I am not a big numeric guy and I know some domain name investors have done exceptionally well from them obviously domain names that are typically, NN, NNN, NNNN, NNNNN.com domains seem to sell on a frequent basis… I used to own 888222.com & 222888.com – I sold both in 2012 coming up on 3 years ago to a Chinese buyer for a low price on 4.cn, I didn’t have a great experience with payment issues via PayPal etc – It all got sorted in the end and I had my funds but it put me off the numbers market place.
Now I wished I still owned the two domain names 888222.com & 222888.com however the past is the past, I got both names on the cheap and did ok out of them… Would they be worth more now? I don’t know the Chinese economy is tanking and while I know it will return I still believe it will have an effect on the lower value domain name sales sale to Chinese buyers however NN & NNN, NNNN will continue to sell but will NNNNN.com & NNNNNN.com?
What Price would you estimate the two names to be worth Now & in 2012 when I sold them?
Do you think there is any money still to be made from NNNNNN.com? There are several available for hand registration and few are available with good numbers and what I mean from good numbers don’t contain the number 4 and have double repeat i.e 88 or 22 in them… Are they worth a gamble?
Are any other domain name investors buying NNNNNN.com domains? Why not leave a comment below and share your thoughts on Numeric domain names and the Chinese domain market palace.
My guess is you sold them both for $1000. The pair is worth $25,000
Yeah, those are a great pair you had.
I hope that the NNNNNN.com’s will take off soon, i see a few in go daddy auctions now but just not getting high bids yet.
There is a domainsherpa show where they talk about numeric domains and Rick Schwartz says they will stretch out as long as phone numbers.
I own 5 NNNNNN,com’s now with consecutive numbers with 8’s, 7’s, 3’s, 5’s and 6.
I also hope that LNNN.com’s and NNNL.com’s will take off soon, i own 7 of them.
My plan is to hold on to them all and just watch and wait and hope. haha
Just a follow up on your article.
I don’t find many 6 number .com’s available for reg fee and have have spent a lot of time trying all combinations.
I also go through the deleted domain sites and i’m seeing less and less being dropped.
I think and i hope that this means people see a value in these 6 number .com’s.
I have got a NNNNNNN ( 7 digits ) .com parked at Sedo.com and this numeric domain gets between 20 – 30 unique visitors daily from CHINA.
