I sold ἱ.com single Letter IDN Domain for only 150$!! what do you think?

Hi,
some days ago I sold a single Letter IDN Domain "á¼±.com" for only 150$
do you think that It is a good price or I have to sold for more??

here my auction where I sold it:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200374763748

Code (markup):

 

If you know what will you do with that domain name in the near future I suppose that would be vise to make such kind of investigation

 

dude.. that was a precioussssssssss single letter domain one of THE 26 the legends spake of..If you had played it right you could easily have gotten mid $x,xxx for it(just IMHO)

 

If you knew §.com went for that amount will you be selling i.com for 150$?? I seriously doubt it

 

LOL.... it was an auction ... I see other auction that finish for more LOL

 

The value of a domain can be based on several factors. So we can't judge it just from the domain itself.
Since you have sold, just don't take many energy to think of it.

 

I would have paid you a lot more.

 

i.com and only 150$ Are you seriouse ? waw.. I wish If I only had such domain names. .. i thought it was 'i' instead of greek alphabet..

 

I have to say I'm shocked... The buyer is going to make a huge profit on that.

 

chill guys

i dont know what does this means can some one explain how u put i.com ???


This domain is an IDN domain name which stands for Internationalized Domain Name.
The letter of this domain is from the Greek alphabet, and closely resembles the letter "i" in the English alphabet

The punycode (xn--rog.com) is nothing more than a conversion tool, and is not the domain name itself. When you type in á¼±.com in your browser , the IDN converter using the punycode allows the IDN to be displayed on an international level, regardless of the language!

try to put this in your address bar:
á¼±.com

Single letter IDN Domain Names have been completely sold out for YEARS, you simply can't register any in ANY language.
here are only a SMALL HANDFUL of 1 Character .com And there are only about 100 single character IDN Domain Names in existence!!!



?????????????????????????

 

Wat does this means the guy has posted a fake thread.. just to get attention ????

 

no it just means that it doesn't even worth that 150$

 

hello

can you point to where you get those stats?

there were 4 or 5 sales of one letter IDN domains at Ebay. all of them were registered *this month*.

i do not think that they were drop and caught by drop catch companies because they are all registered at Dynadot and with only one year renew (that is, they wren't cacth by Snapnames and the likes and then transfer to dynadot AFAIK)

also, the 100 single character IDN domains is for real? i see a bunch of scripts/charset on Unicode with lots of symbols and "letters". only in the cyrilic charset there are some dozens.

sorry if i am making any confusing here. maybe i'm looking to the current unicode (5.1) and the unicode currently supported on the net by IDNA is 3.1 (??)

hi, the man that have bought the domain in auction now dont want pay... so the domain is mine
I open this thread to ask only if is a good deal sell it for 150$ or the value of the domain is more... I want relist it on ebay to sell it...
if you check the who.is for the domain (xn--rog.com) you can see that the email of the owen is mine (soldoni@...)

So.. I repeat: Do you think that sell it for 150$ is a good deal for me or not??
thanks

 

hey Guys,

He is just faking

I am not sure why he started this thread. Maybe to get some attention or to try to scam someone. I am not sure of the case

 

I think that you not read good LOL
I write it in big size:
the domain that I have is "á¼±.com"
and NOT "i.com"
LOL
please read all the posts before say sh*t like this
thanks

 

Oh sorry for the mix up then. Too many scams running around these days.
BTW it redirects to this domain
http://xn--rog.com/

 

because that is the real name (punycode)

 

There is a small problem here, not the punycode is the real name, between Uber and Über, Über with "Ü" (punycode - xn--ber-goa) is the real one and Uber is just a typo, even if it is older. Punycode is only used for english browsers unable to understand non-ascii characters common in other language.

 

let's see:

* xn--nbe.com ("similar" to W.com), sold for US $162.50 (did not confirm if it has changed hands but it seems so looking at the Update Date on Whois):

* xn--8na.com ("similar" to I.com. Latin), didn't sold because of reserve not met (BIN US $175.00):

* xn--iza.com ("similar" to J.com. Greek), sold for US $202.50 (changed hands):

* (yours) xn--rog.com ("similar" to i.com. Greek), not sold for US $150.00

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200374763748&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123


in all auctions one is told about that there is no single letters available to register but these were all registered this month, including yours...

also, one is told that there are very few letters (100?) but i don't see how can this be taking into account the number of languages suppported on Unicode/IDNA.

this is like saying that all 4 letters.COM were registered on Nov07 but forgetting the fact that they are droping like flies and available for reg fee (even if for a few minutes/hours).

so, for the current market conditions one can assume that the time for selling this kind of domains is not the best one...


ignoring this, the question "is this value good/fair or not" does not have a straight answer in any market. it dependes from who's buying and from who's selling; the need to sell or to buy; the rarity of the asset; the market conditions; etc, etc.

for me, one letter/symbol IDN domains will grow on value year after year because they are scarse and the shortest posible. this is an intrinsic characteristic of these domains that don't go away like other metrics that one can put to evaluate a domain.

wraping all this, $150-$250 for single letter domains that are not the most used letters in a language seems a good value in current times imho.

i think however that they will go up in the next years but in the IDN market there are aditional risks that there aren't on "normal" domains. for instance, no one can say that the guys that manage the IDN don't decide in the future to stop resolving domains with single letters. notice that in .ORG no one can register anymore domains with 2 (US-ASCII) letters but the ones that exist are still valid and can be used for sites.

why don't you try ask in another forum like www.idnforums.com where there can be professionals on the matter?
