    Im sure most people on here know how much these things are worth. On ebay some are over x,xxx. Thats a lot of money. I was thinking some of the names and letter combinatons are total junk. Anyways I was thinking does anyone think the market for 3 letter domains will crash.

    Theoretically all markets will eventually stop growing because new ones open in their place. For example teh newspaper was replaced with the radio, which was replaced with the TV, which was replaced with the internet. As soon as the next big thing comes out the market of LLL domains will significantly decrease.

    On the otherhand, just cause we have the web, people still buy TV ads, and cause we have TV people still buy radio ads, and cause we have radio's people still buy newspaper ads. So in practicality it will never crash.

    On a supply adn demand view of it, the demand increases as mroe buyers are getting into the market, at same time the supply cannot increase, as there is a set limit on the combinations of the letters, there are only so many domains, and in fact as more and more are getting developed, less and less are available on teh resale market. Thus meaning the supply is shrinking with demand growing, these two elements combined guarantee a good future.

    No I dont think so.....but if you have the wrong combination of letters, it isn't going to do you a lot of good. The chances of an qqd.com or some other weird combo I would think will be hard to find someone needing that combo...however a three letter domain name is still a valuable asset to have, you just might play hell trying to find a buyer for it...

    pool.com has a lot of 3 letter names come up all the time available, it is all about the combo of the letters.

    Good Luck

    You will find hundreds if not thousands of unregistered 3 letter domains, the issue here is that 3 letter domains of certain TLD extentions have a value.

    1. .COM
    2. .NET
    3. .ORG
    4. .INFO
    5. .US
    6. .BIZ

    Those are listed by value from highest to lowest. You might sell a 3 letter domain in another extention if it has a meaning like DOG or CAT, but ZXQ.VG is worth less then the amount you need to pay to register the domain.

    NEVER drop, I highly highly highly doubt it. This is a booming market and once taken, always taken in my opinion.
