Hi, I'm wondering which price has the highest STR.
And if this really matters.
And if this really matters.
Right off the bat, I would eliminate $2000.I am not sure it makes much difference, and over years keep changing my preference, but voted 1995.
As @Samer and @abcuser123 pointed out, the Asian interpretation of 8 as lucky probably has much to do with the 88 popularity, and several highly successful big sellers use it, I presume based on evidence within their own portfolio. I do use 88 for some of my pricing.
A Turkish marketing study, not based on sales of domain names in any way, found that triply repeating digits were effective, i.e. consumers might prefer $2222 to $1988. I tried it for a little while, but have switched most back.
Thanks for the interesting points made by all commenters, and to @TopBrandsForSale for starting the discussion.

Where does this $x88 $xx88 $x888 etc. frenzy stem from? I know there is someone who regularly reports sales of $xx888, but now everyone and their mother seems to be using those kind of prices when the traditional charm pricing (odd number endings) would make more sense, at least when we are talking about ”consumer level” prices, otherwise I wouldn’t even bother with charm pricing.
Yes I know about the value of number 8 when you’re focusing on the Asian market, because Asian sellers & buyers emphasize luck and good fortune, but I still find its popularity baffling.
As counterbalance, 88 is a neo-nazi symbol (at least in Europe; e.g. it's banned on Austrian license plates) and 1488 is also used by white supremacists.
Congratulations on the sale @VadimK! May I know how long did you take to sell this?
Thank you. Here are all sales reports:Congratulations on the sale @VadimK! May I know how long did you take to sell this?
Thanks in advance!
Pricing style matter too, if a specific domain listed at $2000 and other same niche domain listed at $1988 or even 1999 then def this attract buyer thought..If a buyer doesn't like a domain, pricing it at $1988 rather than $1995 or $1999 or whatever is unlikely to convince them to change their mind.
Brandpa likes 95 endingsSquadHelp seem to like 99 endings for premium listings, but exceptions, perhaps some of which are sellers changing prices.

1949
Am i getting it right, that you make fun with the 2nd World War? But I'm glad you paid attention to history classes. In Germany, jokes like that are not appreciated.
As it happens, the USA was the zone of occupation 1945-1949 in Germany. So please don't make jokes like that. Even if you only wrote one number, it's pretty clear it wasn't random.
Wow I just saw your ridiculous post. I really don't give a crap about Germany and my number had nothing to do with World War 2. Thank you for your input.Am i getting it right, that you make fun with the 2nd World War? But I'm glad you paid attention to history classes. In Germany, jokes like that are not appreciated.
