LLL.com value?

[allanh]

in general terms, what is the approximate value of a 3 same letter .com worth?

e.g. aaa.com ?

 

[Johnn]

x,xxx,xxx

 

[allanh]

hey, John , thanks for your input.

It xx,xxx the general consensus here?

 

[Johnn]

It depends on the letter and combination - The price may run from 2K to Million of Dollar.

 

[allanh]

but no matter how bad the letters are, say the worst of the bunch, qqq.com, the value would still be more than 5K for sure? (maybe I am wrong)

 

[Rico]

$80,000

 

[jandy519]

the same letter.....
I think easily $xxxxx

 

[Domainator]

Johnn and Rico are both correct with the examples you set forth. LLL domains can vary from a few thousand to a few million I would imagine. There are many variables--TM issues, pronounceability, brandability, type-in traffic, like letters, and so forth.

There are few really good names in the availble pool of names being sold--their values are high, but for the run of the mill LLL's avaible on the resale market, especially those with "z", "u", "x" etc those are under 10k and closer to 3k-5k.

Lastly, another rule of thumb to go by...a domain is only worth what someone else will potentially pay for it, determining who, what, when and where that someone else is, is the key....

:uhoh:

mid-high $XX.XXX

 

[msl]

but no matter how bad the letters are, say the worst of the bunch, qqq.com, the value would still be more than 5K for sure? (maybe I am wrong)

allanh
johnn is spot on.... there is and has been no 3 same LLL.com that has ever been under sold....

for a good triplet you would be looking at xx,xxx+ RESELL and xxx,xxx+ MIN to enduser developed and high xxx,xxx to x,xxx,xxx for a super mega triplet... we know

do you have one or access to one... if so PM us

 

[allanh]

thanks for all the opinions. Unfortunately, msl, I don't own a LLL.com (yet). The reason why I created this thread is to get a reference when I buy one

 

[DeenChen]

over 10K

 

[GT Web]

$3000 and up.

 

[ClickHoldem]

agreed....3K and up.

 

[dolansco]

$10k absolute min ..... id give it now for worst combo ..

I believe they get a lot of curiosity traffic ? ( or used to at least )

 

[Rico]

ill give you 20k

I agree with Domainator. The three character appraisals depends on multitude of factors:
(in the order of raising value, #1 being least)

1. Uncommon letters (no z, q, k, x, y, j are that valuable ($3k -$5k) EXCEPT if they spell a word or acronym/abbrev, so a vowel in there may push the value)

2. Acronym search - do they represent a few organizations or companies that haven't TM'd their abbreviations? Any LLL.com that ends in O or A or G or C that don't have Z or X AND match a few organizations, groups, or committees and conferences and conventions - bingo, the domain jumps to a mid low five figure domain.

3. Do they spell a word you can pronounce and defines something on its own? Sweet --you're looking at a domain worth high five figures up to a million or more (depending on the work the domain spells).

This same theorem applies to .net and .org, and even the .biz, .us, and .info domains, but cut the value in half or by 70 % as listed for a .com.

Again, it's all dependent on how bad the buyer wants it.

All in all, any three character domain, whether it's mixed with numbers or all letters, is valuable in the long run, especially if those characters work together to create a decent and memorable brand.

My advice as an appraiser is to hang on to any three character domain name in the top three TLD's, no matter what their alphanumeric combos are. They will all be worth a lot more a year or two from now than they will right now. Don't sell them out for the $100 prices I'm seeing on these boards just because they have a "z" and a "8" and "q" in them and are a .org. That domain, (i don't know who owns it, i just pulled it out of the air, will be worth at least $1000 by 2008.

Why? Heavy trading in limited character domains, high brand value, and most of all -- -LIMITED POSSIBILITIES OF COMBINATIONS.

Johnn and Rico are both correct with the examples you set forth. LLL domains can vary from a few thousand to a few million I would imagine. There are many variables--TM issues, pronounceability, brandability, type-in traffic, like letters, and so forth.

What would .net do with 3 of a kind letters?

 

[zesty]

In the category of same letter 3-letter .coms, 26 total exist. Here's their breakdown:

AAA – Triple A Auto Club
BBB – Better Business Bureau
CCC – Cole Computer Consulting - No Website
DDD - Dynamic Digital Depth
EEE – Anything.com (parked)
FFF - Next Navigation Pty Ltd (parked)
GGG - Great Glorious Grapevine
HHH – MCV Group
III - Innovative Interfaces Inc – No Website
JJJ - Next Navigation Pty Ltd (parked)
KKK – Klu Klux Klan
LLL - Level 3 Communications, Inc
MMM – 3M Corporation
NNN - Raquel Fernandez (parked)
OOO – Anything.com (parked)
PPP - Pflaums Posthotel Pegnitz
QQQ – JoHo Fair Trade
RRR – Risk Return Reporter
SSS - Software Services and Solutions Inc – No Website
TTT – Test Technologist Team, Inc
UUU - Ucom Information Technologies, Inc – No Website
VVV – Pacific Interconnect
WWW - CNet
XXX – Anything.com
YYY - Unknown
ZZZ - Internet communications Inc

Anything.com owns three of them and the rest are mostly owned by companies. Several do not have website's attached to them, but the registrants name in each case matches the letter combo. I haven't seen any same letter 3-letter domains sell within the last two years.

Great thread. For LLL.com's in general (various letter combos), letter quality plays a great part in wholesale value. If the acronym is well known, that is a big factor also, as is if the LLL combo spells a word. Almost any premium LLL.com combo is going to be $xx,xxx minimum (wholesale), and the low-end LLL.com domains of lesser quality start at about $3k and go up very quickly from there (on the wholesale market).

Hope this helps,
zesty

Just to bring this thread back to life...

I have recently been offered a LLL.com ( the "L" being the same letter!!) for about 19K, is it a bargain or is it a normal price?

It's a good letter (i.e not one of the 'bad' letters).
