number domain 51.com bought for $122,000

[bigbobm]

Good news for people who deal in number domains. Here is a link to anticle that mentions 51.com was bought over a year ago for 960,000 Yaun. I did a quick currency calculator and comes out to a little over $122,000 USD. Looks like they got it for a bargain

This number means the equivalent of "Ezy" in Chinese. Many websites use the number 51, e.g. 51jobs, 51house, etc.

That is a great sale. Now if only I owned a few nice domains.

 

[wasistdas]

That seems that sooner or later all number domains in .com will be bought by chinese ppl.

Very nice. I need to adjust up my asking price for 27.com :thumb:

There was another numeric sale in this weeks sales report but you may have missed it in all the other huge sales: 598.com sold for $8,275.

This number means the equivalent of "Ezy" in Chinese.

What does 83 =? Based on revenue alone 83.com is worth way more than $122,000.

No, 51.com is worth many times more than 83.com. 51 is a popular name for chinese websites - there must be a hundred websites that start with 51.

No doubt, this is a good sale; numeric
domains have always been popular in
China.

Be interesting to see what happens with
numeric domains over there 'though once
IDN gets underway...
