The fact that there are generally quite a few opportunities for resale, and potential four figure sales (maybe five) make these attractive.......although with a handful of companies owning probably 50-70% of all three letter .co.uk names I do often wonder of the potential resale value of these and why many remain unused
hmm... i think you are right
that's why this 3 letters domain usually owned by big company or organization
so the price also being expensive
nice info btw

Three letter domains have been very kind to me.. I've sold quite a few over the last couple of years, I've only got about 20 left now.. Always a lot of interest from companies wanting their initials.

thanks

A friend of mine regged quite a few LLL's before me in the early days too..

Some of the domains he regged pre 1996 are worth insane amounts of money.. most have to be worth 6 figures, I guess it was down to being there at the right time before everyone wanted to be a domainer

My argument to this and I have had a load of LLL's is that if you cashed them in you could go and get some decent generics to earn money whilst the LLL's would be sat there doing nothing. There are some cracking generics out there that you could buy and develop with the cash.

If money isn't an option and you can afford to still buy other names then holding LLL's is never going to be a bad deal in my opinion, rarely will they lose money.

So I guess the real answer to whether they are a good deal or not is personal circumstances.

This has been a very useful thread, it is clear that LLL.co.uk are a good investment but becoming harder to find.

Thank you for participating
