Sudoku.jp seems like it has some value. I am not an expert on .jp, but if there are similar sales then you will just have to use your wits if you get someone interested. The Otaku.info name does not have much value. It may make sense, but it won't get traffic, and the name isn't strong enough to overcome the extention. Now, if someone had intentions of developing a site about loans, then of course it would make sense for that, but my theory is that names like this are usually not worth the trouble, since it takes time and effort to find a buyer. Spending a lot of time and effort to find a buyer for a name that won't bring a nice price is bad time management. I used to do it a lot, and still do to a degree.

I think you will have more of a feel as to the value than most people here, and I like your detailed and professional approach as you laid out your case in the thread (though normally I would say the less info the better, but since these are Japanese related it was a good idea). Good luck.

Do they use the word 'sudoku' in Japan ? Just asking.
I don't see .jp sales often.
With 1.18 million .jp registered for 125 million inhabitants it does not look like the TLD is hugely popular. Plus the regfee is rather steep.

Thank you all.

I understand my domain's value.

I received an offer ( for SUDOKU dot JP ), and I try to domain auction at sedo.

Thank you.
