I mean he is definetly garunteed his investment back 100% if you use youre skill and knowledge of the Jap market..... I would fear of loss him and tell him that you are experienced in this field and you will go else where for fianaincing if need be... as long as it doesnt come across to harsh..... my 2 cents
there is not secret in my marketing, i just reach the stores that have crappy .com names and sell them a semi good IDN .jp

the point of discussion with my friend is how far this second market will go? he was saying that if someone register a not so good IDN .jp odds are he wont ever sell it on secondary market. different what it did happen with bad .com, or as he think it will happen as well with bad .cn, dont forget they have 1.1 billion more people than japan. so if someone register now lets say an IDN chinashoes.cn bestshoesofchina.cn to sell it on secondary market at the end odds are, that even when it is not shoes.cn, someone eventually might take it. Why someone would pay $XXXXX for a bad japanese IDN when the market is so small?

the advantage of japan is that people can afford to buy interesting IDNs in good money, while for most chinese stores or citizens sums like $9.000 dollars that i use to sell my IDN is a lot of money. In Tokyo, u can reach any corner store selling an IDN in one million yen or $9.000 and if they are interested for them that isnt a big sum at all, it is very cheap in fact for the purpose u buy it. With japanese IDNs is easier to get good money if u sell them, but there is a reduced limit to the people you can reach. dont forget that most companies in japan tend to be big as very few individuals can afford to start a business and pay the ultra expensive tokyo office rent fees.

i guess there will be a short period of great interest to get good japanese IDN .jp for companies, but then the secondary market will vanish more and more. In other markets, the secondary market will be high for good or bad IDN because they are huge or because one single IDN .com, u have the advantage that u can reach many countries as it is the case of arab, russian or spanish .com IDNs . A japanese IDN .com is again only good for one country, japan.
