Four letter dot Com’s (LLLL.com) are some of the most liquid domain assets one can own. One could argue the only better liquid domains you could own would be LLL, NNN or LL names. What does liquid mean? Liquid assets is technically defined as an asset that can be readily converted to cash. Basically, there is always a large market (of mostly resellers) ready and anxious to buy these types of domains. Due to the fact that there are only limited quantities available, buyers are always on the lookout for three and four letter (or number) domains no matter what letters or numbers are in them.
Back in 2017 there were approximately 11,473 recorded LLLL.com domain sales, according to NameBio. These ranged in price from $121 USD all the way up to $550,000 USD. Sales declined some in 2018, but was still well into the four figures with 7,862 recorded sales ranging from $100 USD all the way up to $2,000,000 USD. This year the trend has been similar to last, with 4,288 sales thus far ranging from $100 USD all the way up to 285,000 USD.
You should be able to quickly notice a few things from only the data above. First, much like the stock market, the domain market also shifts with highs and lows. When the market is hot, sales increase and so does the minimum value. At the same time, when things are cooler you’ll often see sales decrease along with the minimum price. However, one thing remains clear after looking at all three years of data. The minimum price never drops below $100. This is a big reason why liquid domains (such as LLLL.com) are such good investments. People shouldn’t make an entire domain portfolio filled with liquid domains. However, every investor should invest in some when the price is right (like the $100 range) because values can always go up, and these domains are a good way to keep some of your investment funds a bit safer.

As you can see from the list of four figure sales each year above, your odds of taking and selling a random liquid domain for six figures or more is pretty unlikely. However, you’ll also notice the number of sales each year has been roughly the same. Even though total numbers dropped almost half between 2017 and 2018, big sales remained the same. While you may not be able to expect six figure sales from most of the LLLL.com’s in your portfolio, four and five figure sales are never out of question! Let me wrap this blog post up by showing you some of the craziest domains which have sold for those kinds of numbers over the same time period.

I hope you’ve found some of this data helpful. In the end, as a domain investor you should be investing in several different types of domains: liquid, brandable, two/three word..etc. You never know when a random four letter domain will be just what somebody is looking for to fit their companies acronym or brand, and that’s when you’ll sell domains like cgex.com for $12,500!
