If this is right ? why all big companies still acquiring LLL.com as a solid investment .

It was posted on domainstate and a few other places. Acro: well, lets wait and see. I think the following months will reveal the trend more clearly.. whether it's going up or down. That said of course market trends don't change the end user potential and demand for the LLL's, so we'll still see reports of high LLL.com sales. However I think it's the no reserve auctions like these that show the real market state, possibly with a small correction for new marketplaces. Dominik Mueller: agreed

Congrats to the lucky buyer :) I don't see the prices having a dropping trend; what I see is more scoops of LLL .com domains away from end-users that had no idea what the street value is (sedo sales). Bido is an exception: they are not widely known so it's easier to get a low price when there is no reserve. Try that on eBay! Namejet is an interesting marketplace as the pre-releases are those of old (unexpired) .com's. I've followed the LLL .com market from it's "free for all" to the current highly competitive five-figure-plus range. I wish I had held onto my early LLL .com's but hey, hindsight 20/20 :D An under $6k sale? Congrats to the lucky buyer :)

I can confirm that QBZ.com did not sell. The name came up at auction at Namepros.com, but didn’t meet a price for which Justin would sell.

Justin Allen of NameBio.com owns it and I know he wouldn't sell for that price. The whois still shows his name as well. Jamie Hi Michael,

Are you sure QBZ.com sold for $5,550? Justin Allen of NameBio.com owns it and I know he wouldn’t sell for that price. The whois still shows his name as well.

Three- and four-letter domains have always been sort of highly speculative investments and, as you said, most of them don't have much appeal to end users as-is. Generic domains, however, will always receive targeted direct navigation traffic that makes them valuable to corporate buyers.
