A look at the 25 largest reported 4N.com sales
4 out of the 5 largest sales took place in 2015, no surprise there.
10 out of 25 contained a zero which many put as the second least favorite after 4, of course adding to the confusion are so many opinions. I had a Chinese person say to me two weeks ago, “Zero is an unlucky Chinese number ? That’s news to me and I am Chinese.”
Rick Schwartz is responsible for the two biggest sales.
7777.com sold for less than $10,000 more than 7777.net, the key being the .com was sold in 2008.

7 years between 7777.com and 7777.net … and less than $10k difference.
That’s interesting.
Hey you snuck some .nets in there?
Great to see such numbers selling well!
I’m more into 5N dot co lately since the 4n coms are long sold off and pricey so maybe there will be interest in the co cctld soon.
On the zero issue i too am unsure where it is supposedly bad luck as that’s just bad info domainers started IMHO.
Zero actually is best at the end of sequence as it means completion among or infinite.
Zero is a great number to have I feel.
I own one domain with 4 zeros:
00080.co
Very good observation Raymond.Thank you
It seems rarity is making them to buy and with the belive that they can sell to western end users.
Cheers.
Don’t forget that the most expensive numeric domain, 360.com that was sold by Vodafone Group Plc to Qihoo for 17 millions $ last February 2015 also has zero on it. Zero can be good too in Chinese brands.
The NNNN.com domain names did not climb to the high level we see today prior to February, 2015. From negotiating the sale of 4-number domain names, and our recent sale of 9727.com for $35,000 and the sale of dozens of other 4-number domain names, the only number that makes a difference in the prices realized for the 4-number domain names is the number 8. The rest of the numbers are equal in value. If you want to figure what the value of your 4-number domain name is, consider that $25,000 is the bottom price regardless of the number combination. To figure out how much higher than $25,000 your domain name is worth, imagine that you are playing a poker game, and rather than getting five cards, you are playing with four cards, and your royal/straight flush would be 6789.com ; 4 of a kind will come after that – AAAA.com); the full house/3 of a kind would be AAAB.com. After this comes 2 pairs, and then one pair within the 4 number domain name. you figure it out if you can.
Great analysis on numeric sales. Pretty insane that 7777.com sold that low, but the market for numerics wasn’t as in demand then so it kind of makes sense. Seems a quad repeater of a number like 7 would have been much higher. Someone got a good deal for sure. Would like to see what it would fetch in the 2015 – 2016 market. Even the .net seems would’ve sold for more than it did being it sold in 2015. Nice list of numerics either way. Thanks for the list.
