You bet it can, and it doesn’t have to be a great one to fetch those kind of bucks these days. Currently, there are three 2-letter dot com auctions going on at Sedo.com. All have just 2 days and 23 hours left on a 7-day auction. The domains are: XP.com, XU.com and ZR.com. One of them has 9 bids and is currently up to $495,000, and the reserve price still hasn’t been met. Want to guess which one?

If your answer was XP.com, then you answered right. The other two currently sit at $185,000 and 6 bids for XU.com, and $90,000 and 6 bids for ZR.com. In each of those cases the reserve price has also not been hit yet. I doubt seriously that any of these bidders have a business in mind to match these 2-letter domains. My best guess is that all bidders are strictly playing on the hunch that a 2-letter domain name can never go down in value. But its always possible that a company name could match these simple letters. For example, a company operating as Xcel Petroleum, Zenith Resources or Xtreme Unlimited could be adapted to fit any one of these domain names. Xcel Energy is a real company operating in the wind power business. Although its hard to conceive of them moving into the petroleum-based energy business, anything’s possible.

Lastly, think of the brand exposure that the letters XP have already been able to claim in the Windows XP world. XP has become part of our vernacular, yet the letters could be used for other purposes.

You don’t often see two-letter dot com’s for sale, but 2 just went on auction today at Sedo.com. Both XU.com and ZR.com currently have bids of $80,000 each and have 6 days and 13 hours left on their respective 7-day auctions. It will be very interesting to see what they finally go for in 7 days.

Although both contain unpopular letters (i.e., X and Z), I would think that XU.com will end up selling for a higher price because it is pronounceable, which is rarely the case with 2-letter domains. The U in XU.com could stand for “unlimited,” while the R in ZR.com could stand for “resources.”

With 4 hours to go on its Sedo auction, Anonymous.net has hit $35,000. Actually, the domain name seller was pretty wise. He was able to get his buyer up to $35,000 before going to auction. The original bidder remains the only bidder with just 4 hours to go in a 7-day auction. On the one hand the buyer is likely relieved. On the other he must be wondering if he has overpaid. On another auction of a dictionary word .net domain name, alimony.net is up to $3,600 with 2 bids and 4 days left on the auction.

Have you been wondering lately what the value of a 3-digit numerical domain might be? The owner of 657.com has placed his domain on a 7-day auction and already has 6 bids in its first day. With just a little over 6 days remaining, bidding is already up to $7,500. Just 2 years ago I could have registered 3-digit numerical domain names all day long and was too stupid to see the value. Even a 3-digit numerical .net name has value. With about 2 hours remaining on a 7-day auction, 367.net has 20 bids and is up to $865. Sorta crazy, huh?

I’m not sure what YW.com ended up selling for the other day. I haven’t been able to confirm it. But the last time I checked, about a day before the auction expiration, bids were up to $81,000. BCE.com, a sweet 3-letter dot com, is going to close in 2 days. The highest bid is currently $15,505.

With 3 days and 13 hours remaining, bids for the 2-letter domain name YW.com hit $75,000. Both “Y” and “W” are considered difficult letters that normally taint the value of a 4-letter domain, but not so with this 2-letter domain name. It can mean many things to the successful winner of this auction. For example, it would stand for “Your Web,” “Young Women,” “Your Work,” “Yesterday’s Woman,” etc. I’m really pumped about this auction and looking forward to seeing just how high it will go. BCE.com, a sweet 3-letter domain with 6 days and 12 hours left on its 7-day auction, has already climbed to $9,800.

On a much smaller note I sold several 4-letter domain names today. One I was worried about on value that sold quickly with my EBay Buy it Now, or BIN, auction was IAQL.com. It went for $149. As noted yesterday, my Zoles.com sold for $1,250 on Sedo. A private sale of my TexasBreastImplants.com several months ago went for $2,250. All 3 of these domain names are fine examples of domains I picked up off a dropped, or expired domains, list and registered for $7.05 each. I also sold CUJT.com yesterday for $99 on a BIN auction. Bids for my InstantBidder.com have climbed to $100. A private offer for MillionaireAlliance.com, another domain name I own, was received yesterday for $500. I declined the sale and will hold out for a higher price.

Wow! Younger.com, a single word dictionary word domain name, sold on Sedo.com today for $75,000. Two domain name auctions I’m watching right now at Sedo.com involve a rare 2-letter domain name, yw.com, which has skyrocketed today to $75,000 and still has 6 days and 14 hours before the 7-day auction expires. The second is a 3-letter domain name, lkd.com, which has shot to $12,005 today with 2 days and 13 hours remaining on its 7-day auction. Both domain names will obviously end up being sold for much more, depending on a host of variables, the mos important one being time.

My zoles.com has 15 hours remaining on the auction and its highest bid still stands at $1,200. I’ve had over 543 reviews of the domain name page over the past week. Although traffic has been amazing to this great domaiin name, only one bidder (who has bid twice) has bid on this great brandable 5-letter domain name thus far.
