I think there is a lot of downward pressure on Chinese domains. Have heard lots of talk about LLL.com trading at very low levels in quiet sales lately.

Quiet = Unreported ?

Yes, from what I understand the buyers/sellers don’t want the prices publicly known.

If you are still holding some you don't want to bring the prices down on the rest of your names.

I see that Louise/Com went for $15,000 via Sedo, seems quite cheap for a popular first name

Agree, that seems low.

Sounds like the Chinese are getting desperate, multiple failed auction attempts to sell 2,600 5 number .coms.

2,665 great 5 number .COM domains are on 4.cn Theme Auction, with reserve price lowered again. The owner stated that this will be the last auction. After this auction the domains will go out of the market / not for sale anymore. So please grab the last chance to bid. The auction starts to close on Wednesday, May 6th, 2020, at 7AM EDT (7PM Beijing time, UTC/GMT + 8:00).

There are as many as 2,665 domains so the auction will last until May 25th, 2020. There will be 250 domains ending every day, from Monday to Thursday. There should be at least one domain you may want to bid for this time.

You may check all the domain names on the auction here:

Hey Vaccine's not cheap ($25,000 on the dark web) This was ambitious to say the least. If you flood a market there can only be cheapy's on offer

Another cheapie ..... TravelAgency/Com = $25,000 U.S

This one is from Namescon (January) but likely got paid for very slowly. I think half the sales total from that auction didn't happen with Add.com looking like it was shilled up.

Another example of why .com.au is best avoided. How is it hat very generic names like this get deleted by internal staff decisions rather than a proper auDRP dispute? Bizarre.

Wonder what the auDRP is even for if auDA are now doing stuff like this?

Interesting to see 1269/Com went for $40,500 via Sedo, this is closer to what you would expect from a NNNN .. and not an 8 to be seen anywhere!

No fours or zeros helps too.

 

[Data Glasses]

Yes I do agree but normally an 8 would surpass a 4, zeros are ok if at the end. 84 and 48 are considered good number combinations, this is domaining so ....

The Australian Financial Review switched from AFR.com.au to AFR.com quite a few years ago but it seems now they aren't even bothering about AFR.com.au resolving any more. Been like that for a few days.

It redirects for me.

Yes for me as well. 5112/Com = $50.000 via Sedo
