1717.com Already At $22K at SnapNames: How High Will it Go?

by

The domain name 1717.com is up at auction at Snapnames.com and the high bid is already $22,000.

There are 195 people in the closed auction which ends on Sunday at 3:15 EST, in accordance with normal closing rules of Snap.

This gem was a true drop domain and there were high prebids already in place at Namejet.com

We know NNNN.com have a high value and are prized especially in the Asian market.

There is currently 5 bidders at $15K or higher.

So how high will this domain go?

My prediction is $50K.

What do you think?

    I had saved up for a while for this name and knew it had value but didn’t realize I would be out of the bidding so early. It is a pretty special name. Notice all the asian bidders? I would guess at $35,000 or so.

    I second what Snoopy said. I understand this is a repeating number, but what is the significance of these numbers that is pushing it so far above standard NNNN.com pricing?

    Check out 4.cn and you’ll get the picture. Certain numbers in Chinese sound like words or phrases. A lot of Chinese people are willing to pay premiums to get these numbers.
