A good number of numeric domains at auction today. Both 5N and also 6N’s with multiple 8’s. I usually include all 5N’s in my list, plus today I’ve added a couple of the best 6N’s. I’d have to say I really disagree with a lot of domainers who say it’s good to buy liquid domains because they hold value. The fact of the matter is that if you buy a good hidden gem at $20-30, then the only possible downside is that $20 you paid. $20 are better than liquid because there’s only an upside.
So sure a 4L (4 letter domain. ex: lmno.com) or 4N/5N (4/5 number domain. ex: 7654.com) will always have liquid value .. but if you bought them at $3000, and the current liquid value is $1000 .. then you lost $2000. UNLESS there is actual end usage value to the specific name that gives you a fair chance of selling it at a reasonable multiple (enough to cover the potential losses on the other liquid domains in your portfolio).
What’s a bigger issue about these domains is that they also tie up a lot of capital to acquire them. At $500-5000 each they eat up a lot of your capital. If you have deep pockets then by all means go ahead and grab a bunch. Or even if you don’t, it’s likely better to get one of those at $2000 as opposed to a new domainer coming in and buying 2000 hand-registrations in one shot. Although in this case both will likely be bad investments.
At the end of the day, whether a domain is liquid or not should be almost irrelevant .. as vastly more important is the chances of an end user wanting to use any domain you want to invest in. Unless of course you’re a short-term domain flipper .. in which case most of the time the liquidity of liquid domains isn’t usually a factor on a scale of a few days or weeks.
Okay .. it’s late .. I’m super tired .. probably left something out in all that .. but it’s a very large I’ve made for today .. and it’s way past bedtimezzzzz. There’s also a record number (875) of closeout domain names in my closeout list today .. so definitely check those out as well here:
