Testing the water to domain trends and especially to 5L.com

    As everybody here in the forum i love domains.
    It doesn't matter which generic high value domain i have/will get
    I always like to discover more, new names or just trends. I feel like Pacman, i like dots A LOT.

    I test the water for different trends.
    Sometimes i just put a finger, sometime the whole leg :)

    Prefix trends (e,i), suffix trends (360.com), pattern trends (VCVCV, CVCVC...)

    Lately i wanted the see how the 5L.com can go and tried today after 8 months of their registration to sell 87 of them for only $5 each
    Here's the topic of the 5L list

    I noticed views but no sale interest so far
    The same sale offers for a set of CCC.net went MUCH better. All my CCC.net gone quickly and we're talking for NLL, NNL and other combinations, nothing so fancy.

    I agree that the 5L.com are fragile and risky, many names are crap but there is some interest.
    I didn't want to increase their value that's why i tried to flip with $5 that is less than reg.fee

    What's your opinion about the 5L market ?

    Reseller for these random Nll, NNl. or 5L is not only risky. In a terrible economy, you are paying the yearly registration fees.

    There's no market for them, unless they are a used phrase or meaningful. Better develop what you can and let go of the rest. Because domaining just got more sophisticated.

    The CCC.com have steady and good sales. The CCC.net are not so popular but so i sold more than 110 names.
    Both options are not available for hand-registration

    Only the 5L.com have slower selling rhythms.

    11.881.376 different LLLLL.com and there are 47.952 different CCC.net

    well I'd never buy a LLLLL.com, unless it was a keyword ;)
