What's the next Domain rush?

[DomainMagnate]

have you done an L-L.ca scan on your blog lately? It's a slow, painful buyout.

yeah, well gotta admit names like x-q.ca, z-w.ca etc probably don't have much end user potential, but all the good letters are registered and I think they are great. LL.ca approaching $4-5K min prices, so the L-L.ca will be cheaper alternative for end users

 

[hugegrowth]

All the LLL.ca got bought out, even the poor combinations, so I'm surprised the L-L are taking so long, because of how few there are.

back to the thread folks - anyone got any % stats for domain niches
ie % of cvcvc.coms vcvcv.coms - llll.mobi - already reged etc etc

46% of LLLL.nets remain (xxx are regged per day)

 

[Yaadoo]

and how many drop? xxx?

Market already spread too thin. I've got like only a few LLLL.net but I don't think they ain't going to take off. Not this year, probably not the next year either.

LL-L & L-LL.com are the last major buyout and it's happening now

about 6k left of each

 

[Yaadoo]

LL-L.com and L-LL.com seems to be going somewhere since numbers are limited and there are quite a few resellers going at it. But honestly, I don't think it will go far in the long-run. It might go up for a bit then drop like a rock after.

- are bad, no one wants them. There's notthing worst than telling someone to go to L-LL.com. Some people might just go to the LLL.com or comuter noobs might not even know where to type in the dash. Businesses don't like that.

Also some people speculate that NNNNN.com will hit $50 for any random one. Anytime between 1-2 years or less. But I personally think it will probably reach $35-$40 within under a year. Maybe 6 months or even less. Just my 2 cents though.

Don't want to crash the party, but people tend to overrate a buyout. A buyout won't make more end user sales in any category.

Lately domainers tend to invent "end user potential" in domain niches where there is very little end user potential. Instead of this, domainers should follow end users, and I think I read a good post on this thread. Localwhatever.com domains will get stronger because of the end user potential.

But hey, there can be no buyout of these, so domainers don't like them.

sarcasm:
Why not LLL.name? So little LLL.name left, and there are still all premium letter combinations available for regfee.... I would not be surprised to see posts like this in the immediate future if the buyout trend continues.

IMO, LLLL.com's have end user potential. There are daily reported end user sales (just look at Afternic, some at Sedo and many private sales). But the end user sales did not come together with the buyout, there were end user sales even before the buyout.

i would say 4L.mobi or premium 5L.com , btw dolansco love your avatar

 

[thevirtual]

4L.mobi = worthless

 

[Yaadoo]

5L.com = worthless

 

[silverdom]

4L.mobi = worthless

means you didn't own one.

I have 2 of them with 12-15 uniqs per day.

Most of the coms sold here even not close to these stats.

It's all depends.

xx drop per day, on average.

After weighing in drops, the total LLLL.net numbers always are falling by xxx per day.

See GFNB.net for more information

You might have registered two good typos but that doesn't make 4L.mobi valuable.

Most .mobis aren't as close to most .coms sold here.

loads of good opinions

my favourites are

5 letter coms
geo coms
and .ca is a good punt but i like many don't qualify

but ive plunged into buying in 5 letter coms at reg fee only
ive sold a good number over the last year and can only see the market improving for the right kind of 5 letter coms

time will tell

geo coms have been in a monster rush for quite sometime. Actually, just about geo anything (net, info, org, us, ca).

Finding one is going to be few and far between but not impossible.

I found two dropped last week, one a superb of Paris, France (quite fashionable with the in-crowd) and another a sizeable town in New York with nearly 50K google links to it.

As mentioned earlier, 5 letter coms are and will be hot FOR THE GOOD ONES! Regs for the sake of regging are riskier as there are nearly 12 million combos in this. Two word combos can be had for reg fee.

For those dissing the .mobi, I thank you. Do stay away from them. They are trash, they are not worth it, they will never amount to anything, they do not get traffic, no one will use them, and no one cares for them.

There are a couple of other areas to be mined. But that is where I am currently digging...

 

[Rubber Duck]

The next big thing in my opinion is a Sub-Prime shake down! There are going to be millions of worthless domains dropping in the next year, many of which have far more chance of making it than most of the junk being touted here!

 

[mediawizard]

Anyone mentioned dictionary .in?

I'd rather have one of those than xx-x-xx.tld or similar.

4l.net seems like a pipe dream for at least a couple of years, though premiums are getting 2x reg fee even now.

Last list i got of 5L.com - vcvcv.com - only 1k were left (all premium) and about 10k cvcvc.com (all premium) - so someone is buying those for sure.

.org has some potential as I see it, how much and to whom is anyones guess, .info/.mobi - nope, even LLLL are impossible to sell... seem to going down the .us path.

.asia is doa imho

While I do like 5 letter .com's that are brandable (like my name, which a few months after I registered it a French company named themselves Incka too and now employ at least 50 people (according to linkedin) - Some empirical evidence that 5 letter that have enough vowels in them are potentially worth something. I'd be interesting to see how many CVCie.com and CVCey.com are available (even with non premium letters).

I really don't think LLLL.mobi is worth anything, and I think LLLL.org is worth more than LLLL.net (which I don't think in most cases is worth anything) as imho has end user potential - but for LLLL domains non premium letters that don't have many google results aren't worth (even if they have exchange value) anything - even on .com.

Premium (which depends on the language of the country) LLL.ccTLD I think are quite valuable. Most LLL.ch have been bought (Switzerland) and I recon the rest will be bought out soon. Any countries with a good GDP per capita and OK gini coefficient (so wealth isn't too concentrated) will have a good market for LLL.ccTLD so a buyout of these will be profitable. I'm spending some spare cash getting some good ones.

I think good one word .pro will become more registered, and will have value when (if) the registry opens up to more general registration and makes it prices on par with .com. I like the sound of .pro and think end users would too. Some gems are still available where the .com would go for over $100,000. Sadly reg fee is about $100 a year and nameservers can't be added (although A records can be). This might be a long shot - but if it opens up then some high profile sites start using it then it's going to be more valuable than .info and .biz imho.

In terms of already regged values I think good quality LLL.com .org and .net will go up in price significantly. You can snap up all premium LLL.org for less than $1000. I doubt this will last that long.

NNN.co.in are going fast, only about 650 left.

So I think the next rush will be NNN.co.in.
