) scammers -> many names were stolen; in many threads people said they wouldnt sell their names (they are not the main reason)

2) LLLL.net and NNNNN.com buyout -> one important reason as people spent a great ammount of their money buying these domains

3) market correction -> i agree with malcom321; prices are stagnant and this is the main reason to fewer LLLL sales at forums; nobody wants to sell their names cheap or without a good ROI and if you search names it is difficult to find them priced as stated in Reece's guide when forum members are selling, unless it is a bulk sale

4) LLLL drops -> maybe they can be one reason, as netclikc stated, as sometimes it is cheaper if you backorder (especially if you are the only one who backordered it)

naysayers have no influence in the market... market is beyond them; like it or not LLLL are here to stay

no, it doesnt at all
it seems there are many of them (i know they are 450,000+) but they are spread throughout the world and all that thing already said a thousand times (new markets like china and india, more domainers, only 18% of the world with internet access, bla, bla, bla)

if you have money to buy you can find great prices doing some homework

I think the general unrest in the financial markets could also have some effect.

 

[BrainPower]

Hard to pinpoint to one item, but my belief its a combination of the points mentioned above. In the end however, if you have any sort of premium name, vault it for a better day

LLLL.com is a long-haul game. Don't plan on selling for 2-3 years minimum. Domaining has yet to begin, especially short domains.

Indeed. Just like stocks you either go short or long. Risks in both strategies. I have had some LLLL.com since 2000. Investment can be very boring unfortunately.

Prices look to be correcting. They ran up way too high is a short space of time in my view.

I know this is your view but I just wanted to throw my view in as well. :D

I am thinking along the lines of Lorenzo on this. Worst LLL.com=$7,000. LLLL.com= 1/26 of LLL.com. Worst LLLL.com=$270.

Most 3 letter .com's are in endusers hands (and hence the actual domainer pool is relatively small, few thousand names, and dominated by low quality ones) whereas most 4 letter .com's, even the high quality ones are owned by speculators (few hundred thousand names). The actual number of domains is only 26 times but the number in domainers hands I would guess is more like 100 times. After that you need to factor in the high reg fees and low enduser interest going forward. Personally I think a sustainable price for these names is more like $15 rather than $270.

There was an enormous rush to sell LLLL.coms over the past couple of months. Now there are not as many sellers in the market (as early investors have dumped their collection). As more and more names got sold, less were available.

LLLL.com drops are also becoming more and more rare. As the availability gap has been shrinking and shrinking, the sales and illusion of sell-ability have both gone down.

The price is not in jeopardy. I have yet to see a .com market spiral downwards; the values always rise (albeit in this case, the rise will slow down) .

If you have never seen a .com market spiral down I'm kind of wondering how long you have been in the market for?

ROFL!

$15? Get me 1000 and I buy them all...

That is a bit like me saying to bfluid that I'll sell him some low quality ones for $270 each. $15 is where I suspect they will gravitate to, and no that isn't suggesting anyone will sell you them for $15 today, because the market value is obviously around $40 right. It is a suggestion that now may prove to be a good time to sell though.

If anyone wants to make a bet, I will bet $10,000 that LLLL.coms will not fall down in pricing - period.




Oh and to the guy who said $15... I guess ignorance is bliss? :hi:
