I already have a short one character domain myself. I'm the co-owner of http://X.vu, which we are developing to be the next big url redirection service!
They already did and they have already gone, unless you are talking about those fandangled European character sets.

Seems url redirect services are getting more popular now with twitter rising in popularity and people discovering it is better to have their own redirect service url then to "brand" bit.ly

It was not too long ago there were lots of two letter cctlds out there. I let a bunch expire because they were so expensive to keep. I am glad that I held onto the few Mr.XX and Ms.XX that I had. Just to find some bigshot from those places or someone with the initials.

Funny, I had gotten l.tl ("little") around the time this thread started but never noticed this thread. It'd probably take a house to unclaw my kung-fu grip on it, but who knows. I think if Twitter stays as the trendy place to be and characters and space become ever so important (lord knows what else they'll introduce there in the future), then names like this will continue to be in high demand. I think most regular people don't realize how rare they are and that not all ccTLDs offer 1-letter or even 2-letter ccTLDs.

The only problem is the best cctld investments are .co.uk .de and and only .de has released 1 and 2 character .de names that was recently auctioned off at sedo i think they have to be the best investments if some one manages to get one cheap enough. tv.de sold for tv.de 279,499 EUR thats over $400k

That's what I don't understand. First of all it's 5 characters and second; they are "branding" somebody else.

The interest is there. I get bids at least a couple a month on my one letters. Just a matter of how high. Lots of lowballers in the $xxx range -_-

I haven't got any recently, perhaps I'm just not advertising (which I should be as I'm in a sale-orientated mindset on them) - My stock includes u.bb, and most of the 1 number .bb domains.

I thought the 1 letter .biz domains went for little to say that is seen as a major extension (if in decline)

I have AA.cc, and have received about 60 offers or so on it. I get offers in the Mid XXXX range all the time. I think if I hold out a bit I can get a bit more. I have noticed lots of the 2 letter .cc names selling recently...and most recently WZ.cc sold for mid XXXX. Seems as though many are wanting shorter names these days.
