i might be able to pick up a 3 character .com. although what do they usually go for? obviously i can't reveal the name, but i can say that it does not contain any numbers, nor does it contain any characters that aren't used often like x,y,z,q, etc. i suppose i can say it's 3 common letters, has no vowels, and it doesn't spell out anything (i.e. nothing like pop.com)
 


4k thats it? i'm offering about 7x that. i thought due to the scarcity of 3 character .coms i could probably buy and sell mid to high $xx,xxx. or maybe not now but in 5 years.
 
i saw wie.com go for 130k about 3 years ago.

I bought a bunch of LLLL.com that i just sit on from like 3 years ago when I was into domaining. I don't really pay attention much now but I saw a random LLL.com go for 7k about 6 months ago.
 
lbs.com is available for 10k for all you weight loss / muscle pushing motherfuckers out there.

Who's the likely end user, you or do you wish to resell?

What are the comp sales going back 2-4 years?

What kind of traffic does it get and can it be monetized outside of PPC?

Any public companies bought similar domains (you can search the Edgar database to hunt down this info)?

If you have something that's valuable and you want to resell you should contact Rick Latona or his partner Toby Clements. Alternatively, you can try Linton Investments or the guys at Big Ticket Domains.

Lastly, TRAFFIC is happening next month and if you register before the 1st you only have to pay $1795 vs $1995 from the first on. They'll be VCs there this year and the highest end buyers who all look to do deals.

If the transaction's worth enough you can hire FairwindsPartners to do your M&A work.
 
i bought italian.net last year for $11k...no idea why really. hopefully it's worth something in a few years.
