2L Auction Data last few months (plus 4 weeks to go!)

Auctions Coming Up for Remaining 2L

The History Tracked of 2L HNS TLD Auctions

Been studying the 2L (2 letter, no number) price market for a few months now - and made a spreadsheet to track it

There is also a good resource about 2Ls here https://report.lmx.com/sections/2l/

Want to take some highlights from it:

Every week, there is a trend of a bidder coming in with a 4096 HNS bid towards the end of the auction.

But we have seen that bidder now doubling that with a 8,192 HNS bid, and even doubling that with a 16384 HNS bid.

Many months ago, this bidder was coming in at half the 4096 - or 2048 HNS

Image

With just 4 more weeks of auctions, the 2Ls always open right away and get plenty of bids.

Here are the upcoming ones

Just sharing some insights.

Do want to snag some 2L as it seems there will be no more remaining after the next 4 weeks is over, but feel the prices are just going out of my own range. So feel may as well share here.

What are your thoughts on the 2L auctions remaining? Can only see them getting more expensive.

Don’t even think many will sell on the aftermarket, as they will be immediately used to sell SLDs on in the various SLD platforms that are being built now.

Great info. Just a point of detail, LMX.com report you link to is about .com 2Ls, it's useful to understand the pattern in the legacy web and how pricing trends go there. As I put in my XX/ writeup, history does not echo it rhymes, so I think looking at the past actions in the .com world can give some ideas of patterns we'll see in the HNS TLD market. My opinion is of course speculative. Time will tell.

Also, there are quite a few 2Ls on the secondary market. Seems they are not all being developed. You can locate them easily on Namebase by sorting with "Max characters" set to: 2.

Only downside, is you can't sort for letters only, so you'll have to wade through all the 2Cs, which are number letter combos.

Good point - I waded through the 2 character max on the Namebase marketplace and found these current buy now prices:

counting 11:

https://www.namebase.io/domains/lp - 50,000 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/jx - 92,800 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/wx - 124,995.00 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/oh - 125,000 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/wg - 150,000 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/rq - 200,000 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/qm - 288,888 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/vh - 399,999 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/yp - 1,888,888.00 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/ev - 5,000,000 HNS
https://www.namebase.io/domains/oo - 10,000,000.00 HNS


Also as I went through - oh/ sold on the aftermarket once already for 17,500 HNS on Dec 24, 2020.

great insights herd/!

I think the even crazier one is single letter TLDs! But only 26 letters in the alphabet and a bunch of those reserved.

Don't see an 1L - but do see a 1C (1 character) in Namebase marketplace -

3/ for 300,000 HNS - https://www.namebase.io/domains/3

a good deal?

this week's auctions are ending (or do we say last week's?) and here are the 2Ls ending on Jan 19, 2021:

Fe https://namebase.io/domains/Fe
Rh https://namebase.io/domains/Rh
Ik https://namebase.io/domains/Ik
Dl https://namebase.io/domains/Dl
Rl https://namebase.io/domains/Rl
Zs https://namebase.io/domains/Zs
Xv https://namebase.io/domains/Xv
Fw https://namebase.io/domains/Fw
Iw https://namebase.io/domains/Iw

for sure DL is my favorite - " download "

but XV is also getting a lot of attention and not sure why.

Image

Bids ranging from 1,100 HNS to 16,000 HNS - but with 8 to 12 hours left to bid, as we all know, it all comes down to those last few blocks.

good luck

hi everybody been quite busy here is the latest on 2L - fun to watch

Image

Xz https://namebase.io/domains/Xz 1/23/2021 8,192 12,345.67 (no blind)
En https://namebase.io/domains/En 1/23/2021 23,500 24,000 (no blind)
Jj https://namebase.io/domains/Jj 1/23/2021 8,192 10,500 (20,000 mask)
Xj https://namebase.io/domains/Xj 1/23/2021 234 12,345.67 (no blind)
Vq https://namebase.io/domains/Vq 1/23/2021 567 8192 (16,840 mask)
Ex https://namebase.io/domains/Ex 1/23/2021 23,456 47,000 (no blind)

EX was exchange or ex-girlfriend,...ex-wife..

2 of them went for cheap xj for only 234 and vq for 567, but the top bidder was 12,345.67 and 8,192 so you'd need to bid above them to win.

And there is a few ending later today:

Yb https://namebase.io/domains/Yb

Zc https://namebase.io/domains/Zc

Wh https://namebase.io/domains/Wh

Ux https://namebase.io/domains/Ux

Rz https://namebase.io/domains/Rz

my favorite is .... eh - not many this time.
