    nothing good about them if they're just some random letters

    there are always a few available which you can find at deleteddomains.com

      it all depends on the domain... some 4 letter domains are worth a lot of money, others are close to being worthless...

              I wouldn't buy random 4 letter domains.
              I don't use ICQ anymore.

                  I would suggest you think about what it can do for you, or how you think it will come out with some SEO work. Is it catchy? and so forth.

                      please don't invest your hard earned money in random 4 letter domains. you will regret it. of course there's always the slim change that a company will want your 4letter domain because they need it for their abbreviation, but most likely you're throwing your money away. spend your $7 more wisely and go deep into the mines looking for gold. you'll find this hard to believe, but you'll have a better change selling 4-WORD domains than 4-letters.

                      look here for more info:

                            You should look for three types of 4-letter domains:

                            1) Words (dictionary) - value would depend on the "commercial" aspects of the word or on its brandability. "Porn" is a good word - go get it

                            2) Potentially brandable words - these will make no sense but would at least sound like something. E.g. Sedo.com. They could be worth a penny - the issue is how do you find the one person who'd pay top dollar to own exactly this stupid word

                            3) Abbreviation - NYPD is a poor example but some organizations and even companies may have a 4-letter combination that you could sell to them if they don't have it already. Recently, PRD.com sold for ~5K because the abbreviation corresponded to several organizations.

                            Cheers!

                                        I'm going the other way on this one

                                        First off, all good 4 letter combo's are taken

                                        no: qwyujkzxv

                                        are all gone.

                                        period.

                                        And secondly, why to you is a 4 letter.com worth nothing, but a 3 letter.com worth say $1000-5000+- to a speculator and a 2 letter.com worth $20000-$50000+-.

                                        I had maybe 90 of them at the most and they all got typein traffic.

                                        Whether it be one two, five or ten uniques a day.

                                        Plus, I made some average end user sales.

                                        Mid 3 figures each.

                                        So I put in $600ish in cash and I made around $2000 in 3 months after I sold some to end users and sold the rest to a speculator.

                                        Good Luck

                                        I'd stay away from x z y q 's but otherwise in the long term they are a decent buy..

                                          Is boughtsold.com worth something? I dont know anything about mainstream domains.

                                          And miamiclubcam.com ?

                                              First off, all good 4 letter combo's are taken

                                              no: qwyujkzxv

                                              are all gone.

                                              period.

                                              And secondly, why to you is a 4 letter.com worth nothing, but a 3 letter.com worth say $1000-5000+- to a speculator and a 2 letter.com worth $20000-$50000+-.

                                              I had maybe 90 of them at the most and they all got typein traffic.

                                              Whether it be one two, five or ten uniques a day.

                                              Plus, I made some average end user sales.

                                              Mid 3 figures each.

                                              So I put in $600ish in cash and I made around $2000 in 3 months after I sold some to end users and sold the rest to a speculator.

                                              Good Luck

                                              I'd stay away from x z y q 's but otherwise in the long term they are a decent buy..

                                              true. but you know how it is with someone just starting out, they'll go register mountains of 4-letter domains and be stuck with them. i'm sure you've bought/sold plenty of 4s.

                                              plus newbies can spend their time mining deep veins and come out with gold. here's a few domains i got last 3 days for $6.50 each after networking at gfy and letting the gears spin:

                                                  i had a few questions to ask you, if you dont mind..

                                                  if you need to reach me:
                                                  sponsorcash (at) mail .com
                                                  put "domain question" in subject or will get lost in sponsor spamdrive I'm doing. if anyone has sent me a question or info and did not get a reply yet, go ahead and send it again.
