But so far, most of the terms i searched are available!

A lot is unregistered .. I would say .ws has more registered at this point in time!!

I picked up a few at the launch, some of which had been pre-ordered by others so pre-order didn't seen to much use on this occasion.

others, like .ws is a ccTLD

maybe a bit of a big difference in the resale market?

ascii.biz is a failure, would idn.biz fare better?

That's true, since the extension doesn't matter. What matters is ranking. But then, super top terms rank badly. Oh dear, so what now?

You took the Card! I'm left with Credit.

These are domains that I won't mind selling if an offer comes my way and I've deliberately tried to choose industries where I know there will be Japanese interest in the domain once the time comes to sell.

In the meantime, I'm going to put some .biz sites up and see what happens. Even if only a couple of these domains placed decently for a month before fading away, it will more than make up for what I have spent on .biz.
