Why the 2007 LLLL.com buyout will not hold:
Here’s my reasoning why the LLLL.com buyout will not hold & soon you will see domains that you would have paid $90 or so for.. dropping & becoming available for $8 each..
1.) The LLLL.com buyout which originally happened in earlier 2003 or so – it did not hold weight & reaped again in late 2007.
2.) The LLLL.com buyout that happened in Late (november) 2007, is a surge wave of the domains that yuppies thought would hold proper value. As a tri-fecta effect, their values soared up to 10x the domain’s original cost just for being in the 4 letter .com class. Buyers bought & sellers sold. Today in July 20th 2009, it’s a bit different.
3.) The economy in the USA & globally is suffering. So why should these domains be subject to high value? The bigger they are, the harder they drop is an understatement in the domain market these days. With such high renewal fees & the effort to sell your expiring domains has become an expense. The exit strategy, cover your privates & run with your profits. Everyone is letting their ugly LLLL’s drop like flies.
4.) The ugly domains are a push over. Good luck trying to make sense of 3 conjunctive letters & 1 vowel. Even the worst radio stations don’t buy LLLL.com domains – I learned the hard way
I am not dissing LLLL.com domains at all. I am just giving my four points why the buyout will not hold up. I am no longer looking to provide avalable lists because – I am unable to flip LLLL.com drop catches to end users or resellers.
A domain’s value lies in the buyer’s perception of it’s worth. If you read my blog, I would recommend against four letter .com domains entirely until the global markets render better profits for the time, exhaustion & struggle to catch the LLLL.com availables & drops.
