Was surprised to see this one of drop, $2,

I was under the impression that ll.com.au got a few hundred minimum and I would have thought nn.com.au would be similar or higher.

Are both or one of those assumptions wrong?

Cheers,

To use your words ......vanity domain name

I disagree - I think it's a very low value for such a domain. There's only 100 of them in the world. That inherently adds value. Plus it's short, memorable and brandable...

I think generally LL's are more valuable than NN's...more chance of an LL being an acronym match to a business name I guess

What a great buy imho. Well done to the buyer (who is a member here) - well done to Drop.

It was the first day in ages that I didn't participate in the drops. :mad:

Both your assumptions were correct. I can't believe it went for so little!

If those assumptions are correct then why would it sell for $2 if the market value is several hundred? I don't know if that can just be put down to randomness.

Do we have any data on other nn.com.au sold at auction?

Here is another question to consider,

Is this the type of name that people feel "should" have some decent value but that nobody will actually stump up much for?

(because they could be buying names with a clear use, potential enduser buyers etc).

Yes, thanks, was surprised I picked it up for $2. Bit of a vanity domain, but I am a sucker for CC.com.au domains!

I was also surprised to see ix.com.au sell on NF yesterday for $233, which is the lowest I have seen a LL.com.au domain sell at the drops. When I looked earlier I thought it was .net.au, wasn't till after the auction I noticed it was a .com.au (at which time I proceeded to kick myself).

Cheers, I guess one of my assumptions is definitely wrong then, about ll.com.au. Thought these were $300-$400+ but sounds like it is $200+.

I would have bid at least $300 if I had realised it was a .com.au, and even then I would have thought it was a bargain! I think $233 was well under market value.

ix.com.au was the lowest priced LL we've ever snapped. On average, you are correct snoopy, they do fetch way more. Here's some recent LL's, NN's and LN/NL's we've snapped:

ta.com.au $1,552.00
ej.com.au $1,456.00
kx.com.au $790.00
li.com.au $551.00
ix.com.au $253.00
32.com.au $248.00
34.com.au $215.00
d1.com.au $153.00
n3.com.au $112.00
2k.com.au $79.00
3a.com.au $69.00
8i.com.au $52.00
j3.com.au $41.00
3e.com.au $21.00
t9.com.au $10.00

Was also a heap of nn.com sales in early 2009. (I think it was all the same seller).

I think it was a rather random day. Neddy said it was the first day he didn't put a bid in for ages. I missed the deadline at Drop and don't bid at NF. Lurker missed the LL.com.au. All it takes is a few would-be serious bidders to miss out and it can make a huge difference.


Here is another question to consider,

(because they could be buying names with a clear use, potential enduser buyers etc).

Yes that's probably a fair call. People are more comfortable (myself included) buying domains that aren't brandable as such but have their value grounded in metrics. X search vol and Y CPC gives you a basis for putting a confident market value on the domain.

BTW there have been a few other LL.com.au sales on Drop and the NF aftermarket too:

BL.com.au got about $1K
OW.com.au got $1,500
MM.com.au $2K
LL.com.au got $4K

Yesterday's examples are by far the lowest selling LL.com.au's and NN.com.au's we've ever seen in AU

was this the same buyer? Wasn't there a Chinese guy who was buying up numeric domains with some sort of secret masterplan? Paying 6-figures for NNN.com's etc?

GK.com.au looks to have done substantially better today than yesterday's ix.com.au
