Why are there so many LLLL.com's selling for $$$ or below?

Last year there were 80+ LLLL domains that sold for over $$,$$$.
Some of these are obvious, but others are not...

The majority of LLLL combinations are jumbled up letters that don't form a word, or cannot be pronounced - unless you speak Klingon - hence the minimal 'coinage' value.

Exactly, most LLLL names mean nothing and will only be sold from one domainer to another as if it were just some limited edition collector's item numbered _____ of 456,976. Their "true" value is really not based on anything real or usable though.

I use these criteria

if the 4 letters has google search results over 1 million, it will definitely sell for good money

less than 100k in google search results is not a good combination

plus google keywords exact match if it is over 10,000 it means you have got something very valuable

sometimes, it depends on "who" the seller is, as well as, "who" was the buyer.

chinese domainers are now grabbing anything that has no vowels or the letter v.
it does not matter if it's a 4L.com or 3L.com. that is why you see 3L.com with no v or aeiou sell well into 5 figures and a very good one fetches 6 figures.

there is a very large inventory for sale for 4L.com. domainers are dusting off 4L.com they have owned for a decade and listing them on flippa, gd, etc. but some of their asking prices will not result in sales. thing is traditional premium letters include a, e, i and o, so you have not seen 4L.com and 3L.com that have aeio jump much in price and domainers are holding on to those longer.

apparently there's no v sound in mandarin (not sure about other main languages in china, like cantonese?) but it is a very recent thing, only started hearing of this requirement for letter domains in the last 12-18 months. on the vowels that's a little older as some have wanted 3L.com 4L.com with no vowels for quite some time. but vowel sounds do exist in their languages so i'm not sure why they avoid them.

will some chinese domainer reading this tell us for sure?

Basically the numbers are inflated due to sales are being REPORTED, BUT NEVER CLOSED!!!!!!

This is repeating history of 2008, when lot of people were buying worse LLLL.com for atleast 100 plus. So here we are, domainers selling domainers drove up the market, and most of the data you are talking about ARE NOT CONFIRMED sales.

So go figure, Dont buy it now, Way overpriced, and the market will cool again, when these inflated numbers will be taken out of equation, which will happen after the Suckers done buying the names, and they will not be able to sell, and prices will come down.

Happy Sell, Dont Buy!!!! or Regret in few months or next year.

If it is a name like Cars.com, well that is a word, but anything but aeiouv LLLL.coms are Chinese names. Let them buy them. I would not call them premium though.

Why do Chinese domainers not want vowels or the letter V in their short domains?
Chinese Pinyin words never begin with a vowel or a V. This is a linguistic phenomenon that simply does not occur in Pinyin, though I've heard there are sometimes rare exceptions for A and E).

Most the of LLLL.com names are looked at as potential acronyms, so the Chinese investors consider each letter as a potential first letter of a word. If there is a vowel or a V in the LLLL, then that ruins the name as a potential acronym since words never start with vowels or Vs.

Pinyin does use vowels, but the vowels are always in the middle of the word, not at the beginning of the word.

Incidentally, X and Q are premium letters in Pinyin because a very large number of words begin with those letters. Just make sure they are not combined with a vowel or a V. That'll ruin the name for both the English speaking market AND the Chinese market.

It is an interesting market indeed. No aeiouv names are so hot that many non-Chinese people are buying them by the bushel!

This is no 2007-08 phenomenon. China has acquired much of the wealth (gold, domains, land, businesses etc) (and green paper + numbers on screen) during recent decades. These names make sense for web portals as mentioned above - because of the latinized pinyin translation of Mandarin words.


The way the market is going the prices will only continue to rise,

The dollar (and all central bank currency) is an artificial representation of energy - printed out of thin air by the bankster cartels (Rothschild, Rockefeller, etc) The green paper literally is only worth something because we believe it is. The unconstitutional devalued dollar is no longer backed by gold or silver - only confidence. The process to create a dollar is the same as it is for Parker Bros to print money for the monopoly game. And who wins the monopoly game? Not the guy with all the paper, but rather the one who owns the properties.

Money is just a tool.


"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." Henry Ford



One of a kind commodities like domains are assets.


LLLL.coms are finite.

...and there are 1.2+ billion people in China and the majority now have regular access to the Internet!

Its because resellers don't see the real value the LLLL.com only started to go up and follow the short trend long way to go.


As LLL.com and LL.com too expensive for resellers and ENDUSERS
they jump more often on a LLLL.com

you can easy get $7-15K from enduser.
