Are you saying that you have domains that you believe are not making there full potential then you have to ask yourself why? If you think they are undervalued better buy as many as you can? You would with any other share stock item etc..?

Most lll.co.uk are not really brand able and even less are generic..? they may be abbreviations etc of companies but many of those companies already have web sites etc that are better to list than the abbreviation would be. (I personally think of selling the kudos to the company individual stroke there ego) if you can buy them cheap sell them cheap small profit quick return depends on your business plan

It would be a strange business plain…. my investments are not making a good enough return people do not wish to buy them at the price I’d like to get for them I’ll artificially increase the value sell them at a premium and retire… nice but finding an investment house etc that would lend against it,( if you can I have a wonderful pyramid idea) It puzzles me because if I had an item that I believed was greatly under priced and that would make me a vast return don’t think I wouldn’t let everyone else know what it was or could it be reverse psychology

Surely the only way of increasing the value of LLL domains is if both sellers increase the amount they want to sell for and buyers increase the amount they want to pay?

I like my LLLs and will not sell any of them for less than �4k (that's how much I love them!!). It means that i've only sold two - at (surprise surprise) �4k each. Until then i'm happy to pay the �5 every two years until needs must

Prices will increase once basement sellers have been shaken out of the market by this depression driven process of rationalisation, with most three letter domains then being held by penthouse players who can raise the bar to more rewarding levels. It just takes time. Be patient.

If you are willing to hang on, an end user will always pay low �x,xxx for the three letter that is their company. (I did)
However you do have to find them and for higher value domains it is always dangerous to contact them. So you just have to wait.

I'm very happy to sell to traders in the �400 to �1000 range and let them do the marketing. As in most sales there's manufacture, wholesale and retail. Each take their cut and do their own job. Seems fair.

Surely it would be price fixing?

I'm no expert on it though - I'm just a moron

I posted my original message without giving the subject much thought and tbh I still have not had time to think it through.

However, in practice I think its possible. Those with said names just raise the bar a little, benefiting all.

Had the same thought myself when I read this thread first. Crazy thing is that its things like this people end up inside for whilst serial burglars, muggers, rapists and drug dealers walk the streets.

As we're all individuals which have different needs, different bills to pay, different goals and mindsets. I guess it would be hard to create a standard e.g. starting price for a 3 letter �1000 - This is because someone may catch a 3 letter domain which only cost them �5.00, to then flip it in an auction the very same day for �500, who am I to say this is wrong? to me it makes perfect business sense working on such profit margins. The only thing i was trying to say was it would be nice if we could start creating more of a value for our domains, again when we mention the word "value", people obviously value things differently so we're prob fighting a losing battle and will just have to watch the market unfold.

SO THEN.... WHO'S GOING TO PM ME THERE 3 LETTER DOMAINS FOR �500 (I'M IN A BUYING MOOD)

I've even cleared my inbox for you
