Sumo.com sells for $ 150,000 at SEDO

Sale went down yesterday at SEDO. That would be a nice generic to have as Japanese IDN.com or .jp.
Any guesses at to what the Japanese IDN.com might be worth someday?

knowing that cowboys.com was passed or missed by the football team at

250 k or 275 K.... then it would seem that

sumo as an IDN dot com or dot JP is going to be at $300,000 immediately for
the Sumo association in Japan or one of the sumo magazines or one of the TV networks...... with that method..

so I would put the current seller value at 500 K right now as a reserve on the auction sites ....

sumo in Japanese must have 100x more search than the english....

an additional comp. would be if futbol dot com, even was a transaction.....

I am sure that some ASCII domainers would say the IDN can't possibly be more than the ASCII.....ever....
a 'sumo' or an other sports or culture term is a good candidate as any...

So what would you say about the .net? 10% of the .com?

Nice one Rhys, how does Pride Fighting Championships (MMA) does versus Sumo in Japan. When you see it on TV the
Tokyo Dome is absolutely packed. More and more Japanese fighters are making their way over the WEC and UFC.
