Got to ask Doc Com, did you reg any?

I had perhaps a total of 40 or so. I started looking at high visibility numbers (products) and then high visibility zip codes. I have never really been one to shy away from hyphens (see sig) and regged numerous L-L-L quite some time ago.

It was the traffic and hits that the L-L-L were getting that really surprised me. I have them all parked and some are doing very, very well. Most does appear to be asian traffic but much euro also. Their success led me back to looking at numbers.

I was looking for stuff like airplane makes and model #'s for the sake of simply parking or dev a generic site. Gone. Famous dates, etc.

Some area codes are like famous zip codes (think 90210) or famous addresses. I looked for Street and New York City etc...212. All were regged except 2-1-2.org. I went ahead and regged this and it is getting traffic and clicks! I had also managed to capture 8-8-8.info and even this is receiving a respectable amount of traffic. (NOTE: The Chinese so revere the 8 as the LUCKIEST number that next years Olympics in Beijing will commence at 8:08:08 pm on 08-08-08...8-8-8. All of these variations, by the way, have been regged for quite some time.)

So perhaps you can see what the mystique of numbers and independent researching has done for me. It confirmed that there indeed was a market for this stuff. Not to mention, numbers are universal and carry the same value in any market and in any language. For English, I was looking for numbers that spell words. But numbers are their own unique language in a sense. Yet can have many different meaning, interpretations, don't need any IDN to translate.

It was shortly after this that I began to notice (not only were nearly all the 2-1-2 gone) but most that I was randomly typing in were gone.

So I started running some scans. This thread was about the L-L-L and then someone mentioned the N-N-N comments. The first time I ran the scan, there was 612. Next day, 560+.

My primary intent was not so much to call the attention to this (which it obviously had) but the shocker to me at the time (see http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?t=244171) but to call attention to the amazingly dwindling number of english dictionary domain names and that all (over 7000!) cvcv.net were regged. This was the shocker to me as I had been looking for those several months ago and there were numerous.

So, if the report pushed the hysteria for the N-N-N, that was not the intent. Purely for informational purposes.

Did I reg any tonight? 9-3-3 and 6-6-4 were the only recurring number that I found and the two I regged tonight.

Will they go up in value???

Damn, we hope so!

And so it goes.

Very very impressed with this thread for the information. And hats off to pred for the amazing dig on the developed sites. Simply incredible.

So, what else happens while we sleep?

That to me is the most fascinating thing about the internet and a global economy...it never sleeps.

Well now to see what the aftermarket does with the N-N-N.com's!

In my opinion there is already a market, as I said in an earlier post the value of these domains was really above the reg fee for any of them, so when the movement started it was a case that if you reg'ed any you were simply buying money. I look on mine as being $20+ each at the moment and I will chuck them up on the board just to see what happens. One thing is for sure though, those who were on other forums will wonder what the h*ll happened tonight! :lol:

They were just on the wrong forum though!:smilewinkgrin:

Anyway, I think we all owe thanks to several members who again have put themselves out to share their research. Great work, thank you guys. :cheers:

I think a few days ago I had guessed about 2 months for all the N-N-N.com to go. I'd also said anyone could come along and just snap them up, I log on tonight and find that they're all gone. Glad I bought a few and thanks to those who brought attention to this. If there are a few good reported N-N-N.com sales it won't be long before there are wanted posts here for them.

Was looking at the remaining L-L-L.com and it's hard to pick and choose from what's left, nothing really jumping out at me, though I did find one where the .org was taken but not the .com. The .org is just parked at the registrar.

Nice to add these types of domains to the portfolio, for at least another niche to serve.

Interesting that a lot of the last remaining N-N-N were numbers that started with '4' - the chinese unlucky number.

 

[nameadvertising.com]

Yes, N-N-N is of high value. Just as stocks are priced at future earnings, these domains are actually worth what it will be in 2-3 years.

