opinion 5L.com are heating up

[Nick]

Today I had over 100 5-shengmu .COMs (5L with no consonants or v) on my dropcatch list. I was only able to catch 12. I noticed dropcatch.com was among the ones getting those I missed. I didn't have just any random string, though. I had ones that contained "cn", "hk", "sh", "cc" or ending in "c".

Being that there are 3.2 million combinations of 5 shengmu .COMs - what do you think?

I just asked a friend the same question. His 1-word response was perfect: DEMAND.

 

[Nick]

So you missed the LLLL.com boat and the logical step is LLLLL.com 5L domains? Come on people, get real.... get a jump on the curve and go for 6L.com that's LLLLLL.COMs with no v or vowels because those are premiums right?! :shaking head: Stop being a follower and lead... there's only 64 million or so possible 'shamu' (it was shamu you said right) premiums. It's a tiny possible compared to the world's population or just China. LLLLLL.com or bust!

You sound angry about something...I asked for opinions, not insults.

 

[Nick]

Could someone provide any company which using 4L acronyn in their names? I'm talking about largest 1000 companies in the world.

Bing, eBay, IMDB, ESPN, XNXX, Yelp, Etsy, Ikea, Vice, USPS...

The same with the 4L.nets... unless an end user owns the .COM and wants to secure the namespace, they are all domainer driven junk.

Excuse me, but even "domainer driven junk" can make you money, sometimes big. I started registering random Chinese junk LLLL.nets in August for 6-9$ and now they retail for $40 each.
Thats few K unrealised profit growing on hands.

Now English premium LLLL.net, number of free today 30% lower than month ago. Is it new junk? Who knows, but never hurts to register some and find out in few months. Just go with the market flow and you'll be rewarded.

 

[djum]

Comparing making money on the hot market and jumping of the bridge is not perfect.

You really have 3 options:

1. Go with the majority and make money now.
2. Go against the majority and lose money now, but score big if you right and they are wrong (need to have iron balls first)
3. Do nothing, watch, enjoy, make no money, loose no money.

Everyone can choose for themselves.

All 5 premium letters chinese .coms which begins with CN/SH/BJ/GZ are registered few days ago. About 20k registrations in 30 seconds. All gone. Chinese are buying 5L .coms already since 2 weeks ago.

Erm, yep....

ASOS.com (As seen on screen)
FUBU.com (For us, by us)
USPS.com (United states postal service)

But why does it have to be an acronym? Brandables....

ETSY.com
EBAY.com
BING.com
CNET.com
IKEA.com
DELL.com
HULU.com
CITI.com

 

[BrandChimp]

I got ZZTTT .com few weeks ago and since then, I've noticed 57 visits and 3 offer views on sedo.

 

[Nick]

Thank you! I got it for reg fee

Good news for you...I think this one may be a record setter:

 

[DomainVP]

I'm not into any 5L domains that are purely registered based on letter random combinations.

By the time a domain is up to 5 characters I would expect a domain to be extremely pronounceable, or match a Pinyin or English word. Pattern domaining into 5L is just so far into the future, due to the possible permutations that 5 characters can bring - and I'm talking your grandchildren kind of future.

4L's have been all registered for quite some time now... imagine how long it will take for a true 5L unavailabilty based on letter combinations.

I see a lot of new domainers that haven't done the research buying in the 5L namespace, which is what I think accounts for the domains disappearing and renewed interest. The same with the 4L.nets... unless an end user owns the .COM and wants to secure the namespace, they are all domainer driven junk.

It's lazy domaining based on a prayer, and at this point with domains you can't be lazy if you are just getting started. The good news is that anyone reading this right now in 9/28/2015, you will likely be ahead of all other domainers who start after that - so buy smarter than random 4L+ letter combinations.

If there are 3.2m of them I just can't see them ever being worth much. Sure someone's speculating but think about it as a proportion of the entire population of planet earth. That's a relatively large portion of the populace who has to want to own a lllll.com to make them worth anything.

Not only that but you'd be in competition with all the non lllll.com's people might want to own.

 

[Thasting]

Glad I had a couple LLLLL.com names. Just got an offer yesterday $220 for vatts.com

 

[Chris Hydrick]

Stop being a follower and lead... there's only 64 million or so possible 'shamu' (it was shamu you said right) premiums.

If you're going to insult somebody, then why not take the time to scroll up and get the facts right? It's 'shengmu' not 'shamu' in case you have yet to scroll up. If this ignorance was an intentional attempt to ease the baby shaking post, then forgive me for not seeing your dry sense of humor.

Since I'm not seasoned in chinese domains, I found this post very insightful.

 

[BostonDomainer]

It's all good. I was insulted only until I saw it was coming from someone who registered "VR777/777VR". (So, NNNLL is ok but not LLLLL- right.)

Hey Nick. I'm man enough to say you have my apology. I spoke before I crunched the numbers and the Chinese are spending. I put my software to work and you are not wrong. The 5L Chinese domains are more then heating up.So thanks for your post as I am now entertaining this arena. Again, apologies good sir.

LLLCN.com domains, where LLLs don't have vowels or v seem to be mostly gone now.

The ones I did register:
llpcn.com
llxcn.com
ppmcn.com
qqxcn.com
qqncn.com

The ones I wanted to register but were gone at checkout:
bbmcn.com
bbncn.com
bbzcn.com
mmncn.com
mmzcn.com
nnbcn.com
nnmcn.com
xxccn.com
zzmcn.com
zcccn.com
mnncn.com
xnncn.com
znncn.com
xmmcn.com
bxxcn.com
cxxcn.com
nxxcn.com
nzzcn.com
zcccn.com
ycccn.com

I have no idea whether any of them have any value whatsoever, but I was willing to risk a couple of hundred to find out.

Remains to be seen if it was a costly mistake or not.

 

[Genius327]

I checked all HKxxx.com combinations, where x = any consonant without V.

And these 4 are literally the last remaining ones!

HKFBC.com
HKJHZ.com
HKLXJ.com
HKZJC.com

bjzxj.com closed at $82 on pheenix.

In their expiring auctions, however, there were a dozen or so that got zero bids and will drop. (min. bid is $29. a few of them were patters like AABBC.com)

I don't know if this means you should look out for BJ or JS etc. prefixes only or if patterns will be good. Just providing a data point that might be helpful.

...think about it as a proportion of the entire population of planet earth.

Funny you mention that...I was actually thinking about the population in China, as it's something like 1.5 billion. So, if my math is correct, there are enough of these to fulfill .002% of the Chinese population.

 

[Wannabean]

I agree, which is why I personally invested in gTLDs. However, I'm noticing that gTLDs aren't as heavily promoted in the east, like they are in the west.

Interesting but domain investors won't drive the market in it's maturity stage, which is where the big bucks will spent. Figure out what end users over there want and if you know better than the rest of us, (which you may do) you'll do very well.

 

[Thasting]

seems like a fair offer id you accept? sorry for going off topic

Yes, I accepted. That was more money then I had been selling LLLL.com's for.

Could someone provide any company which using 4L acronyn in their names? I'm talking about largest 1000 companies in the world. 5L acronym is out of my mind, same with 4L domains. Demand created by noob Chinese domainers followed by others.

More than half of LLL.com domains is still undeveloped and owned by domain resellers, why? Because of low demand by end users, not because of their high price, as any middle level company can afford $20k domain name (Minimum wholesale price for LLL.com)
