LLLL.coms almost all gone

Hey all,
Just a quick note to see what you think on the LLLL.com situation?

At the start of this week, there were about 5-6k of them left. Now there are less than 2.5k left (and 1k have been registered in the last 3-4 hours!)

This is pretty cool - it seems that all LLLL.coms will be taken in the next 24 hours Have you invested much in them, or do you think they're over-hyped?

I like LLLL.com's in general, but think it's a stretch to register the very worst ones (QKJX.com or whatever), as it's hard to imagine them being very useful as acronyms. (I know that all LLL.com's & .net's have value, but a random group of 3 bad letters is much more memorable - and more likely to make a good acronym - than a random group of 4 bad letters.)

I know! I'm surprised as well.

They're definitely being nailed. If you look over at another of the domaining boards, there's a huge thread there about it. People are regularly registering xx or even xxx LLLL.coms!

My expectations too....

Feelings and thoughts about price value of LLLL.com if they are not being tasted?

Of course some are being tasted, but not too many as new registrations have been growing consistently lately.

I'm pretty sure in a few months there will be no more available and all dropped domains will be snapped

LLLL's are not like LLL's or LLN's etc.

Whoever mass-registers all these "junky" letter combos either tastes them or will drop them a year from now.

Wow, this coming from the real experienced members...
Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I completely disagree. I have nothing more to say, well see in a year or 2 who made the better decision

Alot of people said the same thing about LLL.coms at one point and L-L.coms.... it only takes one decent sale to make the risk worth wild. A lot of people hated .mobi but nontheless, it is reaping profits.... and thats what it comes down to. If someone buys 100 LLLL.com of low to semi quality letters then in under a year sells them for just $20, thats profit. I personally did quality over quant
