Well, actually I have already sold Chinese IDN at the upper end of this range already!

As a matter of interest, what do you think its English equivalent A.com would be worth?

As there are actually many more Arabic first language speakers than there are English Ist Language speakers, these valuations would seem a bit on the low side.

A.com will never be available -- it's used by the Netsol root DNS system.

Precisely my point, which would make it virtually priceless!

I've sold,maybe 30,1-letter IDN's in the last year and a half from $100- all the way to low $XXXX each for some Vietnamese characters.
I don't see why Arabic would be any different,probably mid $XXX ATM.Probably more to a serious end user.

I wish Sedo would get thier act together and handle the full spectrum of IDN's.I have ₩.com & ‰~.tv,Korea's and Japan's currency symbols,respectively,which I'd like to list.

Arabic is a totally different scenario for several reasons. Vietnamese is based on Romanic characters and is not widely spoken outside Vietnam, which although it has a fairly large population cannot compare with Arabic which is the second largest global language in terms of native speakers. The Vietnamese economy is also still very small.

The second reason my Arabic domains are worth more is that I wouldn't contemplate selling them for those prices. If you had hung on you would certainly have got more at some point in the future, but only when IDNs became more widely adopted in Vietnam.

Don't think SEDO have any immediate plans to widen the characters accepted for Korea and Japan, but have you tried inputing them at SEDO.cn which is the site accepting far east language characters (Japanese, Chinese and Korean)

High $xxx to low $x,xxx with excellent long-term appreciation potential.

Good luck.
