Why are there LLL.com deleting??

[Chappy]

I notice deleted LLL.coms go for $xxxx. But why do these end up getting deleted? Are the owners stupid or something? what am I missing??

We wont know what really happened. Although we could speculate that they forgot to renew the domains or the owner got into an accident.. in a coma or lets face it died. Things do happen

 

[monRa]

Dead maybe!
Or just didn't thinked they had any value!
You know it but when I get first in dn biz, I was checking N.com domains!!!!

It could be that businesses owning the names simply stop operating

 

[dongan]

they stopped their business. they don't have enough money to renew in some cases.

Well if xzj.com belonged to Xavier's Zinc Junkyard - the business failed - Xavier wasn't aware of the fact that there are domain junkies that would pay a few hundred just cause it's a 3 letter.com.

What would he do with it?

There isn't another business on the face of the earth that has those initials and they don't really mean anything except maybe in some obscure mathematical formula. Who other than one of us crazy domain nuts would buy it and pay to renew year after year in the hopes that someone would start up a corporate entity with those particular initials?

i think thats the main reason. Or just a crappy registrar doesnt tell the owner its about to expire.

I suppose as domaining gets more popular this will happen less as more 'business owners' will know about it!

Do you think it's a good idea to try and hunt down the owner of the deleting LLL.com's and send them an offer for payment before it hits the pool.com market.

I couldn't found any LLL to buy,I would like buy some if very cheap, eh!
Would you tell me where did you found some?

Some people just forget. I have forgotten to renew a few domains.

I have forgotten to renew a few domains.

You mean LLL ones??? :hehe:

On the other hand, how on Earth can anyone forget to renew, after getting perhaps several (RegisterFly is sending perhaps several HUNDRED of them!!!) renewal notes from the registrar?
