I just put in an offer for a one-word Japanese word domain. If it was English it would be worth hundreds of thousands easily. I only bought it because I thought it might be a really good investment - something to hold onto for many years.

Does anyone else have any interest in these kinds of domains? If so I would ask NS to create a topic for them.

I'll post more about my domain after I complete the sale. Then I have to figure out if I should park it or build a site for it...?

Sure Nielsencl. We will try and get some threads on this one in our Domain Discussion section. As soon as we have 5 threads we will just shift them in new section. If you want I can create a new section right now for this kind of domain names and we can have discussions about it in that section.

That sounds good. We'll see if there are others that are interested.

I've been trying to find Japanese domains ALL NIGHT LONG! Picked up some nice ones back in May, but WOW... everything is taken. A majority of my IDN portfolio (currently @ about 800 IDNs) is in Arabic and I got my hands on some serious gold... wondering if you have more than one? How's the traffic doing on your IDN? I've got some making xx/day right now... which last year were making x/month! I took a serious risk when starting, but things look bright.

IDNs do sell and some for big loot but it takes a good understanding of the language you are targetting. What might be a common english term would translate into a very uncommon IDN domain. The best is if you can speak the language you are investing IDN.

Goodluck.
