A couple people (or one) did exactly what I was going to do over at Flippa. They hunted for CHIPS that had BIN set below the market value and hit buy. There were a couple of very nice names with a BIN at $2400 and as soon as similar names hit $3100 at Godaddy they became good buys. You have to take 20% off the prices to get the real value because that’s is what it is going to cost to sell. (Flippa is only 10%) At $3K then a $2400 name is obviously break even. But the market has been moving up fairly fast so that could change soon. I really didn’t expect it to move this fast. Nobody did. But I did think it would move to $3K to $5K per CHIP by January. That time has already come. But the patterns are starting to separate themselves in value. With ABCA, AABC, ABAC, types of names moving up at a faster rate. Of course AAAB, BAAA, ABAB, and AABB are the super premiums of the group and have the potential to really jump. Only time will tell. And by time I mean like 3 or 4 days. Just kidding. Here are today’s names. Click for current prices.

Hi Shane, really getting good guidance form your posts – thanks very much. Can you remind me what CHIPS means?
Best wishes from rainy Ireland.
Paul.
Paul,
Any LLLL domain name without a vowel or V are considered “Chips”. I have heard / seen the word chips being used for the LLL names as well.
Cheers
Correct, and it stands for Chinese Preferred.
CHIP = CHInese Premium.
Doubt it will take off in the same way, but I’m using the term ‘super premium’ to refer to the thirteen letters valued as premium in both Western and Chinese markets (b,c, d, f, g, h, l, m, n, p, r, s, and t)
Whoops – should have refreshed before posting.
Thanks all for the comments. For some reason I’m not getting the emails telling me there is a comment and missed all of these. Won’t again. Thanks for coming by and reading each day.
Love this blog! First Medical is a great name. I like Physique Development but there’s already a Muscular Development. Keep up the great work Shane!
Thanks Shane for your work in keeping us informed with this segment of the market. It is very interesting to watch and profitable for some as these names increase in value!!
