discuss Why people bid for some meaningless domains like crazy?

[Denismth]

I try to observe which domains get the most bids and prices in godaddy auctions and wonder why some meaningless domains like k22 or a set of numbers like 6446 (left the TLDs) get higher bids and prices.
Who is going to buy these and for what reason? Any clue?

Most likely they have good backlinks, low spam score, etc. Short numeric domains are preferred by Chinese.

The Chinese also invest on domains? I haven't thought that
