Those sales are minsicule. There bulk of sales are going on behind closed doors with non-disclosures.
A hundred or so reported sales can be found at idntools.com in the IDN sales lists. A lot of parallels to values of ASCII names over the last 10 years, only with IDN we are back the 90's. The difference will be that when ICANN opens the hatch next year with idn.idn and browser support for IDN is well adapted, things will happen a whole lot faster.
