Sold dirt cheap. It's "1997" in terms of IDN prices in China. What an opportunity. 99.99% of Chinese internet users still don't know about IDNs. That is all about to change when ICANN rolls out their (new) IDN.IDN in full unicode next year and it all hits the media.

Just to clarify, ALL of these domains are actually .cn, only that thru aliasing by certain dns-servers .cn now maps to .中国.

This aliasing to .idn is what most IDN holders are hoping will happen for all languages and scripts to take IDN.com and IDN.net to IDN.idn(.com idn equivalent) and IDN.net(.net idn equivalent) via aliasing as proposed in the Verisign report on DNAME equivalents.

As the IDNers say, welcome to the 'parallel universe' of domaining.
Enter at your own risk. LOL

Bill, I can remember trying to talk to people about IDN's in 2002 and was repeatedly laughed at. Now, nearly seven years later, people are still a little suspicious (and there's still a long way to go) BUT how on earth can you argue with early sales like this?!

Napoleon, was supposed to have said "let China sleep, for when she wakes the world will shake".. So, even 200 years ago they were talkin' about idn.cn !! :lol:

Those sales are minsicule. There bulk of sales are going on behind closed doors with non-disclosures.
A hundred or so reported sales can be found at idntools.com in the IDN sales lists. A lot of parallels to values of ASCII names over the last 10 years, only with IDN we are back the 90's. The difference will be that when ICANN opens the hatch next year with idn.idn and browser support for IDN is well adapted, things will happen a whole lot faster.
