Bought this name right when it came out in 2000, been a long 16 years for IDN to develop. What are your thoughts on this name, could it be a "6 figure or 7 figure" name in the near future? Appreciate any feedback?
not to hijack this thread but me and you are on the same boat so I figured why not mention my similar domain
官话.com = Mandarin.com
Mandarin Oriental Hotel?
http://www.mandarinoriental.com/newyork/
Mandarin = Language of 1.7 billion Chinese.
官话 - a symbol instantly recognizable to 1.7 billion Chinese.
5 million + searches on Baidu.
Your
視頻.com ?
Gets 12,600,000 searches results on Baidu even better it gets this amount of results as the full "視頻.com".
hope that helps.
Wow, that is some huge numbers, hope the IDN picks up, had this name since 2000. Thanks for the info, good luck to you, keep in touch!
Thanks, Jim
ehhh not really. I have other IDN.com's that get 100,000,000 results. but those unfortunately are IDN.IDN
which I'm hearing sucks.
I don't believe in IDN has any future in any language. Sorry just my opinion.
So far been dead. I do have some great ones, Video.com, Wireless.com, Software.com in Chinese, so I will keep renewing at $9 a year just in case
Sounds like good names. However market trend is regular .com which we see now chip market already evolved. I don't think other types has future.
Video.com IDN Chinese, many low balls, highest might have been 5K
Wireless.com IDN Chinese, never, but I own IDN wireless.net in Chinese and that has had a few about 10 year ago for about 1K.
Software.com IDN Chinese, none.
I was the first group to reg right when they were released in 2000, I should of started hand reg nnnn.com instead, maybe even nnn.com were available in 2000, oh well.
See what happens, time will tellshould've sold it for $5000 imo. You took a risk and I hope it pays off.

That would be fantastic if you would grap some NNN.com keep them until now.

seriously why not post on 4.cn? at BIN? it's only I think $149 a year and unlimited domains you can list. your video.com in Chinese? I'd put this price lol
888,888 RMB = 133,239.67 USD
or
8,888,888 RMB = 1,332,394.68 USD
what's thee effect of posting at this high price?
I think domainers who check out 4.cn are LAZY so they straight for the highest priced domains ASSUMING that the highest priced domains is something worth taking a look at.
It doesn't necessarily mean it will get bids or offers. as from what I've seen these high priced BIN domains gets tons of views more than the cheaper bargain basement ones.
only problem is they get no bids or offers.
but I suspect if you upgrade and turn a BIN listing into an auction after it's gotten tons of views.
I suspect the people who have been "watching" your high priced domain will maybe know it's for auction.
Imagine they have been keeping an "eye" on it maybe to see if there are any bids. The chinese I bet are very careful and they don't want to be the first one to BID. maybe they feel if they do. They might overbid..as I think most "tire kickers" and "window shoppers" chinese domainers aren't "pros" just simple people looking for a "life raft" in the bad Chinese economy right now.
So imagine a domain they have been keeping an eye on suddenly shows up for auction? Don't you think they will be curious to "check it out" then? (even more views)
and perhaps finally since it's at auction. They might bid and after that first bid. It might trigger a buying frenzy.
Maybe?????
I think only in China can this technique of pricing a domain ridiculously high can work and not Sedo or Godaddy or Flippa.
I remember seeing once on 4.cn the domain 8888888888888888888888888888888.com and the seller put a BIN like 888,888,888,888 RMB.
Wouldn't you know it? It sold? not for asking but I'm sure probably for $100-$200 at auction.
so here's also what I think will happen.
A rich whale see's your domain for auction. and it's a great domain like your Video domain. AND he sees that it has 300-500 views on 4.cn. maybe in his mind he thinks one of those 300-500 views might make a last minute bid and grab your domain for cheap and they might miss out.
I would add in the description
"Bid Quickly. Smart cheap Chinese Domainers will wait last minute buy this great domain for the lowest price possible. This auction will soon end. Don't lose the chance to own this domain. Make your BEST OFFER now."
I compare this scenario to a private contractor bid where you don't know what the other person is willing to bid but the auction does have a countdown.
I think this is how we find sales of domains in 4.cn being very high. Impulse buy.
That's it I'm done. I wish I had a domain like yours. This is what I'd do.
Thanks for all the great info! I sold ton's on names at 4.cn over the years, almost all ll.tv, and nn.tv, Chinese love short .tv. Maybe I will test some IDN over there. See what happens. Thanks!
EDIT. oh by the way. I'm no expert. lol

I don't get why these don't do well.
In China, how do people typically type in domains? Using Latin letters or Chinese characters?
