well once they are all gone it will automatically go up did you eve believed .com's prices would go up
Personally, I'm not investing in them, I don't really see much potential in the short term & would rather put my money somewhere else with better growth.
I think there's more promise in the LLLLL.com market to be honest, bought one here a week or two back, princely sum of $12 - instantly put it back up here and got an offer within an hour or so of $80.00 which I still think was a bargain. LLLL.net names, hmmmmmm ok the real premium ones I can understand, but not every combination of non premium letters, I don't think they'll enjoy this same sudden burst of activity that the the .coms have enjoyed recently. Who knows though, domaining is an odd business, with a mind it seems often, of it's own. Time will tell I guess.
I wouldn't invest a great deal in LLLL.net yet. It took years for LLLL.com to get registered and the .NET market is no where near the .COM currently.
Exactly agree with Duncan. And LLLL.com like 25 million combos... Impossible. LLLL.com last one to do this. So it's still got long way to go.
Well I get the feeling that ccc.nets are being picked up for cheap as they have a better chance of going up in value. Also there are non of them available for registration as of now. It was the same with 3 character .coms. They were sold for $50-60 3 years back. Now none of them go under $300-350 I suppose. Unless all 4l .nets and .orgs are taken (which I believe will take some time) the value of .nets will remain on the lower side. The market for l-l.nets n-n.nets and .coms are growing steadily.
The situation with LLLL.net is shaky. Whether anyone says it is a bad or good investment is simply stating their opinion. I've had this discussion with 4-5 people in the last week and if anyone here is running a scanner and seeing what's been going on behind the scenes you would understand where a majority of these posters are coming from. It may seem like a bad investment RIGHT NOW, but in a year you might be kicking yourself for not picking any up. I've personally not been reg'in LLLL.net except for the really good ones. Picked up some on the secondary market through e-mails and am happy/satisfied with what I have. Better safe than sorry... we see these LLLL.com selling for $50-$60... but 2-4 months ago they could've been bought for $6.95. This is simply from a domainers point of view. People here are mainly looking for a quick flip--20$ profit--and move on. Others are buying the *nice* domains for good prices NOW and waiting for them to appreciate. Domains are a virtual commodity.... what can run out will appreciate given the supply and demand. .COM vs .NET is something that's always discussed. Average Joe might take DIRT.net for $10,000 and be happy instead of DIRT.com for $1,000,000. If there's money to possibly be made, why the hell not. Just watch the scans. Picking up 5-10 for reg fee might not hurt if you can find decent ones with premium letters right now. I'm by no means promoting LLLL.net... everyone can invest at their own risk. I'm just simply trying to make a point.
