Meh, tx M but most of my names are 2nd level, I used to own a bunch of stuff like moscow.com back in 2003 but now all I have is late 2006 scraps.

It's still exciting though because I do own quite a few decent ones that would prob. be worth 1-5k compared to that sale.

Am I the only one who thinks that is WAY too cheap , particularly after Turkey at $10K?

I also think it was sold very cheap for this point in time.

As it was registered in 2003 someones $35 investment went to $16,000- not too shabby.

And I imagine they did not "only" register moscow.com back then.

Well, whoever he is, he's probably just funded renewals on all his other IDN's for another year or more, which means he can sit back and wait for the market to mature.

Is this a record breaking sale?

Nonetheless, i think it was sold too cheap, considering how much tokyo and moscow.net were sold for.

glow · #13 (**permalink**) 18th April 2007, 04:00 AM

As I remember this korean seller wanted $250k for москва.com

Olney · #14 (**permalink**) 18th April 2007, 04:03 AM

Times got hard, perhaps...

Well, they always say, buy on news (after IE7) and sell on rumor (before IE7).

So, now is the right time to buy.

Olney · #16 (**permalink**) 18th April 2007, 05:02 AM

There's a lot members with great Russian portfolios this will just increase interest...

Still I wonder who bought it, & what will they do with it later.

You're right, now is time to buy.

In the last 7 years, this is the first time IDN has cleared all obstacles in its path:

1. The core technology --- Puny Code works perfectly well.
2. The need for IDN is undisputable.
3. IDN does not cause any security or instability problem to the Root.
4. No any real tech difficulty in implementing IDN (including IDN.IDN).
5. All governments have come to the same conclusion: IDN is here to stay and prosper....

How much did moscow.net sell for? If I remember correctly the terms were never publicised

No you're not alone. I was negotiating with this guy and we were at around that number at one point but I bailed, let's just say the guy was rather unique to deal with. [cue Michael]

Was it $10k? I saw it recorded on Idntools.

I remembered that Turkey.com was a steal, especially when .com is popular extension for turkish sites (the cctld is .com.tr). It's a no-brainer buy. The seller got scrwed big time.
