Forbes has an interesting story about us!
One of the people mentioned is Steve McDonald, or karter9977 from dnforum. According to the story he managed to acquire qsd.com for $620! It was later for sale here
The article is discussed in dnf as well, domainer read more »
According to this thread on dnf and this one in idnforums there might have been a $xxx,xxx sale for an idn domain.
The domain was not publicly disclosed, however it is a Russian term. Alexa is 0, so there is probably not much traffic.
Other posts indicate that there were other previous $xxx,xxx sales and the idn market is simply not transparent enough, however several investors are spending big bucks on names they think will be much more in the years to come.
From idnforums:
I recently bought 1 idn for xxx,xxx
Some may say it is way over priced if you are comparing it to the current ‘market’ that is practically isn’t born yet but i prefer to pay more now then getting to the point where it just wont be for sale.
The $xxx,xxx sale has been confirmed as a Russian IDN , the $x,xxx,xxx “sale” still waiting for further info.
Also confirmed a Chinese seller sold a .cn for a good $xx,xxx to a business in China.
IDN domains are a highly controversial market. Many domainers believe it’s a waste of money while others predict it to take off big time. What’s your take on that?
Justin Godfrey, known as Rockefeller on dnf, recently posted about his sale of 92 LLL.com’s for $598K:
I just finished up a deal where I sold 92 LLL .coms for just about 600k, probably could’ve got more since it was only 6.5k each, but it’s nice to see people are spending freely again!
I suppose the LLL.com’s were of lower quality so this sounds like a good deal. It’s indeed good to see that there is healthy demand for the names in such quantities. The buyers are out there and ready to invest and spend money on quality domains! It’s the lower quality domains that are “in recession”, good generics and 2-3 letter .com’s are always in demand.
Myself I don’t own any LLL.com and never have. I always thought they were overpriced and not a good investment. They can’t be developed, they are too expensive for most end users and during the last half a year it’s unclear if the prices are going up or rather dropped.
So I’d much rather buy geo or generic domains.
Another scammer popped up in dnforum and tried to sell a few 3 and 4 letter domains:
It’s was xandomains, Yang Xin from Shanghai, who is now banned on dnf.
Among the stolen names are:
ZRU.com
LNTH.COM
LTGP.COM
TDBF.COM
ANIL.com
0L9.COM
ENCD.COM
KFAL.COM
FYUP.COM
UNWB.COM

I recently spotted this domain on DNF and it caught my attention. Not only because it’s a top female name and a great domain, but mostly because the high contrast in prices.
The seller claims to have paid over $50K for the name and the reserve on the greatdomains auction is only in the 1-5K euro range. This is a high risk and from my experience GreatDomains auction is among the worst places to take that kind of risk at.
I certanly wish EarlBarrett good luck with the sale, but I’m afraid the auction won’t reach that high
Don’t sell quad premium 4l.com’s and quad premium 4l.com’s with 3 repeating letters on Sedo! Strangely enough the prices on sedo no reserve auctions for these don’t reach near the levels that people are ready to pay for them on domaining forums.
That said, it’s true sedo has some good deals lately, if you’re planning to grab a few good LLLL.com’s go buy some there.
A quick comparison: DDDB.com is now taking offers on DNF, as of now the highest offer is $1500, a few similar and even domains ended considerably lower on sedo:
| SSSA.com | $1,108.00 | 05/02/2008 | Sedo |
| dddf.com | $905.00 | 04/23/2008 | Sedo |
It was reported today on DNF that a large amount of quality LLLL.com domains were stolen, among them egf.com, neoo.com, elli.com, gtoy.com, lave.com, sibe.com, ftc.net, 3004.COM GEHO.COM, gmile.com, mopi.com:

I’m selling one of my best LLLL.com domains OOOM.com
One of only 26 domains with triple O’s and even less with all premium letters.
It’s for sale on DNforum, but you can also send offers via this post. Current high offer on dnf is $2000 and I’m looking for a little more to sell quick.
4 letter domains with Triple repeating letters are among the most desired LLLL.com domains because many domainers would love to add them to their collection.
