Looking for domains and websites on ebay is like looking for money in the streets: there is lots of it out there, but it takes too much time and effort to find it.
But today I stumbled across a 3 letter domain name that is currently for sale at Ebay.com
8UI.com
Not a bad domain name, and the ease at which you can type it is certainly a plus factor. So let’s see what the seller has to say about this domain name:
There are only 17,576 (26 x 26 x 26) 3-letter .com domain names. All of them are already registered. The last one was registered sometime in the beginning of 2000.
For those who are curious, all 3-letter .net names were registered by 2001. The last 3-letter .org name was registered in 2003.
The prices have been rising ever since, with 3-letter .com names selling for about 10 to 15 times the selling price of an equivalent .net domain.
The average annual return of a 3-letter .com domain has been ever 30%, with some names providing 100% gain per year! More recently, 3-letter .com domains have been appreciating at a rate of 5% to 7% per month.
Here are some recent sales figures for 3 letter .com domains from domain name industry journal Dnjournal . com:
