More than a decade ago, I registered hundreds of three-character .com domains, then flipped them for a quick profit.
The market soon got saturated, and while these LLN or LNN combinations – poor man’s LLL .com’s – still continue to be snapped, there is no end user market for them.
The same logic applies to any domain genre; the larger the availability pool, the lower prices dip.
Some profess by LLLL or even LLLLL .com domains; considering how these domain permutations are much higher in number than those consisting just of three letters, there are more chances of forming actual words.
The rest, is most often coal than diamonds, and it’s hard to convince many a domain collector – for these are not investors – that collecting permutations of something does not mean you can make money when you decide to sell.
Selective investment is a key factor to domaining.
Never over-invest in any particular genre without a plan to liquidate your assets, should the unthinkable happen. It’s also prudent to seek end-users to “unload” your investments to as soon as you acquire them. It takes a lot of effort to sell domains once they surpass a critical mass.
