The celebrations about the $13 million sale of Sex.com might not last long, according to a senior domain analyst.
Johan Dipthroat from the Oklahoma domain investors’ bureau explains:
“Many domainers are unable to comprehend how a domain with such a lengthy history of scandalous controversy has finally been sold”, says Johan. “No more conspiracy, no more headline news. It’s over.”
“Particularly when as a LLL .com it contains the awfully bad letter ‘X’ that devalues the domain tremendously”, adds Johan.
Many domain experts believe that a LLL .com with at least one bad letter, such as J, Q, X, Z loses 1/3 of its value the moment it is registered. Others, include the letters K, H, Y and U to the list.
“It’s devastating seeing a brandable domain such as Sex.com be valued at only $13 million, due to this bad letter”, states Johan Dipthroat.
“If it weren’t for the letter ‘X’ it would have probably exceeded $20 million dollars, rest assured.”
Meanwhile, the overall pricing of LLL .com domain names gained a sudden boost from the sale of Sex.com which will compete with Ass.com – a top-shelf adult domain owned by Rick Schwartz.
