5L.com names are starting to heat up, I have to say I have been surprised by the amount some have regged. Reading posts on Namepros some members are in the 500 to 1500 range. That is a big bet and I hope it pays off, the frenzy around all these buyouts and Chinese buying habits has made things exciting and hectic, if you are not on top of things stuff moves pretty quick. I know I was looking at one 4L.org it was SHPK, and I thought should I buy this just for fun ? I passed, and the next day the 4L.org Chip buyout was complete, starting with SH for Shanghai I could have flipped that pretty easy for a hundred or two, that is not an investing strategy, it would have just been picking up $100 or $200 off the street.
There are a couple things that might help your 5L.com investment strategy, one is the Google Pinyin translator, whether these translations are 100% accurate has not been confirmed yet, some say they are way off while others say they are in the ballpark. Use the following link https://translate.google.com/#zh-CN/en/
Another helpful piece of data has been put together by DomainVP, he translated 500,000 domains and provided a download to the list. He also posted on Namepros and it might be helpful to follow the conversation there as he has made a couple updates.
ChineseTools.eu is another website that has some tools to help you with Pinyin and translations.
Sahar pointed in FB today a good site: http://Chaomi.cc
with many stats on short names.
5l.com domain was heating up before the chinese buyout. I have been researching the 5l.com domains just after i missed the 4l.com boat and i saw a lot of 5l.com sales on sites like godaddy,sedo and namejet.
Beside that i started to observe a few auctions at namepros.com ( around 200 sales ) and i had clearly seen 5l pronounceable domains get 5$ bid at least and in every 5 sales you can see a 30-70$ sale.
So i decided to post on namepros.com about the status of 5l here
https://www.namepros.com/threads/current-status-reseller-value-for-5-letter-com-domains.867275/
But as always everybody declined the market. Then i bought a few my self ( around 50 names ) and guess what investment was returned with 100% profit. Had invested 200$ to test the market, return was near 389$.
All sales data and proves can be seen at my site LLLLLs.com which i was lucky enough to pick up just 7 days earlier the buyout of good 5l.com domains. And i have secured 500 names my self to promote my site LLLLLs.com
I am collecting sales data of 5l.com domains from big auctioneers like godaddy,sedo,namejet,dynadot to find a base price of 5l.com domains. Currently it seems the market need some time to set its actual price.
But i am very much into the 5l.com market and will collect any and every data i can.
You can get all those data on my site LLLLLs.com
Thanks.
