No 6 figure sale yet, two reasons for this:
Firstly, no premium domains are for sale in the market.
Secondly, rich domainers that are able to spend big bucks are not in idns yet.

I have a Japanese com domain. Quite a few Japanese companies are spending $2k plus daily on this term in adwords. I simply copied and pasted a wiki article and formed a lousy adsense site for this domain. It reaps up to 67 adsense clicks per day with $1.xx per click even at this stage that the domain is not resolvable to most visitors. Owning this domain, would you sell it for a lousy 6 figure? I have no intention to sell. Most premium idn owners are in the same situation.

Right now, big buck buyers are these rich ascii-ers. But most of these people are not capable of mining idn golds yet. Very few top ascii-ers in idn market are simply enjoying picking up bargains and expanding their portfolio.

If any of you guys trolling and baiting don't think there will be reported 6 figure + IDN sale(s) in the not too distant future , 1-2 years max in my opinion, you are living in cloud cuckoo land. JMO

But then I live in a part of the world where I know they would prefer to use their own as opposed to a foreign language to access the net and many are already doing so in ever increasing numbers. How do I know? I talk to locals here in Thailand and friends and colleagues in HK , China etc . And to simply qualify that I check on the increasing traffic my squiggly character domain names are getting.

All that said, In my five years of domaining I have never been close to a single domain sale of $100,000 of any type (Best was $17,000 for one name - close to $100K for a bulk sale ) , they are rare enough in ascii .com .

I will be happy to potter along picking up the odd sale in whatever denomination, tld , IDN , ascii I am not fussy. I was a little late in to the IDN market but have still made a few sales - it is unlikely the big one will come from my portfolio - but then this is a weird business - stranger things have happened and I am not averse to lady luck choosing me!
