Congrats Adam! --> how "DOTCOMGOD" turned 50,000 in 1,500,000 (in less than 2 years)

[italiandragon]

It`s not a commercial , it`s not a dream.

It`s what Adam Dicker has done by buying 4000 nice LLLL.com in early 2006.

Total reg. fees : $25,000 in 2006

Total renewal fees : $25,000 in 2007


And now, he has a portfolio of about 4000 LLLL.com with quality letters that can`t be found for less than $250 - $500 , sometimes not even for more.
Not to mention that he received some offers for some names in the 4 figures range (that`s what he told me in the past, I don`t know news since May and I don`t know if he sold any) and also the parking revenue that on 4000 LLLL.com may produce some good results since at that time there were pretty nice names with some Overture results too.

In 2006, when he wrote about his 4,000 regs , someone replied him saying "I`ll be waiting the drops next year" but he made clear he does not drop names.

He saw a great opportunity when there were still about 85,000 LLLL.com left.

1 year and half later , the LLLL.com has been totally sold out.

Yet , some people doubt that RANDOM , NON-PRONUNCIABLE LLLL.com are a good investment.

I wish these people to address me to better investments than turning $50,000 in $1,500,000 in less than 2 years.

In the mean time , I am kicking myself to have not noticed this great opportunity earlier than when I did , but I did not want to kick myself for missing it at all.
The price of the ugliest LLLL.com are rising day by day in all aftermarkets.
In another 2 years , I wonder how many people will write:

"oh....I wish I did..."
"If only I could turn back in time..."
"I can`t believe I was there but I did not buy any LLLL.com..."


:yes:

Thank you

I had 20 in one account, but it was a WWD reseller and I forgot about it!

All I can say is wow!

 

[draggar]

Wow and congratz to Adam!

 

[Stian]

Great move Adam! I was lucky enough to grab some very nice LLLL.com's a few months ago, before the prices really exploded. LLLL.com's are only going up in the years to come and those few lucky domainers who sit on the good ones should be expecting a very good profit.

ouch! so sorry for you Andy!


I tried to find back the thread where Adam announced to the forum his purchase but I can`t find it anymore.

I just remember that it was between April and July 2006 and one day he just wrote something like:

" I just regged a few...."


and you were scrolling and scrolling down the page.....this list never ended lol!

I hope that Adam can update on his great move and tell us if he still holds all of them , wants to sell any , or what

 

[PRED]

he also did the same in NNNN.com
bought thousands

i just ignored the NNNN threads at time. didn't see point. wish i had

$7 >> $250 + each

Well Done Adam :hail:

How long until the LLLLL.COM's get taken up?

 

[9MM]

5L will probably never get fully sucked up, too many and they will get dropped without a care (lower quality at least).

Well I just finished selling off LLLL's pretty much (except for some premiums) and am moving to LLL.com - I figure if LLLL goes up, LLL must be going up too, right?

 

[noncompare]

I doubt any combination, LLL or LLLL would match the 30-fold+ increase in two years as in this case. Or the open growt that appears to still lie ahead. Even going for LLL or LL may still yield less returns than the aggregate of LLLL investments simply out of sheer volume.

Not true, someone could have forseen this with LLL.com and sucked them up, if someone wanted they could've grabbed quite a few, but LLLL's will stop rising in value sometime, they can't become higher priced on a minimum wholesale guide value compared to LLL, can they?

 

[noncompare]

It can go either way, actually, so there can't be a right or wrong at this point, but for all the fever going on with LLLL's these days, its actually still in what could be the early stages of its rise so that even if many find them already expensive today, their potential for increasing by more multiples is still rather high, compared to say, other types of combinations like LL or LLL where their increases would be large in absolute numbers but percentage/multiple wise, LLLL's may still stand the higher potential for growth, for the same amount of investment.

For example, (and this is just an example) the chances of you doubling a $10,000 investment in a LLL.com within 12 months is good (that's a 100% increase). But say you spent that $10k in 200 LLLL.com's at an average of $50. In a year's time, if the general rate goes up to $100 per, then you'll have achieved double (100% return) on the amount too. But while one can argue the current fever can't last forever, the chances of the increase going up way beyond $100 on average is very high. it could easily grow to $200 or more, thereby far surpassing the opportunity cost of the other potential choices.

The OP above is testament to that, where you can argue that if that $50k Adam invested would have been put into LLL's, it could still provide very good returns, but possibly not as high as he did in this case with LLLL's.

[MediaHound]

That was a good investment!

 

[DomainsInc]

Its a reseller bubble that could burst though.

 

[jasdon11]

Not arguing with the ability to spot a deal - but where do the figures come from?

"turned 50,000 in 1,500,000"

Cost price of 4,000 would've been $28k - and at $1.5m that would be to value them at nearly $400 each. Undoubtedly there will be a few $xxxx names in there, but also a lot of sub $50 names I'm guessing - or are they all cvcv, or similar?

Look at the LLL.org.uk potential. Still loads free to register at £5 + VAT (registrar price).

60+ the other day, all with double letters, like BBM MMB DRR GTT (can't remember exact ones) but you get my drift.

I'll look back at this thread in two years
