What are premium 3 Letter .CO domains worth

Hi everyone, I just would like to hear some opinions from domain buyers/sellers as to their opinions on 3 letter domains, and in particular 3 letter .CO domains. According to a number of people .CO is already in third place in terms of domain extensions, although it's not clear to me whether this is the case.

I recently purchased what I regard as a premium 3 letter .CO domain - Beg.CO, and was wondering where exactly we are in terms of re-sale value, and also in terms of whether you would feel I should look to hold on for as long as possible to such a domain, or whether it may be worth considering selling it on. If the latter option where would you consider doing so for such a domain, i.e. flippa, sedo etc.?

Thanks
Joel

  • The problem with .CO, as you have with other alternative TLDs, is liquidity. It's not easy to sell a .CO domain, but when sales occur (especially enduser sales), the trust you put in the extension is well rewarded. There have been LLL.CO sales in the 3, 4 and 5 figures (see DNSalePrice.com for a comprehensive list).

    Today, Sugar.CO was sold for $30,000 and MNG.CO for $1,190, both at Sedo.com
  • I couldn't estimate a value, but I would expect these would be lucrative.

    Mainstream companies like Overstock is using .co with o.co.

    But I think they would also be of great use for short redirection URLs as people use them for cloaking and to shorten URLs for places like Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest.

    When you buy a domain, you need to determine the commercial value of the domain. Beg, as a keyword doesn't lend itself to having commercial value. Just because it's three letters will not automatically make it valuable. When you're appraising domains, you might want to look up the keyword in Google and if there are a lot of Adwords advertisers competing for that keyword, it's a fair shot that is has commercial value. I don't think that .co has reached #3 in sales. You want to get an idea of what's hot in domain names, go here

    • TBH, I read that its selling price is only second to .com.
