Trillion yen business... 塾.com (cram school)

[Edwin]

What do you think of the following...?

OT: 34,609
Top bid: Y261

"Tokyo families spend an average of 365,000 yen (nearly 2,000 GBP) a year on cram school fees for a high-school aged child."

http://www.indiana.edu/~japan/headlines-archive.htm
"Fearing that public schools are failing their children and despite high fees, many Japanese parents are sending their children to juku ("cram" schools), in hopes that their children will gain admittance to the best private schools, and later, the best universities. The juku business has grown into a 10 trillion yen (about $90 billion) business. "

A long article about the background to "juku" or "cram schools"

By the way, I'm willing to listen to very solid, serious offers too - please make such offers privately via email or PM.

Unfortunately Edwin,
This is the type of domain that I believe most of the members can't see the value.
There are a few systems here that I can't exactly explain....

Great domain...

Only someone who cant read wouldnt be able to see the value in this domain...
You dont give most on this forum any credit. Surely they (we) cant all be morons.

Top dollar domain, worth a percentage of the turnover of this industry, however small it is big $$$

Olney, I like a lot of people on this forum appreciate everything you have done in the IDN arena, but at the same time, you do like to make everyone else feel small and insignificant sometimes.

for what it's worth Edwin.. nice name. what sort of range were you looking for?

Solid 5-figures now, much more later. There are 10s of thousands of cram schools, and they all have to advertise at some point

Sorry guys I'll fess up I should have chosen words carefully.
Actually I didn't read his documentation before posting...
Edwin certainly has a better approach to me... Documentation for the Japanese industries... I personally never thought of that even thought I keeps seeing you guys do it...

Apologies...
Edwin has thrown out some winners lately & it doesn't seem like the quality is going down a bit...

Um... Overture, Google Results, Bid Tool. That's how it's done correct? Unless there is some third world possibility that I'm missing here.
