Got roughly 60 type-ins in last 32 days.

So the IDN is kicking in! Thoughts?

Hi Rich,
IDN's are picking up serious steam lately.Traffic has gone up on all of mine by at least 30%.Browser upgrades around the world must be starting to hit.I've had 3 IDN sales in the last month ,one of them low $XXXX.
Also there were some nice sales reported on DNJournal Tuesday:
<<Börsenbrief.ch (Swiss country code with a term meaning "market letter") for €2,000 ($2,446). Käfer.com (German for "beetle") sold for the same price.>>

That's great to see considering I also have traffic IDN's that are *much* better words than those "beetle" and "marketletter".My diseño.com (design in Spanish) topped 1000 visitors in July.
I don't know what to appraise realespaña.com.My first impulse is to say not that much yet,because it's two words.I think IDN's are sort of like .US right now in that the only big money ones are keywords and places."Realespaña" gets 6 Google results,but "real españa" get's 16,000.It seems like a fairly common phrase.I don't know,I would say low $XX right now.

How did you make your sales dillpupp?

<<How did you make your sales dillpupp?>>

Of my 6 total IDN sales I've made,4 of them were direct inquiries from people looking them up with WHOIS.Three of those sales were to investors in China.
The other 2 sales were made recently when I listed a lot of my domains up on eBay for auction.(I am selling approximately 1/3 of my domain collection trying to raise $2000 because I'm moving).The auction did not meet the reserve but after it ended I recieved some offers from people looking to buy individual names from the lot.I ended up selling one 1-letter IDN and one 2-letter IDN for low-mid $XXX each.
EDIT:Sold another *2*-letter IDN minutes ago for $200!
Actually I relisted the auction adding some new names.American eBay is a tough place to sell foreign domain names,but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.Certainly someone out there will see how incredible the package is.
