Are you accusing me of trying to pump the prices in order to sell all my names quick?
First of all, I don't know much about you personally, but that is low and insulting.
And secondly even if I wanted I can't affect the whole market by myself. I'm simply posting my views. And instead of listing your arguments you trying to make it personal

There are several holders of large portfolios of LLLL .com's that registered them eliminating large parts of the inventory. Now, whether LLLL .com's will be worth $50 or $500 in a few years, that's another story. All I am saying is, that a lot of them will expire and drop when the time comes, because their lifespan depends on traffic revenue. |
Well I certainly agree that there are risks, as always. I understand your logic, but I don't think that can happen.
As I've listed in my blog post the big holders are selling their names and not selling cheap. Why would they let the names drop if they can simply sell a few on the market to finance the reg fees for the rest, or rather sell some to end users for higher prices, like they do. That would be like throwing money away.

As for the 5L's, the number of net users, the online advertising market and thus the domaining space is not likely to keep growing like that for another 7 years, so I don't think that all the LLLLL.com's have value by that time. But just for the record I'm aware of quite a few decent end user sales for random 5 letter domains.
