question Did 3.com really sell?

[Bob Hawkes]

So just listed a few minutes ago on NameBio is a sale on Flippa of what seems to be 3.com for $3100. I can't find any other single digit number .com sales in NameBiio. Is this really a sale, or is it some sort of IDN? I would have thought a single digit would go for much more than that and did not know they were even released in .com. @Michael

This domain name was idn XN--QOD.com we can use it as ვ.com It's not a numeric character please put this character into your browser.
Recently I had sold 3 idns through sedo also. Thanks

Thank you. I am wondering if NameBio could not show it this way, or in some other way, clearly indicate IDN for domain sales.

3.cymru I actually had never even heard of dot cymru until now. (Namebio lists zero sales for .cymru) I'd imagine it's not worth much, it follows along the same practice that some domainers follow of registering every possible extension of a domain that has sold thinking that all the extensions for that name are valuable - most often: not the case!

Yes, I needed to review this as well.

It's one of the GeoTLDs.

"A GeoTLD (geographic TLD) is a top-level domain in the Domain Name System of the Internet using the name of or invoking an association with a geographical, geopolitical, ethnic, linguistic or cultural community."

".cymru is one of two geographic top level domains (GeoTLD) for Wales (the other being .wales). The TLD was proposed by the British internet registry company Nominet, which has run the domain for the UK (.uk) since 1996."

Thanks to fellow namepros members.

Yes, people do register other extensions of a popular sale in anticipation but in this case, I live in the valleys of South Wales not far from the Welsh capital of Cardiff. I have seen how the government here is promoting the Welsh language for fear of its extinction as the new generation are not too keen on using the language in the South. The Welsh language is more functional in North Wales.

I am holding this name in anticipation that any of those programmes might fit into '3.cymru'.
More so, the mobile phone network '3' is very big in the UK. Who knows one day...!

$3100 is not bad for a single character IDN

It's very high for a single-char IDN

Those we've sold have ranged from $135 to $1200

If they're starting to sell for high numbers on Flippa, I ought to start preparing a few listings

This could not be it. Some typo or error of course.

I have message Michael Sumner from Namebio on his phone so that he could get it rectified

I contacted @Michael and he removed from Namebio so this situation is closed. It was an IDN, it's not on Namebio.

Not yet bud. Just checked this url: https://namebio.com/3.com

PFA Screenshot!

 

[Bob Hawkes]

Yes it has continued to show for me too and appears in a search for 3. The sale is apparently genuine on Flippa, it just needs to show as IDN code not 3.

Michael just responded that he had removed it earlier but since it was an automated process and got readded again. he's sorted it out once for all
