Today is the 10 year anniversary of 3Character.com, the first project I ever started in the domain industry. I had been interested in LLL.com since about 2000 but kept getting distracted by work to ever focus on them, I think the first LLL.com I bought was XEF.com for $800 in the old Afternic forum.

So sitting in the Namepros chatroom I messaged ZestyDomains who owned a lot of great LLL.com domains, including HHH.com. I asked him what he thought about a site dedicated to everything 3 character ? This was a time before the blogs when forums ruled along with the Godfather of Domain publishing Ron Jackson and his DN Journal. Andrew/ZestyDomains said he would help, and I said well I want you to be apart of the site not just a contributor every once in a while.

I remember just going through Afternic and Sedo and looking for all the past sales and writing them down by hand. Andrew from Zesty gets the credit for the price guide, I did not come up with that, that was his baby.

I remember thinking 50 to 100 people will read this on Namepros,

How much did you now sell XEF ?

And I thank EQ and Z every time I use/suggest the site.
Still a great resource after all these years.

Congratulations :)

I have frequently checked the site over the years - at one stage I had about 80 CCC dot coms (I could not afford the LLL dot coms, and still cant!!!) and they served me very well and profitably - I still have 29 left and the ones I sold allowed me to buy even better quality names.

I hadn't checked it for a few years, times have changed! :) Is there historical data? Would be interesting to see the upward trend over the past 10 years.

I don't know if Andrew has kept historical charts.
