Have I gone insane with my domain registrations?

Decided to take a bit of a gamble & registered 3 NNNNN.co.uk domains. Picked up these NNNNN.co.uk (40000, 70000 & 90000), these were the last ones available ending in "0000". So what do you think? Comments on these names are appreciated.

These are the sales of some numbered domains:

5000.com $14,000 2007-03-16 Sedo
3000.com $12,000 2007-02-08 Sedo
7888.com $1,888 2005-12-28 Afternic
77301.com $1,800 2005-07-29 Afternic
4007.com $1,500 2006-10-18 Afternic
4770.com $1,150 2007-03-01 Sedo
3010.com $1,000 2006-11-01 Afternic
8000.mobi $665 2007-03-07 Sedo

 

I believe all those "sales" displayed at Sedo and Afternic are fake.

I have several number-domains that tried to sell in the past but nobody was interested in pay at least the registration fee

 

I've no idea, I'd be interested to hear how you get on though!

 

I wish you to sell all your domains at XX,000 $ but I'm not so sure about theese Sedo's & Afternick stats...

Anyway, let us know the way things go with theese domains, and BEST LUCK !

 

Thanks for the replies. Just curious, what makes you think that those sales are fake & how would they be able to be faked???

 

Common Sense.
Those domains not worth those prices!

 

Hardly believe that someone pays out 14,000 $ for 5000.com, as -I believe- this number doesn't rapresent something particular... (or I go wrong about 5000 ? )

 

Well, here's the NN.com & NNN.com sales:

20.com
$75,000 2006-08-22 Sedo
32.com
$50,000 2006-11-14 Sedo
757.com
$29,410 2006-12-28 Moniker/DomainSystems
250.com
$21,000 2007-01-24 DNForum
267.com
$14,500 2006-02-24 Afternic
392.com
$6,780 2006-12-30 Sedo

IMO, 4 digit numbers like 5000.com is easier to remember & more valuable than a NNN.com like 267 or 392 as they are harder to remember.

 

I'm sure I'm getting wrong, but I find more brandable 267 or 392 than 5000.
Reason being the way you pronounce it while promoting:

"Remember, www. two-six-seven dot com"
or
"Remember, www. three-nine-two (or betta three - ninetytwo) dot com"

against

"Remember, www. five thousand (I'd rather prefer fifty-double zero or five triple zero) dot com".

Well, it's my humble opinion, but I find more memory-imprinter the first two (the value comes as a consequence..).

Cheers

 

.. you have to find someone who is willing to pay that kind of doe .. like a company named with the abbreviated or something like that.
