SOLD.ca Price ranges for LLLL .ca domains? (1.Viewing)

I’m not sure why people still talk about CVCV etc. The only people who talk that way are domainers and if you’re trying to sell to other domainers. It’s like Rob said. Words is where the money is. Acronyms do well also but whether pronounceable or not whether it has vowels or not has no relevance when you’re selling to end users.

Might not matter to a specific end user but it often matters to us with regards to usage, the chances such a domain would sell and whether to buy them for resale or not. We're on a domainer forum afterall, and the topic is about LLLLs and price ranges, so it makes perfect to me as to why we're talking about it.
 
I get it. We’re talking about it but those are all end user sales. In the .CA market there is no resale value like there is in .COM. TBR is pretty much the only place we can try to look at pricing. Even then I am sure I can find plenty of LLLL’s available to register.

Let me know if you find any decent ones, I usually register anything I find that is even remotely decent in 4L

Back in the day I registered a bunch of LLLL’s only to drop them years later. They’re definitely not like .com’s. A few like : faun and balk etc

Ones that would obviously have a bit more value in .com. Eventually just stuck to the very premium LLLL’s that I could get of course.

Ok thanks for clarifying because I never knew whether they sold so high at the time because they were websites.

In a way, yes, creditcards as a domain sold high because it was #1 in google rankings, and the buyer was #2. So even though they didn't get the website or database, all they cared about was removing me from the #1 google ranking.

Did you do the work yourself to get it to #1 or did you outsource it?

I would think that would have been a huge selling point when selling it. Obviously the domain itself is amazing but the fact it being #1 on Google would have played a major role in pricing it.

I paid very low 6-figs to buy it, it came with the website, so it was doing well to begin with, I did make some modifications. After a couple of years of negotiating, and after not having been able to overtake me as #1 in google search results, they finally paid the price. So yes, although the sale was most assuredly domain only - no transfer of website or database - they were most likely motivated to simply remove me from the #1 ranking.

I've never thought of LLLL.ca being valuable purely for being short, unless they're a commercially usable or brandable word (e.g.: pink, cars, coin, hush). LLLL.ca you can pronounce are nice but you have to wait for someone to invent a reason for it and need it, which isn't the same for .ca as in .com. And the random letters are like a lottery ticket, you might do well or hold forever. A lot of the high value LLLL.ca sales you see are great words.

Coincidentally, I got a 1k offer for a pretty random one from godaddy this morning.

Now I have to research who actually wants it before I determine my selling price.

1k is a nice profit for a 2 year hold but a 5k margin would be a lot better.

Agreed. A longer wait on those random LLLLs, and quite possibly may have to cut for a loss at renewal time. What kind of bids do those random .ca LLLLs receive on TBR?
 
Looks like one guy is pricing them $2,895 US on sedo

More there but I ran out of screen shot room

Strangely after reading this post yesterday I saw a soccer player being interviewed and they were talking about a 'TIFO' which I'd never heard of before. I looked it up and it does have a sports meaning, so I registered tifo.ca for the heck of it. I think it's also a good example of a made up word that could be used as a company or business name. It also could be a long term hold that never does anything, that's how I look at it.
