Well, I guess you should stick to advising on what you know. Just sold my second dot CN for 2000 Euros.

Good for you dwrixon, was that a character-based name or a romanic name ?

Romanic characters. The two domains sold are:

catalyst.cn and seo.cn

Most of my .cn are three letter acronyms. Must say though that I think IDN are the future and IDN dot coms are as much part of the dot com register as any other dot com.

I guess I have written about this before, but let me sum it up a bit again.

.cn domains are definitely worth something, but mostly to the Chinese or people who have considerable interest (I mean "stake") in China. A LOT of foreigner speculators lost some good deal of money during the "rush" when the second level .cn opened up back in Spring 2003.

One of the most obvious mistake by these "losers" was that they had registered those so-called "keyword" domains which their target clients cannot even spell correctly. For instance, information or restaurants are "difficult" words even among the on-line population there who are more used to numbers or Pinyin and browsing mostly Chinese websites.

And for those who don't read or speak their language, selling (to the Chinese) itself could be hell. In short, you need to know the place (culture) in order to tap into that wealth. For others, I would suggest staying away.

Good points made about value of Chinese names. I have a couple (democracy.org.cn and qigong.org.cn) that I'm hoping will have value someday. I'd guess that as a package yours are not worth over $200 at this point - but I can't say that I really know the Chinese market.

Good to know that you have found a buyer who knows both English and Chinese well. ;)

.cn domain names do have some value. However, they have to be short (less than 5 characters).

I have a number of dot CN, mostly 3 letter acroyms which were selected on the basis of high Google scores. I am looking to cut my holding and I am prepared to let them go for $100 or possibly even less if someone wants to take them as a package. I think I have 30 to 40 that I want to let go!
