Domain Magnate

Namejet had some good time lately auctioning off top generic names for high amounts.

One of these was GoPlay.com, which ended today at $17,300 - decent price for any “obscure” 2 word domain, however it was in fact auctioned a month ago on July, 21 - then the auctioned fetched $26,300.

Probably the winner didn’t pay so it was rerun. As usually second auctions end up lower than previously, however an over 1/3 decrease is quite significant. According to other reports

Auction over at $17,300. Winner this time round only bid $69 in first auction while underbidder in 1st auction ($26,200) only bid to $17,200 today.

GoPlay.com is an excellent domain for any gambling, or gaming site. It’s also a popular brand and many other sites in different extensions use it, hopefully we’ll see this one developed into a top gambling portal.

First time I’m seeing 3character.com guide lowering prices and not just lowering, but by over 20% in a month!

3-Letter .com - $6000 (- $1650 since July 1, 2008 report)

3 letter .net lost 3.6% according to the guide.

What’s gonna happen next with the LLL.com? Well no one knows for sure. From a discussion in DomainState:

• snoopy: Agree, personally I think we will see prices come back into the $3000-$4000 range on the low end.
• DomainDiscount: Recently sold a 3 letter .com in the mid Euro xx,xxx range. Was an enduser sale though.
• Globalise: Sold a pair of LLL.coms last week for $130k.
  Two weeks ago I bought an LLL.com with mediocre letters for $15k and sold it, two days later, to another domainer for $40k.
• doughmein: I think it signifies a market correction because these qualify as “token” domains that are being tossed around, and there’s no indication that the lesser quality ones will be in demand by end-users.

This posts discusses the unique potential of the top quality CVCV.com names and provides valuable tips and updates on where to get them at bargain prices.

LLLL.com remains the most frequently traded type of domains between domainers on the forums and it’s thus important to know the prices and be aware of the market trends and potential.

High end 4L.com’s names, mostly cvcv.com had the highest increase as of lately and it’s not surprising. There are only 2500 quad premium (e.g. only containing the premium letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T) CVCV.com domains (consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel, e.g. topa.com, dola.com, nama.com etc.). Out of these names containing H and F are lesser quality. Another 2100 cvcv domains consist of the above letters and one of: U, K; which are considered the best of the non premium letters. And add to these another 1500 domains including V, or W and some of the above mentioned letters. In my opinion these 2500+2100+1500 = 6100 names are the top of the creme 4 letter domains. Other letters: Z,X,Y,J,Q are usually harder to make a brand of and are less attractive to a western, English speaking person. read more »
