anyways about a year back when short domains were going for inflated prices, i knew it will make a bubble burst as the prices were just inflated due to speculation. where on the other hand good generics with high enduser potential is undervaluated

I think that the bubble of LLL and LLLL was caused by latecomer domainers wanting to get in to the game and oldschoolers selling them off. . . I also think that the latecomers really have had no other choice but to buy on patterns. . .The majority of people when looking for something to buy to resell at a later date (flippers) will look at things that sold previously as a template or case study of what sells and what does not. There’s nothing wrong with this but much work must be done to investigate EXACTLY why a domain sold . 1 domain selling for a large sum doesn’t mean others will sell for a large sum.

Lastly one thing in regards to patterns that does annoy the hell out of me to see the Obama or McCain or Palin domain names hitting ebay and in the comments of blog posts. What these people are NOT doing is investigating what does and does not sell and why . . . as they say, fools and their money.

BTW, I think everyone should also stop registering all of the patterns of domains that happen to end in .com . .. that way I can pick them all up.
