The Latest Sales for 5 Letter Dot Coms

Had a little time to peruse the recent 5 letter dot com sales from the last few weeks.  Actually it was a pretty slow two weeks for 5 letter dot coms. Per usual there aren't many trends to pick up on other than the names are pronounceable and "clean".  Clean meaning they aren't acronyms and generally have a two syllable sound.

I Am Looking for a Few 5L.coms and ColorAnimal.coms

I am personally looking for two types of domains.  I am looking for a few choice 5 letter dot coms and a few coloranimal.coms ie bluehorse.com or yellowmonkey.com.  Remember I am a reseller not an enduser.  If you are hoping to make big money on them I am not your person. I also am not looking to take advantage of anyone. If you're in love with the name, don't send it, I don't have enough money to break up your relationship.  I am restocking my portfolio on the former and need the latter for a buyer that I am working with.  There are few rules AND DO NOT POST YOUR NAMES IN THE COMMENTS only send th...

5 Letter Dot Coms Continue to Rise In Price

I could go on for days about how many trends I missed and blew huge opportunities to make big money. By the time I completely "got" generics and which domains to buy they had gotten expensive.  I knew CVCV dot coms were going to have great value but didn't buy enough and wasn't greedy enough on sales. But 5 letter dot coms I hit.  They are simple, short, and perfect for the short attention span of today's Internet surfers.  Many ask me why I preach when all it does is increase the value?  It's because I have a pretty good portfolio and two, most people still don't know what constitutes a great 5L.co...

MarkMonitor Securing Some Unusual Names Today for Clients

MarkMonitor's job is pretty simple.  Secure domains for their clients and keep them under wraps until the client is ready. With the public release of Daily Changes it's been a little harder to hide.  One of the strategies of MarkMonitor is to secure many different domains for a client and then let the client choose.  It's not very costly if they are hand registrations but it can add up if a customer has too many choices.  If you've ever dealt with MarkMonitor you know that they are pretty stealth in their dealings.  You think you are selling to a regular old guy.  Later you find out that a big com...

The 5L.com Market Is Alive and Well

I sold yet another 5 letter dot com this week giving me 6 sales this year. A little down from last year but mostly due to the fact I am not accepting much under $2,000 for any of my 5 letter dot coms. The sale of one name has more than paid for my cost off all six domains combined. I bought many of these names several years ago so my cost is minimal in most of my 5 letters. That doesn't mean the value is low. On the contrary. The value of QUALITY 5 letter dot coms is skyrocketing. Noticed how I said quality. Everyone has a different measurement of quality but mine are words that have meani... Read More »
