Just been to deleteddomains.com and seen 4,161 3 character .com's have been put back in to the system today!!!!

No three letters, but still, assuming they all used to belong to the same person that is a massive amount.

I wonder how much they'll be worth in 60 days on e-bay?

Not the $15ish their getting now anyway!

There were quite a few. Not sure if you're saying they'll be worth more or less than $15...

3 character domains have no value anymore. I was lucky enough to sell one of mine, and it was a .NET!? :eek:

how do you find them?
I only get ~100 3 character domains when I do a search....

Chicken : I think they will surely lose value, at the end of the day I see them as a commodity, few people will really want to use a domain name like 0Q5.com for their website (characters pulled out of the air!) most go for around $15 simply because thats the market value for them, they are unlikely to be used, its just that their fairly in demand just to be sold again. As with any commodity if the markets flooded with them then their value falls.

Hostlead : you have to click on "newest deletions".

I only use them when I have a longer name that it matches. At that point I generally register the long name and point it to the three letter. The best example I know of anyone using the mixed three letters is EV1.net. DV2 also seems to be working pretty well for them. I have under development WV5.com for Web Vision 5 where I also own webvision5.com. Not great, but workable. Overall, they are not worth premiums, but at $10 I am comfortable making the purchase.