I'd like to know whose list it was. (bluebecker). Our investors (12 in all) brought out all the remaining N-N-N's and we'd like to share 5% of the proceeds from this portfolio (as a token of our appreciation) to the owner of this list as and when that happens. Buyandswap, was that you??? Please send us your Paypal email via PM.

In our humble opinion, the base value is at a minimum $100 for now. I doubt these N-N-N's will sell for less than $500 in a year or two.

N-N-Ns are not hype folks. In our research, a good number of these are regd by Chinese citizens. I remember NNN's being sold for $300, even $100 not so long ago.

 

[Bill Roy]

Well I have already put my 21 aquisitions up for sale, it is a market I know nothing about but I do know that when there are buyers about a trader needs stock to sell! Mgrace, I would agree with you on your valuation but in a monthe or two will they be minimum $100, at the moment I have mine much less to see if there is a ready built aftermarket for them. If no takers then we will all have learned a lesson.

 

[PRED]

Don't offer them for sale right away.
There is no real market to resellers yet imo.
There is always a market to endusers if marketed right though & to right people.
Give it a bit of time, lol
If none are dropped in a year then their value will go up a lot.
In the same way NNN or LLL are never dropped & if they are, they are caught.
There is also a chance as hundreds were regged yesterday, some maybe being tasted or some will be thrown back in pool.
Either a large taster or just a noob desperate for $12 back lol
Hold for a few months & forget about them is my opinion, watch what's happening. I won't be selling any for at least a year, maybe to endusers

 

[Bill Roy]

Just taken mine off the market, listen to the voice of reason (or Pred in this case).

Shortly after they were all listed as reg'ed I did a scan and found 6 that had become available so I grabbed them. I think apart from mistakes at registration these will not drop again.

Too late, they seem to have been reg'd already!

I tend to agree with Pred...there is NOT a ready built market for them.

Perhaps the only ones who know they are all regged are those on this forum.

The market will be there when EVERYONE comes to the realization that these are gone.

Someone also echoed my earlier statements of the Chinese market for these domains.

There will be a market and demand.

As far as lessons learned? Learn to trust you instincts.

8, 5, 3, 1 year ago the "experts" were still saying don't buy hyphens. Just look at what is selling on the auction wires and being bought up.

These 3 available at the moment:

0-7-2.COM

Nope.
I checked. They were regged on 9th August & have never dropped

 

[Bill Roy]

Pred, according to GoDaddy I managed to reg 0-7-2.com but the other two were already registered!

Wonder what is going on?

 

[Poohnix]

Nope.
I checked. They were regged on 9th August & have never dropped

I grabbed the other two via moniker today, so they must have dropped somehow if someone else regged them on the 9th.
I regged a few other n-n-n domains a few days ago, and regretted I didn't get more...

Ahh, apologies.
I checked on domaintools like 15 mins ago. Whois can't have updated

Tasters are dropping them (fools LOL)

I picked up another 5 today
Keep checking is what i'd say

 

[Gerry]

Tasters are dropping them (fools LOL)

This is definitely not for a "tasters" market. As mentioned, the market is not fully aware of them being gone.

When that market catches up with the searches and realization that they are none available, then comes the "surge" for the demand followed by the increased marketability for them.

Tasters want to see a quick rapid results driven domain and that just is not going to happen with these.

Patience.

Hopefully we will see an increase in developed sites like Pred gave us a glimpse of for the L-L-L.com.

Still, consider yourself lucky in a sense as this is truly a "limited edition" of a grand total of 1000 ever to exist in this format. It will take a while for folks to come to this realization but they will come.

 

[PRED]

even buydomains aren't onto this
they're catching L-L-L & registering them all over, but don't think they're onto N-N-N

I know people may laugh, but what do you think will happen to com prices when L-L-L.info's etc get nailed
I can hear laughter, but don't forget it happened the same with L-L.com
Then there was L-L.org etc

I have a few L-L.org i paid low-mid xxx for & love & USE! as sites, fancy that :smilewinkgrin: :-#:
