The reserves for the .com names seemed very reasonable. So that only one .com sold shows the market is not great right now.
Michael – The LLL market was driven by investors and China’s short domain craze in the past. With crypto, NFT etc. becoming a distracting factor, volume has dropped. However, LLL domains can be a good investment still. I saw some of the LLL .com reserves and they were on the upper end of the price range, which is fine. Auctions aren’t liquidation sales.
I definitely agree they can be good investments and that this auction type does not attract many end-users.
