Nice Thread!

This one will have awesome future IMO.
Buying a condo-->home improvement-->Marriage-->Birth of the child is always the central of the young Chinese lives. I can hear this word every 3 hours when I was in China.

This one wasn't Private
It was sold on IDNF, it was my domain

Hmm... seems mostly reseller to reseller

Are there any big end-user sales yet? Some impressive sales nonetheless though.

Well its hard to tell because alot of things go on in private , But i will tell you this, every person that buys a Domain is not always a Reseller , Alot of guys spending big bucks on IDN's have Big Development plans from what i have witnessed, And I know of many companies using and owning IDN's, how they aquired them im not 100% sure , but i am certain when IE7 is realeased and awarness of IDNs is more wide spread , Companies will be beating down doors. Also if you followed Traffics closely last month, you would realise that most of the top Generics in ASCII never actually made it to an end-user either. That doesn't seem to have detracted greatly from their value.

Here is a Quote from a Domainer that purchased a 60k IDN

Hi,

I'm not really an end user, i'am a speculater who wants to realize some projects on some of the domains later on. I think Städtereisen.de is one of my domains where you can say i'm thinking like an end user.

Also i suspect we will see alot more " Pride Buying " ie :

"Many domain names related to China's traditional festivals and national legacies have been lost to overseas investors. We must prevent further losses."

Qu, Dragon festival get official domain name
Zhu Moqing
2006-05-31
The domain name was previously registered to a company in South Korea which has claimed the festival's origin in Korea. Yao Jinbo, a Chinese Internet investor retrieved the precious domain name last November by paying the Korean company US$30,000. He then donated the domain name to Zigui County, Hubei Province, where the great poet Qu was born.

True, but if you check IDNF we have people from all across the world doing the sales. Thus it's not U.S. -> U.S. sales.

For example:
Homeimprovement.com in chinese sold for 12k between two Chinese people.

I believe the last one Ainori should be removed.
The deal didn't go through (as far as I know) but Huron can confirm it.
