Fatter, you are welcome to have you own thread to talk about values of 4 letter dot com. What I am reporting here is just plain facts. People should make their own judgement by looking the sale number. Look at the the outlet like ebay or tdnam, you may have a better picture.

I think most 4 letter domain registrations are from hype in the domain business, mainly from people who control a lot of 4 letter domains. I dont see a business model where they can be utilized unless the abbreviations or word means something or is easily remmembered like chit etc. with the low price most are selling for I think a lot of domainers will lose money when comparing reg fees against sales, trying to remmember random 4 letter domains is pretty difficult to build a website around them so i just dont think there is a use for most of the combinations now available

I concur. IMO, the only value if any will come primarily from domainer to domainer sales, same as names like XQY.COM only longer and less valuable, where's the real value?

my apologies 3par i didnt realize you were speaking of your site(which by the way is a good tool) i thought the conversation was about 4 letter domains i will delete my previous posts

I just sold a 4 letter .com last week for $6500.. it was not even pronounceable.

 

[RazorNF]

Yeah, they not be pronouncable, to be worth something.

A lot of searches in the search engines for these combinations will more often then not, yield at least a few results for organizations who use it as an acronym for their full name, whome probably represent your best bets for a potential sale...

 

[Ubiquitous]

Thanks for the resource 3par...

Interesting enough I found one on there that is an actual city name (not abbreviated). Think I should reg it?

 

[hugegrowth]

July 9 down to 75.5k available.

There are zero 4 letter domains available without q,z,x,g,v,j,w,k,y,u,h

[Malaysia]

yeah no wonder i sold few LLLL.com in tdnam these few days..

 

[H2FC]

I wonder how many different possible combinations of 4 letters there are for the .coms? Maybe some of you math pros out there can enlighten me. I used to know how to figure that myself but I've forgotten and too lazy to look it up...Thanks.

 

[fatter]

I think some where around 460,000 if memory serves me right

 

[BostonDomainer]

yes... sells have been good lately.... I sold woxe.com on here for some good change a few months back.... received a low x,xxx offer for woxa.com last week which I turned down.... wish I had held on to woxe.com also :-( I just don't want 5-10 years from now to be wishing I had held on to my 4 letter .COMs as I know alot of people made that mistakes with the 2 letter .COMs.... thanks for posting your finds

26 Letters in the alphabet....
(simply multiply 26 four times)

26*26*26*26 = 456,976

----------

Now, using some of the more popular letter combinations, using the following letters for the first three letters:

a,b,c,d,f,g,h,i,m,n,p,s,t (13 Letters)

Using the best last letter (a,c,g,i,n,s) - 6 letters

High-quality formula 13*13*13*6 = 13,182 (high-quality combinations)

----------

So, out of 456,976 possible combinations, I estimate there are between 10,000 and 20,000 high-quality 4-letter combinations.

----------

Looking at DNJournal's latest sales (Mon. July 3, 2006 - Sun. July 9, 2006), two 4-letter domains made the top 20, however one was a word (else.com, which sold for $8,200). KMAC.com sold for $7,100 (which comes close to my high-qualtiy formula... I did not include K as one of the first 3 letters).

Also (DOT NETS), zona.net sold for $1,702 and nrem.net sold for $1,539.

----------

There are 17,576 three-letter combinations. A high-quality 4-letter domain is better than a low-quality 3-letter domain. For example, I'd rather have ssss.com, abcd.com, wxyz.com, or bbbc.com than jzq.com.

 

[H2FC]

Great info....thanks a lot

 

[italiandragon]

it seems...they are ending faster:

A total of 71584 domain names are found.

italiandragon, as said on dyyo, there are at least 5 registrars testing those 4 letter domains constantly. They can register up to 10K domain at a time. The monthly net rate of registration is about 4~5K.
