Is anyone buying IDNs anymore?

[NameYourself]

anyone??

Of course!
But I am also dropping all crap that I had a lot and keeping only the best domains;
Also the criteria has changed a lot during this 15 years
I still have domains from 2001-2003 but also some great ones from latest drops;
I am also starting developing finally some domains.
Parking is showing signs of revival lately but imho keeping domains just for parking does not make sense anymore (at least for me).

I still own IDN's.
But I dropped 100's when Verisign did not roll out all of the idn/idn com's and net's at the same time.
Now, my portfolio is vast majority ASCII.
I changed strategy in European , to drop all IDN's and keep ASCII's.
Sadly, two word domains, but highly searched and millions of results.

I really thought IDN.cn and IDN.com in Chinese would take off after the Olympics in Beijing in 2008, when all government sites created idn.cn or idn.gov.cn of their sites.

Sadly, I missed the 4L and 4N Chinese domainer mania of the last 3 years.

In my opinion, the sweet spot in ASCII is to sell 2 and 3 word domains for low $X,XXX .

Hunting for the $XX,XXX has become 10x more difficult.
Parking is dismal.
my 2 cents.
