    Hi Everybody.

    One of my friends is in the pool.com auction for the domain name "Buy.Asia".
    Which will be held in a few weeks or so. And he asked for my opinion on how high he should go to for the name.
    Personally I'm not sure how high I would go to for any .Asia name but a nice name like that does make me very interested.
    Anybody have any suggestions for me to tell him on how high he should bid for a name like that even if it is .Asia?

    Thanks:D

    Pretty nice name and pretty bad extension but still it can be an ebay of Asia so i would say its worth fighting for.

    Yep many thought they can earn a huge bucks buy doing the same for .com and .org. But too bad .asia extension isn't very demanding.

    Anyone know how much buy.eu or something similar went for?
    I figure that might be a nice starting place for him to work with.

    thanks for the top10, I guess if I am going off them I should tell him to go to like 15000 at least.
    I don't think he really has any idea what he is going to do with the site yet, but it should be a pretty easy name to work with. I have a feeling he will end up holding onto it for two or three years and then flipping it.
