hmm, I doubt that there will be too many takers at this price level. Would be nice to have traffic info from the registry, so it would be easier to pick

[stbmax]

I don't know...I think a few top generics, might be a bargain, at this price, if still available.
For Example:
Insurance
Loans
Cars
In Russian, Of Course...Just to name a few.

Trust me, those that buy won't be interested in traffic stats. Those that need help aren't likely to bid.

Domains will sell, and some will sell day one. This is a one off opportunity, you either first or you are not. This is not a competitive bidding scenario.

[brian1234]

It's a good opportunity, and I would think that as many as a hundred or so will sell on day 1 at the 10mn mark.

100 domains / $300K?

i would be surprised

If they are picking from a dream list of top generics, it could easily happen.

However, if most of the good names are held back, then it is unlikely.

We will all have to wait and see.

[snicksnack]

100 at $300K each, I have my doubts. I can see 5-10 max, but I might be tottaly wrong here

[mkellerman]

100 * $300k =$30M
Is there that much total liquidity to buy domains for the Russian market. I can't believe it.

I imagine about 10 of the top ones will sell at that price. Maybe people with inside contacts can get a cheaper price though...

The purchases will be made by end users. The Vodka.com demonstrates the potential amongst Russian Corporates.

Of course they can get them cheaper if they have a Trademark, but it is likely that competitors will object to the issuance of Trademarks for Generics.

Furthermore, it would seem to me that most large Russian Corporates are not even going to bother about the cost here. If they perceive the need they will do it. If they do not perceive the need they will not. If you think they will not, then you are probably one those Americans that think the majority of Russians speak English.

Well, we'll see. But, if you think about it, $30mn isn't very much at all when you consider that just one Russian billionaire could come along and write a cheque for $30mn instantly, and in return he will have 100 ultra-prime generics and full control of Russia's best Internet 'real estate' going forward...

I dare say that a few Russian's are thinking about doing just that as we speak!

I am sure that have more serious things to think about than how to squander the petty cash, but I guess some of them will turn out on race day. Just don't expect them to plan next year's itinerary around it. As you suggest, it could easily be just a spur of the moment thing.

Hell, I would be quite happy to see the whole thing collapse and everyone go dot com.

Yes RD, 'tis still "petty cash" to some.. I think the "traffic" question, for .РФ, would have to be a case of intelligent guesswork, since there is no past-performance to go on. Do you agree?

Or, should we look to (russian) idn.com for possible traffic indicators?

One thing is for sure, it will be interesting to see what happens here...

That makes nonsense as they currently have no recognised value.
