you guys may not know, when you type anything on address bar and press Ctrl-Enter, IE & Firefox add prefix "www" and suffix ".com" to that. So, if educated a little bit, surfers can just type in Chinese word and press Ctrl-Enter.

Also when type word and press enter, Firefox goes to the first site of Google's search results, which oftenly it's that word + .com.

This is one of the many arguments used by those that favour dot com over ccTLDs for IDN speculation. Nice but not mission critical!

I think both idn can do well for both ctld and com. Most countries reserve city/state names for their ctld, so city.com will be more valuable since there's no alternative.

Hi Richard,
I have not been online, and out at meetings all morning. I will not be back online until I get off work tonight about 8pm e.s.t. Regarding the opinion on the value of IDN tokyo.com...there is a thread at IDNF from a week or so ago for starters.

Are you aware that bogota.com (Columbia) sold for $165,000 last year? You hardly see city domains come up for sale. They are very rare...check out dallas.com, newyork.com, miami.com and imagine what kind of revenue these guys are making off the advertising alone.

Why would you not think that a dotcom city domain, especially one for a city the size of Tokyo, with 12,000,000 population (as large as New York City) would not be worth more than bogota.com??

I think you would find that there are buyers for Tokyo dot com that would buy it in the price range we have gathered from industry veterans. Feel free and try to get the seller of tokyo.com (idn) to put it up for auction...hint: its already been tried.

In the meantime have you published your "thoughts" and "sources" on the future of idning and why it may never happen? Or did I catch you agreeing in one of your earlier statements that it is inevitable to happen.
I think it was a few threads behind the one where you said that IDN tokyo.com was probably not worth $200. Of course that continues to show your lack of market knowledge since dozens of smaller Japanese cities had ALREADY changed hands during February on in the xxx to xxxx range. So how could you surmise that tokyo.com is worth less? Yesterday, 2 Japanese prefectures sold at $2,500 each.

Richard- are you the same Richard that published this here at DNF on
1-2-06. Seems like you have already qualified who we are dealing with here.

Hi Bill/Touchring

He he. Good to hear from you.

Yes, that was me! (you wouldn't be
trying to undermine me now would
you Bill? ). I realise what you have
posted looks odd, especially as you
have quoted me out of context, but
the thread was just a bit of fun,
nothing to do with domain names;
they call it humour over here in the
uk, but quite honestly I can't see me
doing that again in this forum.

But anyway, we'll have our own fun
here, ya hear? I will post my questions
to you tomorrow if thats ok with you;
it will be very interesting for me to
know some of the thinking that has
gone into this sale, and I know other
'would-be' speculators would apprec.
the inside 'skinny' too.

Take care, will post tomorrow.

I am getting bored with being abused and interogatted by this half-wit. I am British and I have no idea of what he is talking about when he professes to humourous. Anyone, help out here? Come fellow Brits I know humour can be specific to background or region, but frankly I am at a complete loss here?

Wow this exploded.

Glad I missed the boat on IDN domains, seems like a tough neighborhood...lol

Richard-
I am personally not interested in communicating with you any more. Anyone that has read this thread can see that you are nothing more than an immature manipulator.

Your earlier post (I am the rich jerk Jan 02) just points up that you are not here to learn or share, just 'jerk' people off. My comments are certainly not "taken out of context" as your implied. I posted ALL of your words, and the thread link is there if anyone is interested. Game over for you. You have no credibility with anyone here.

 

[richard]

Oh ok Bill,

Pity you didn't want to share your
reasons for buying that .net with
us, anyway the very best of luck
with it...

To be frank, i would have bought it if i had sufficient Paypal balance, to say it in an ugly way - Dave sold it too cheap.

As for the .com, it would have been impossible for a non-japanese to buy that domain. You can try offering $100,000 to the japan registrant of tokyo.com and see if he would sell you the domain - we can do that as an experiment.

Chances are that he would never sell that domain to a non-japanese, whatever the price...it won't be easy for a British or American to comprehend this kind of mentality.

 

[richard]

Hi Touchring,

You seem very genuine, and it looks like
you do want to carry on a constructive
discussion here. But to be frank, there
is little to discuss now; this thread was
originally about the domain that Bill had
purchased and, as he now does not want
to talk any more about that purchase, I
think we should now let this thread lie.

...or else you can simply continue with it
as a pro idn.com thread? (I know I won't
be able to learn anymore about idn.com
here).

Anyway, whatever you wish to do...

Regards

Richard

Bill,

You won't be familiar with the UK Government's Policy of "Care in the Community". Over 10 years ago we closed down many of the Mental Health Institutions in this country, and let a lot of in the inmates fend for themselves in Society. It has, by and large, been very successful improving quality of life for many and saving the tax payer lots of money. You must, however, expect the odd isolated local difficulty.

Gosh, just yesterday, i read on the papers about a UK prisoner killed a fellow inmate, eat his liver and eye, and they were asking why that guy wasn't staying in the mental hospital.
