Sushi.com in Japanese

Here are two variants on the word sushi - in Japanese:

鮓.com
鮨.com

Are there any native Japanese speakers who might be able to tell us what the difference is?

I see that there is also another word for sushi - 寿司 - in Japanese, so what's the difference here, and what are the current values of the three?

Patrick did post before, but it was under his other account "Associated Cities".

Re: Sushi.com in Japanese

Good catch Ross. Yes, I got into IDNs in 2005, gathered a handful of decent names - mostly Japanese.com. I have not taken the time to research their value, or dig into the portfolio, but am much more interested now. I have always been bullish on IDNs, and appreciate the hand-holding as I get back up to speed.

What range would you put the current value of these two domains at now, in 5 years, and why?

Thanks again for the help!

Re: Sushi.com in Japanese

Is there any value with the other two variants? What current valuation would you put on them?

This is absolutely NOT valuation. But, I wouldn't mind buying 鮨.com for $30.

On the other hand, I'd mind spending even $3 for 鮓.com.

So far, Japanese doesn't get much type-in. So, if you base value on revenue, then it's low. If you base value on speculation, then you ask 10 different people and get 11 different answers!

Re: Sushi.com in Japanese

寿司 is the only way that sushi is written in kanji with any regularity.

The others aren't worth registering.
