So if someone offers you $99 for one, you say no? Give me a break man.
The domains aren't worth anything right, max 10$ for the set.
Yes, that is right for single domains, and if you want domains for under $500, it is paypal up front and no messing! You have to draw the line somewhere. All of the English stuff I drop ends up getting reregistered, and I suspect that that they end up paying a lot more than at Snapnames and Pool!

They don't spend even 0.0001% for the domains.
The name of organization is "XN--WTQS81ARI5B" (âXâ¢Ãâ¹Ã), actually.
And the .jp is already reserved.
I am sure that is right. A lot of searches for that on Overture, but there will be name changes in the privatisation, so the existing name will be probably become redundant. The existing organisation is already set to be split into 4, but will probably also be opened up to competition. I think you will find that the generics will be the most valuable. By the way 0.0001% of $3Trillion is still about $300M.

I am sorry, but it is real.
Because I am Japanese.
These words are politics things.

Well in that case you should know that nearly all search terms used in Japan are in local characters and that the reason IDN are not used is primarily due to a lack of browser support!
You are about to witness a revolution, in the way the internet is accessed in Japan, and it would seem that you will be too slow to make a Yen out of it!

have a nice drop then

seriously though, I see were you are coming from with the reggs (from a speculators POV).
It's just that I dont see were you are going with them...
I have learnt the hard way that that there is not much traffic on alternate extensions and that selling domains can take a long time. Even good dot coms take time to realise their full potential. That said, I have probably recuperated my investment by and large on my English portfolio, and I have now consolidated to a smaller portfolio, but with a positive cashflow.
Well with IDN, actually it works much the same as with English Names. You can either push them or sit on them. If you have good stuff you can just wait for the punters to approach you. That is how it has worked with dot CN and IDN to date and frankly much more so that with my other portfolios. I have sold to Mainland China, its not so complicated. A commited buyer can get his head around Escrow.com.
The whole point is that you are far more likely to pin down a term that is of real interest in an IDN, you can also still have the luxury of the dot com extension. Buy the right stuff now and in six months it should be producing a self sustaining revenue stream and probably turning a healthy profit. As far as selling well, it just a question of waiting for the right offers to come along!
