So, i'm sure it's not only 100% speculation on them. With all latest media reports about increase in amount of Mobile surfers - such names will be on demand very soon.

The voracity of people posting on the forums is making it look like a big pump and dump scheme. It's great that people who are new to the industry had a good chance to register some names that have appreciated tremendously. However, there is no need to be pumping these names like they are are rarity. There are plenty of them around, and there are plenty of people selling.

Of course they are mainly being sold between domainers, but so are LLLs! Really bad letter LLLs are not likely to ever find an enduser either, but they are a collectible which slowly raises in value as every new owner only sells it for more than he bought it. I think the same will happen with LLLLs, good ones will be able to sell to endusers and bad ones will slowly grow in value being exchanged between domainers, even a 10$ price increase per year would bring profit, and while more and more people are starting to use internet and there appear more domainers, there will always be buyers for LLLLs, 456k isn't THAT many actually...</p> <p>P.S. Elliot, can you post your LLLL list? You said you would sell these for market prices, and you should if you believe that they will crash...</p> <p><strong>***UPDATED BY ELLIOT***</strong></p> The problem I foresee is when the domain guys who are paying $200-1,000 per name try to resell them. At those prices, I don't think they are very liquid at all. <p>I just posted 2 of them in this thread. Might as well cash out :)</p> <p>http://www.elliotsblog.com/index.php/2008/02/19/one-day-sale-kentuckydoctorcom-2-llllcom-domains/</p> Well I don’t see why LLLLs could ‘burst’.

I just posted 2 of them in this thread. Might as well cash out :)

Like Elliot said, there are 450,000 LLLL out there. Just because some of them are selling for a few thousand doesn't mean it is wise to load up at $90, $200 or $300 each - because it could be a long wait for that $5,000 sale. Nothing against you guys, I hope you make a lot of money (some of you have, and i'm sure plenty more will). For me, there are better ways to invest right now.
