Nope, I sure can't, it's the single most frustrating part of the domain industry. 75% of all sales make absolutely no sense. |

| Overpaid, .org tld lacks recognition here in France and plural jeux.org would have been better.

I know it's always frustrating to see things like that happen on sedo.

Anither reason the sale seems high is because "J" is a poor letter for acronym use, IMO. | |

| I don't think it's out of line, I mean it does mean 'Game' in French.
according to Wikipedia there are 350 million french speakers in the world, and less than 100 million in France alone, so I wouldn't look at this sale in terms of just one country.
'expensive' is a relative term, if a French media company bought it, the price to them probably wasn't expensive. If the average person bought it for investment, then maybe it would be expensive to them.
look at what ireport.com sold for, if someone wants a name bad enough they might be willing to even overpay. | |
