[dotworkbrands]

The buyer got a great deal. Heika is worth at least $500,000.

Heika = Majesty in Japanese.

 

[NameOmnia]

I agree with Heika being a great name but someone has to explain to me who the hell would pay 10K for procrastination...
Yes good for an info site or blog but that's it

Heika is also part of Ikebana.

..but who the hell would pay 300k for Majesty? lol

Someone just paid.

As I mentioned above Heika is also a particular form of Ikebana.
Japan has over 100Million inhabitants and some of Japanese words are very well known and used worldwide thus there is a big value in them...pity that you can't see it

lol pity? get over it man!!

why didnt they get Ikebana instead of Heika? I still fail to understand the value of the domain name, or you really dont know yourself :P

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. (definition as per Wikipedia)

 

[discobull]

I haven't had much luck with Japanese .coms. This gives me hope.

First of all relax.
Second I am not a man.
Third it's always a pity when someone is in someway missing out some opportunities because he/she is failing to understand the value or the potential of a certain investment.
Forth I suspect you are still not understanding considering that the value of ikebana.com is much higher than what they paid for heika beside not being for sale probably.
Fifth I probably understand it better than you as I gave you reasons that justify the price while you have only been repeating that you don't understand...well...keep not understanding then!

Well how much would you expect somebody to pay if you owned king.com? or queen.com?

First and foremost, I am fully relaxed and have had all my Thai-Massages for the year that I needed, so you dont have to tell me what to do!
Second, your profile photo and name doesnt say your gender!
Third, I do not invest in what I dont know about, or some language I do not understand, but hey pity on you as well since you missed an opportunity eh?
Fourth (its FOURTH not FORTH), You still didnt elaborate on the value of heika, and now ranting about value of another name!!
Fifth, you gave whatever reasons and that justifies the price a domain name? oh wow, that means whatever you say is justified now?

I give it to you woman, you win, enjoy!

 

[Soofi]

Are we talking about king or queen dot com's here? no my friend, its not even majesty dot com here but something that is similar to the last word so yeah five figures seem relevant, not 6 figures is my humble opinion.

You or few others may even go upto paying 7 figures, but that's you

 

[-EM-]

Why .com and not .jp ?

 

[Soofi]

Why .com and not .jp ?

There are too many WHY's in this sale but guess endusers or investors do not care EM!

 

[Name Trader]

I personally have a problem with foreign language words being translated into English, and then claimed they are Premium domains. Why are they Premium? @-EM- asked why .com not .jp. I would ask why an English translation of a Japanese word is valuable even though it has no sense in English? I might just go and translate the top 10,000 japanese words into the English language and register all the available .coms Rinse and Repeat for the top ten languages used in business today. Do you think this might be profitable exercise?

I have no problem with this domain selling for $300k. The buyer apparently wants the domain. I just wish my non-sensical single word .com's could sell for 1% of that.

Great sale. All sales are good for industry. The larger the better. Increases everyone's portfolio and brings awareness on just how expensive that domain they must have might run them.
