And i also believe that it was a marketing technique. Just imagine 200 sales of their crappy 500$ domains, and 100k there you go..

Kind of funny if you think about it.
Good Luck to those who 'got some'.

A better trick would've been to alert the domaining community that they were going to release a number of LLL.coms over the next few weeks at say $999, one at a time, first come first served - whipping up a frenzy of interest. No good saying 'here's what you could've won...'
I'd say this was a balls up - not a marketing strategy.

| This was definitely a Marketing stunt. I just went trough all their domains and I couldn't find one domain worth anything, most of the domains are typos of domains... Like I thought to have found the steal of the year BlindDates.com but it was BindDates.com And they have changed their asking prices to $1,200 now.

| NameBio should remove these sales. They distort the numbers.

One thing you can expect from NameBio is the truth, regardless of how it may "impact" the numbers. There is no question here that LLL.com's consistently gain month after month and are one of the safest bets in the industry.
This tiny issue simply indicates a mistake from one huge portfolio holder. This wasn't a marketing gimmick, this was a clear and dumb error.
When people go to analyze the sales data, if they do proper homework, they will understand that these were "fluke" sales. They happen. Every domainer worth his his salt would be salivating if presented with these deals which is another reason I reported this on our Blog, and in several forum postings.
Transparency is needed in our industry, in nearly every sector. That is going to be the only way we will ever legitimize ourselves.

| Domains that are undervalued in a big way should not be included in sales figures.
If i sell my home for $1 to a friend...that doesn't mean it should be recorded as the current valued price. | |

| Dump sales of LLL like that should be outlawed IMO - unless I am the buyer of course 
What do you think Sen. Snowe ?

Infact, NameBio only reports the domain sales (as it currently stands). It is my opinion that any repository of information should be as complete and accurate as possible, even with the rare occasion that a domain sells well below wholesale value or even well above it. | |
