...would poop-tier names like these be so valuable!?

VNS88.com - $11.100,00
VNS8.com - $10.200,00

I see those and countless other gibberish domains selling for ridiculous sums. What the hell is the appeal?

Or RQZW.com? There are seemingly millions of those ugly things floating around and selling for serious cash. WTFunk?

Check who owns them, all owned by Chinese or Vietnamese

These combinations have certain value to some Chinese people

Just google "chinese lucky numbers"...8 is at the top of the list

Freaking weird. I was just surfing through Namejet's auctions, and I swear if it weren't for all the gibberish and numbered domains it looks like they'd have no inventory at all. Not quite. But almost.
