I just noticed that 55 three-letter domain names (LLL.com) that I sold as part of my portfolio to Godaddy/Afternic, which was announced a week ago Monday, have already been sold off and the biggest surprise maybe the buyer was not from China.
Domain investor Nat Cohen’s Telepathy is now the owner of the following three-letter .com’s.
All appear to be the type of letter domain names favored by Chinese domain investors those without vowels or the letter “v”
Some repeaters are included.
The old adage “you snooze you lose” comes to mind.
Congrats to Nat

Nice cherry-picking by Nat 😀 This might have helped: http://domaingang.com/domain-news/godaddy-acquisition-huge-lll-com-portfolio-of-worldwide-media-inc-domains/
good work all the way around
wtg nat!
They shopped it around, had 3.4rm offer so this was it or higher. He paid todays value plus, betting on future growth in this category. Risky.
Congrats.
Isn’t this musical chairs act what shady companies look for when trying to file wobbly UDRP’s, 3 owners in 1 week?
I’m sure some will end up in China.
Let’s hope Nat has a spam filter.
How much do you think he paid ?
I would say number is $3.5M
and the rich get richer.
USA 55 China 0 India -100
Don’t the domainers in India ever want to buy?
Donald Trump- Yea, we gonna kick China’s butt with all these domains!!
india will always be slow
Yes indeed BullS
CHINA CHINA I am the Donald will use that one tonite as well.
That was fast.
Nat holds largest and BEST LLL.com portfolio you can imagine..his portfolio already cost about $50 mln..
sheesh !
Godaddy must have made at least a 25-30% return on that sale
That was fast!, almost like if Godaddy had the domains sold before even buying them from Michael hehe, anyway, nice job Nat!!.
The obcession with number and anagrams underlines the problem with the Chinese Market and others.
This model cannot sustain an econsystem and will probably not be able to sustain itself beyond this speculative bubble. Of course these strings will retain value in the US Market, but they are probably very fully priced for now.
It is quite obvious that a sustainable econsystem is going to involve Chinese Characters which users understand, and that ultimately is where the real money will be made.
Congrats to you and the buyer (Nat).
Nice portfolio.
This veteran domain investor saw an opportunity and dished out the money to acquire these premium domains. If he paid less than $4 million, he got a great deal. Would be easy to reflip them in the near future.
@Mike,
How much would you have sold these 3 letter dom if you have sold them individually? Rough estimate. How many of these are Chinese letters? You mentioned the going rate was $50-$55k for Chinese letters.
Your former domains are not attainable. Surely, the prices are more reasonable than when you owned them. IMO, these domain names will move faster now.
Meant: are now attainable
