LLLL.com Price Fluctuation

Feeling a lot better now and am eager to get going once again. Firstly, I got interviewed by Michael of Domain Magnate, so just follow the link to read the interview. Hopefully, you enjoy reading it

On a more serious note, the dip in the prices of the low-grade LLLL.com’s has created ripples of fear in the domaining scene as many people saw this as an opportunity to gain quick profits and now that the prices have begun getting “corrected” they are desperate to ditch their domains.

Reece of 4letternoob.com has some really good insights in regards to this and I strongly urge you to check his blog out. I myself am a holder of 20 odd “lower-quality” LLLL.com’s but frankly speaking, I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. This is the time that most speculators will be ditching their domains and this provides the ideal opportunity for others like myself to pick these up for cheap.

So much so, that I’ve finally decided to ditch a dozen triple premiums and invest in a couple of quad premiums. I feel it’s always better to spread my risks rather than consolidate all my assets (LLLL.com’s in this case :p) in the same place. Who knows, maybe quad premiums will be the next ones to take a dip, so it might be wise to retain at least 10 or so triple premiums to be on the safe side.

Feel free to comment and tell me what you think of this current situation.

Moniker’s TRAFFIC Auction Sees Some Kickass LLLL.com Sales

Sorry for the sudden absence but had the flu and was busy with other things. This transition of seasons is pretty bad as it’s the time when most people get a bout of the flu and I got to say, it’s irritating as hell.
I’m more an outdoors kind of guy (couldn’t tell, could you) and I really go insane once the flu hits me. Breaking things around me, tearing my carefully maintained “offline journal” (those things still do exist) are frequent occurrences in this time.

I like to rant for hours and believe me, it’s easy to keep going when you’ve started, but I’ll spare you the torture and get to the essence of the matter.

The much-publicized Moniker TRAFFIC Live Auction saw some sales of dictionary words cum LLLL.com’s which should put the industry in a pretty good mood.

DVDs.com sold at 300K which is understandable given the nature of the word. One of the most popularly used words in today’s world, this one was bound to get at least this amount. Kudos to the new owner.

Now, the slightly controversial part, Hoax.com sold for $70,000 which was a bit too pricey, in my humble opinion. It’s certainly not a commonly used word and I don’t see much monetization revolving around the word. I mean, which reputable business would like to have a site called Hoax.com?

On the other hand, Gags.com sold for a mere $40,000 which this time I feel is a tad undervalued. Gags are hot and the products revolving around them are even hotter. A site like Bored.com would have been an ideal choice for an end-user (presumably?) Feel free to disagree with me but I feel the buyer got a steal at that price.

OKay, got that out of my mind so I’m back to smashing things around me :p
