Naysayers Spread Anti-LLLL Propoganda and many people selling their LLLL.com’s cheap on DNF, believing the prices will fall. Well good for those who are quick to get the bargains!

Patient domainers, who are ready to wait will eventually make the highest profit. If you sell in a hurry you always lose.

Check today’s and yesterday’s auctions: LLLL.com is still going strong and every day we see slight increases in prices. Sales below $60 are very rare:

ebay:
knhq.com - 87$
qtgv.com - 66$
oqxd.com - 65$
oqrv.com - 61$
vkqf.com - 61$ (more…)

New LLLL.com Price Guide is Out on 4letternoob blog by Reece.

Quad premiums had the highest increase in prices, which was only expected as they are the most desirable of all 4 letters.

Triple premiums with Z and other letters seem to be the real bargain at these prices. They are not too ugly and can have decent end user potential. If I find any at $75 a piece I’d buy them all! If you can get your hands on some triple premiums with K for $120 that would be a major bargain too.

According to the guide minimum prices are up to about $55 for the worst “anti-premium” type of LLLL’s, which sounds fair. The regular U+X, or Z+U type of domains which are being sold a lot around these days are worth about $65-70. Like xpru.com, xptu.com, zlhu.com. That would be a good price for them as well.

Triple premiums with Y,V and J aren’t that desirable and it’s strange to see them priced higher than K triples. But the guide is based on the actual sales data.. you can’t argue with the market.

Please note that the guide only refers to letter quality and disregards the other important characteristics as letter patters: CVCV, VCVC, CVVC, VCCV; number of vowels, for example domains with 3 vowels are usually worth $150 and up for the worst letters and 4 vowels would make it to $250 and up.

Some domainers, including Elliot, Dominic and admins of DomainState have recently expressed their opinions about LLLL.com domains describing them as a “bubble that will one day explode”. What are the reasons they list?

1. LLLL.com domains have no end user value
2. LLLL.com domains were bought out by domainers and are only sold between domainers
3. There are 26 times more 4 letter domains that 3 letter
4. LLLL.com are risky and prices will fall
5. Other reasons, that are too lame to list here

Now here is why I think they are wrong: (more…)

Recent LLLL.com sales compilation here from last 2 days, to keep you up to date with the current prices.

eBay mostly has low priced LLLL’s and the prices seem good for buyers. At other venues prices are pretty much the same. You can still find some bargains mostly on forums here and there, but these get sold very fast.

Quad premiums seem be perceived as the most safe investment and if you can find one for under $400 grab it quick! Minimum price for quad premium LLLL.com now getting close to $500 and is believed to achieve $1000 by the end of the year.

Also notable that triple premium LLLL.com’s - that have 3 premium letters and one not premium are selling for prices very similar to the crappy4L’s. They are pretty cheap and names with decent letters can have good end user potential and are very likely to grow the highest in price.

I think triple premiums and quad premiums are among the best investments now.

Pronounceable LLLL.com’s are also very desired, also imho they are less liquid and usually sell for higher prices.

rfsn.com $433
nfpe.com $431

I planted in some bargains, check carefully

Last Premium LLLL.net’s were bought out on Feb,5 2007 - 3 days ago. Now you can already see threads on namepros selling these for $20-25 each and some are getting purchased. It’s pretty obvious that these will grow in price and based on past LLL.net growth and LLLL.com quick rise to power, I predict the premium LLLL.net’s to have a minimum price of $50-100 by the end of the year - not a bad return for those who bought them for $5 each. I bought 400 premium LLLL.net’s myself, could have bought many more, but I figured I’d better keep these and renew them next year if needed as I’m mostly concentrating on LLLL.com’s now.

That comes to show the enormous leverage of a buyout. LLLL.com domains that were available 4 months ago are now selling for $60-70 and will continue to grow at high rates while new players enter the market and boost the prices by buying the 4 letter names in large quantities. At some point, several months from now, the prices will stabilize and continue growing at more regular rates close, but still higher than the LLL.com’s do now. Although the biggest winners will be the ones who originally registered the domains and had enough patience for the prices to grow to turn their $7 registration fee domains into $100+ domains.

All the decent cvcv.net/vcvc.net seem to be taken as well and have certain reseller value. People are also buying all good LLLL.net’s now inspired by the LLLL.com’s, but I think many of them will be disappointed because there are about 220K LLLL.net’s remaining. And unless a name belongs to a special category which was already bought out, like premium LLLL.net’s, or cvcv.net etc, it won’t have reseller value.A domain that looks “cool” to one person can be total garbage for rest, that’s why the safe way is always to buy domains that are supposed to run out soon. It’ll take years till we see the last of LLLL.net’s purchased, my prediction is 5 years or more - so don’t get too excited about these. There are more profitable opportunities around the corner
