If it helps, I can give you the other meanings of numbers in Chinese
Very useful if you are into numeric domains. Also explains why 4 is considered bad
1 single-mindedly, whole-heartedly, heart and soul
2 mandarin duck (it means that the good things appear in pairs)
3 promotion (especially in the officialdom)
4 death
5 me

It’s been a while since I posted anything about the 5 digit domains and that was mostly because there are not many sales and even those get unnoticed since they are rarely reported outside of snapnames and namejet.
But here they are:
Sedo
92629.com $650
92624.com $360
10323.com $60
Snapnames
65588.com $110.00
53788.com $59.00
22877.com $50.00
88820.com $60.00 (more…)
Here is a list of 28 NNNNN.com I’ve researched with all the 5 number domains ending within 24 hours on snapnames and the current min bids to enter:
12735.com $18.00
25622.com $16.00

Expect the biding to go up near the last 5 minutes as usually on snapnames, but few of these are pretty good.
There are many NNNNN.com auctions ending in the following few days on snapnames:

Few days after the buyout NNNNN.com sales are heating up.
Update: I’ve received reports of some random NNNNN.com’s sold in bulk privately for $8.5-10 each. Get those bargains while you still can 
Several sales have been reported so far on the forums.
I’ve sold 5 random NNNNN.com’s for $12.5 each (not selling that cheap anymore):
87816.com
87826.com
37535.com
37675.com
38417.com
Another sale reported here:
These 5 sold for $15 each:
72252.com
82292.com
71131.com
75525.com
72292.com
Another sale here
37467.com $15 Spells Eshop.com
More sales from SnapNames
01140.com $22
00108.com $29
05211.com $22
$10-15 or about twice the reg fee is the minimum anyone would sell NNNNN.com’s. But for now, while they are still fresh you can choose the better ones.
Now is a very good time to buy some good NNNNN.com’s for cheap before the prices rise and stabilize.
A few notable previous sales:
46000.com $299 2007-12-25 SEDO.com
34000.com $1,050 2007-11-21 SEDO.com
84444.com $500 2007-11-06 AfterNic.com
Domains ending with a few zeros and with many repeating digits are obviously more memorable and thus more valuable.
Now it’s official
ALL NNNNN.com Have Been Registered
The registrations rates were crazy in the past few days, even higher than with LLLL.com
Lets see how the prices rise now and how fast we can get to a minimum of $20-$25 for NNNNN.com. If there will be enough trading activity going then probably within a few weeks!
I’m going to start a priceguide on NNNNN.com’s soon.
See the historical countdown here
Yes it’s happening! For all the non believers, recent count shows only 1829 NNNN.com’s available only. The buyout is very close and it might happen within a few hours to a few days. After that it will be hard to find NNNNN.com’s at reg fee..
Half of the remaining NNNNN.com are starting with 0 and many contain 4.
Already sales are picking up. Here is a recent sale of NNNNN.com which appears to be a ZIP code for $40 on DP.
update: 982 remaining:

02263.com
NNNNN.com’s are running out by 2K registrations per day and around 6K are remaining right now.
Here is a list of better quality NNNNN.com’s that don’t have . All 5N’s with ‘0′ at the end are already registered and ‘0′ in other places, other than the last digit, is considered not good.
Also all NNNNN’s starting with 1,2 and 9 have been wiped out.
Please note that ‘4′ is considered a bad digit as it supposedly brings bad luck in Chinese culture, but adding other digits, like 5,6,7 depending on the number might neutralize that effect. From that point it’s getting too complicated to be covered here, but you’re welcome to read up on numerology, thanks for the link to replic8te.
For me an easy way to get higher quality NNNNN’s is by simply checking google results for the number. Here are number of google results for the first 100 NNNNN’s from the list, sorted:
41758 154,000
41691 156,000
41679 236,000
41892 364,000
41738 365,000
41783 365,000
41857 365,000(more…)
NNNNN.com Available List Posted 8190 Remain Unregistered.
With current trends going on NNNNN.com will be history in 3-5 days.
- All NNNNN.com’s starting with 1,2 and 9 are now gone. In fact there is one 9NNNN.com remaining but don’t expect it be long after this post: 97949.com (added: the winner is RezaS on NP)
- 2-3K NNNNN.com get registered every day for the last 5 days.
Latest available list includes 190 5N’s and can be downloaded for free here
Check out the NNNNN.com guide before registering these, to take the higher quality domains.
NNNNN.com Countdown Approaching 10k.
Around 11k NNNNN.com’s are currently remaining unregistered. Latest count shows 10, 736 10,681 8,200! They are likely to run out within a week if this trend continues.
According to NNNNN Domains Marchex owns around 60K NNNNN.com, which are valid US zip codes, so that only leaves the other 40K available on the market and thus makes NNNNN even more rare and more valuable.
Everyone obviously ponders on the prices NNNNN.com’s will fetch right after the buyout. Nothing is certain except death and taxes, but from previous buyouts we can expect the price to climb slowly and I predict it will reach $20 within 2 months after the buyout.
With LLLL.com’s we’ve seen the min prices climbing very fast to around $60 currently within 4 months and premium LLLL.net’s were bought out only a week ago, but are already selling at twice the reg fee. Usually the prices go up within weeks after a buyout occurs.
There are two main questions people ask related to numeric domains and NNNNN.com’s:
