Recently, I have read up and done some research on LLL.net’s. In fact, about a week or two ago I bought one. LLL.net’s actually have a very interesting market. It seems to be a risky investment at this point, and no one knows where the market will go.

In my opinion, I think LLL.net’s only have a reseller maket, just like LLLL.com’s, which we all saw go down in flames. End-users will either want an LLL.com or an LLL.org. That being said, all three markets, LLL.com’s, LLL.net’s, and LLL.org’s are going down to lower prices then they have been in years.

I recently bought an LLL.net (as I mentioned in my first paragraph), UHQ.net, for $650. It was an eBay auction, and to be honest was sort of a spur of the moment thing. I was looking through eBay domains, and I saw this domain, UHQ.net, had 2 minutes left. I ended up bidding, and that’s what got me started reading about the market. Now, two days later, I sold it on DNForum.com for $785. So even though that is still a high price for a domain, it is still below the LLL.net minimum wholesale value of $800 back in July, 2008. And that wasn’t a bad LLL.net at all. It was actually pretty good the way I saw it. So it would have been worth much more in July, probably closer to $900 or $1,000. And that just shows you how much the market is dropping.

My guess is LLL.net’s will go down the tube soon. We will need to see, because LLL’s have many, many acronyms, which does give them some value. But will they eventually just crash to rock bottom prices like the LLLL.com’s are doing? We will need to wait and see!
