Use the button below to go to our contact page where you fill out a form to express your interest in this domain. NOTE: we do not respond to inquiries that we deem to be unserious - unserious inquiries include those with too small of offers, ones without traceable contact/company names, & anyone potentially using shady tactics.
We believe it’s imperative to operate with the upmost transparency and goodwill as it relates to helping companies find the right brand - we will only do business with people who respect our values.
We understand that domain value is something not taught in business school but we ask that you do some research on it before attempting to make contact or putting together an offer. The domains we sell vary from $10k-$10M USD+ (and the prices we have are backed by market data) - chances are that if the domain in question is a high use generic domain (or is in a very rare category), it will be priced between at least 500k-5M. If you don’t have this kind of capital laying around, we are open to talking financing (but only to accredited individuals). Thank you for taking the time to read this.
After the good feedback we got from our last two 'scarce domain' specials, today's focus is on the final piece of the puzzle: the extremely rare & coveted 2 letter .com. This is a tricky one to analyze (regarding how much they are worth) because they are not traded publicly that often and usually when they are it is in the investing markets at a discount (so the public market data is less useful). With this, the best way to analyze them is to look at the more prolific 3 + 4 letter .com domains to see what the fundamental market value of a 2 letter .com domains is (based on the principal of 26):
- Over all time, the average sale price of 4 letter .com domains is $2.16k (according to NameBio.com), projecting that the average price of a 2 letter .com should be $1.42M
- Over all time, the average sale price of 3 letter .com domains is $52.3k (according to NameBio.com), projecting that the average price of a 2 letter .com should be $1.36M
- In actuality, the average price of a 2 letter .com is only $577.1k (which is partly due to the lack of sales data for the last few years) - if there was more transparency in sale prices for recent 2 letter .com sales, I would expect the real average price to be around the projected $1.35M-$1.45M range.
For more data, here's some more data showing 2L .com sales over the last 5 years:
So the average price over the last 5 years is at the $1M mark (higher because this data is more recent) but it is still below the practical mark for these domains - a better way to access value is to look at the most fundamental piece of any scarce asset's value: Supply vs. Demand. In this, by definition there are only 676 two letter .com domains available for registration while currently 445 of these domains are owned by corporate entities who would be very unlikely to sell. See the list here: https://www.domainholdings.com/recent-sales/2-letter-com-owners/
So this means that there are 676-445=231 domains potentially available in the investor market but a lot of these have developed websites on them so the actual number of these domain owners that would sell would be a much smaller number.
Referencing this, we have 7 two letter .com domains available privately at this time. Doing the math, that represents over 1% of the total supply of 676 two letter .com domains & over 3% of the circulating supply of 231 not corporately owned - if you did the math of how many two letter .com domains are really publicly for sale, I would suspect these 7 to represent 10% or more of the actual market inventory. On top of that, the other 90% that might be 'for sale' are likely priced multiples higher. If interested to see our list, please contact us (although they may be sold by the time you read this).
