Domain Magnate

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:

DATO.com

Perfect domain for any IT related company in a Spanish speaking country and one of the best CVCV.com’s around!

DATO means Data in Spanish, but to the hundreds of possible endusers around the world, DATO is so much more than a Spanish dictionary word. Can you say 80 million + Google results? How about literally hundreds of daily Wordtracker results which include the word “dato” in them?

DataRecovery.com recently sold for $1.7 MILLION dollars! Spanish is the MOST POPULAR foreign language in the United States and ranks THIRD Worldwide in Internet users.

We ask you this… What would Data.com go for? Pause. Think about that for a sec…
Then tell me how Dato.com isn’t one of not only the greatest spanish generics auctioned this year, but one of the greatest generics period. Worldwide Internet penetration continues to increase… This is a domain which will forever have value, forever be recognize as a Tier 1 Spanish domain, and continue to increase in value for many, many years to come.

Need I really say more? If I haven’t sold you on DATO yet, I don’t think you’ve been listening — or you clearly don’t understand THE BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY IN THIS CENTURY, which is premium foreign language domain names.

DATO is an incredibly strong CVCV that flows off the tongue like any True CVCV should. DATO is being offered to you with NO RESERVE. In short, this domain WILL SELL, regardless of what’s offered. Arguably The Strongest CVCV offered on Sedo EVER.

Compare this to VINO (wine in Italian) which received offers of $60,000 and DID NOT MEET THE RESERVE. We’re giving you a once in a lifetime chance to pick up a Tier 1 premium for pennies on the dollar… There might never be an opportunity like this again!

Compare to domains like:

POPA.com sold on Sedo $15000+
ZOYO.om sold on Sedo 6000EUR ($9000+)

… and I think you’ll feel as confident as me in saying that this is a 6 figure domain any day of the week to a Spanish enduser.

Here is the forth monthly Recent LLLL.com Sales compilation. LLLL.com’s are the most frequently traded domaining commodity on all forums and auctions and it’s thus crucial to be up to date with the quickly changing prices.

The list includes last 3-5 days of sales on different venues based on TDVR database

Many nice end user value sales on afternic this week. There is a growing demand on CVCV.com domains and it’s rare to see sales below $1k in this area, while the quality of cvcv’s being sold is lower. Premium cvcv are rarely put for sale.

Many bargains can still be found on different auction houses.

After I’ve added many of my top LLLL.com domains to sedo I keep getting large number of annoying lowball offers.

Seriously people, if you’re going to lowball at least don’t send funny offers of 75 and 175 euro for domains that are worth at least low-mid 4 figures. Offer $500 or something, you might even find someone who doesn’t know the real value and buy.

But with low offers like that no one would even reply because you’re clearly not serious. By being too gready you just lose many potential deals.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a domainer, I lowball all the time time too, but not like that. This is just ridiculous and here is why. There may be one person in 10000 inquires who’d sell his $2K worth domain for $100, but then there are hundreds who would take $500 for it. In both cases your profit is similar: $1900 and and $1500. But instead of wasting time searching for that one “sucker”, why not get many other good deals instead and potentially much bigger profit by spending less time..

I was just checking the recent sales of cvcv.com at tdvr.com and noticed a strange thing.

Both sold on sedo, same week, almost same letters and similar quality, yet such a big difference in price, why?

“Fehu” has 162K results in google and there is a developed site over at fehu.org, with alexa below 1 million, so it has some traffic. It also seems to have some mystical meaning, but that can hardly contribute much to a reseller price. read more »

Many top names are being auctioned through various venues this time.

Sedo leads the way, with such gems as:
xp.com
xu.com
zr.com
bond.com
directories.com
resorts.net
nicole.com

Also, as usually, a few names with super high reserves that don’t have much chance (although we’ll likely see them shill bidded to the reserve by the end of the auction):

vino.com 200,000 - 499,999 $US
housewares.com 1,000,000 $US +
vinos.com 50,000 - 199,999 $US read more »

Dollars.com didn’t bring the top dollar many have expected and fetched only $500K euro on the recent greatdomains.com auction run by Sedo.

Considering it was previously sold by rick lotuna for $650K 10 months ago, the current owner just flipped it for a lousy 10% profit, after the sedo fees.

For comparison another similar high value “flip” computers.com brought the owners $2.1M on a TRAFFIC auction half a year ago, making it about 80% profit in less than a year, based on the reports of the price they paid for it earlier.

The current GreatDomains auction had a large amount of very high value names.

Another interesting sale reported by sedo: c4.com for $107.5K
