The Latest Sales for 5 Letter Dot Coms
By ShaneCultra - October 31, 2011 - 1 Comment
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. Not listed in any certain order

I Am Looking for a Few 5L.coms and ColorAnimal.coms
By ShaneCultra - October 1, 2011 - 3 Comments
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... Read More »
5 Letter Dot Coms Continue to Rise In Price
By ShaneCultra - September 26, 2011 - 7 Comments
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... Read More »
MarkMonitor Securing Some Unusual Names Today for Clients
By ShaneCultra - September 23, 2011 - 0 Comments
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... Read More »
The 5L.com Market Is Alive and Well
By ShaneCultra - July 12, 2011 - 7 Comments
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 »
5L.coms Continue to Do Well, Take a Look at Some Recent Sales
By ShaneCultra - February 17, 2011 - 8 Comments
The 5L market continues to do well. The better 5L dot com domains are fetching $2000 and more, consistently. The other positive note is who is buying these names. The majority look to be for online businesses rather than personal sites. And as we know, businesses pay more than bloggers. Take a look at some recent sales.
Sansa.com $13,500
Pengo.com $2540
Todos.com $10,601
Jinji.com $10, 200
Vimon.com $3,800

Answering the Questions About How I Sell My 5 Letter Dot Coms
By ShaneCultra - January 20, 2011 - 11 Comments
The most often asked question in the comments section or emails is "Where and How do you sell your 5 letter dot coms?" I'm going to start off with this. MOST OF THE 5 LETTER DOT COMS ARE WORTH REGISTRATION FEE. It's a fact and almost every name I get sent to me for evaluation is a bunch of junk and would best left in the open registration. Here is a little summary of how I approach 5 Letters dot coms.
1. If you hand registered a name it is worth $8. I have never hand registered a 5 letter dot com.
2. I have all my 5 letter domains at Sedo. They seem to get the most bids there. I am a... Read More »
5L Dot Coms Further Secure Their $1500-$3000 Range
By ShaneCultra - January 19, 2011 - 8 Comments
You've heard me preaching to the skies about good 5 letter dot coms selling regularly at $1500 to $3000 and every once in a while a little more if you have an eager buyer. Every week it seems 5 or 6 names pop in the top sellers list. This week was no different. I was the seller of a 5 letter dot com in the last two weeks' list. To the people that say there were millions of 5 letters that didn't sell, you are actually giving me a compliment. All you're saying is out of the millions of names only these sold, yet I sold two of them. Pretty good odds if you ask me, and I do this regularly. Take a ... Read More »
5L dot Coms Have Another Fantastic Week
By ShaneCultra - August 20, 2010 - 4 Comments
5 Letter dot coms are doing absolutely fantastic. In some respects I think the sales are even better that 4 letter dot coms. You certainly can create much better names with 5 letters. Here are the top 5 letter dot coms as posted in DnJournal.
The NameJet numbers weren't in this week but Sedo alone seemed to have six 5Ls above $3000 all by themselves. Again, not all 5Ls are worth this much and there is a certain trend of what types of names are fetching these prices. If you can't see it, I'm certainly not going to tell you.
Finch.com $16,225 (Moniker)
Neota.com $550 (Sedo)

Here Are a Few Names That I’ve Purchased Lately
By ShaneCultra - July 2, 2010 - 2 Comments
I've mentioned the last few months that I haven't been buying many names lately. I've been building my bankroll to buy some names in the low XX,XXX range but of course if strong plant names or 5Ls come along I've purchased them as well. Nothing great here but you can see my "theme" here.
Seedhouse.com
Hortica.com
Phormium.com (I sell this plant)
Plectranthus.com (and this one)
PlantsforSale.net
LandscapingProducts.net
BestHostingCompany.net (bought it because it was cheap and high CPC, easy directory)
