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 read more »

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:
Just run a scan of all NNNN.ca domains - that is the 4 number Canadian domains. Guess how many are available?
In total there are about 17.5K NNNNN.com domains left out of 100K. Couple thousands of them were registered in last several days by a few investors.
Numeric domains represent one of the safest and most profitable investments in the market currently due to their limited quantity, compared to letter domains and many possible meanings in different cultures and countries: phone numbers, zip codes, lucky numbers, dialing codes, license plates etc.
Not all digits are equal, some digits are considered better than other, according to 3character.com price guide:
1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 are considered premium numbers. Other lesser high quality numbers include: 4 and 6. Lower quality numbers include the number 0. 3
Recent scan of all premium NNNNN.com’s, consisting only digits: 1,2,3,5,7,9 shows
that 1471 domains are available out of 7,776.
