Not an IDN. But it's just the matter of time before the difference between IDNs and ASCII is gone in the Latin market.

Brings a lot of smiles to those holding premium spanish domains. Juegos.com for 10MM USD seem like a bargain.

It would seem that this is a business and a brand that is being sold rather than a domain.

This Juegos.com deal if it's really done deal, is not sold on domain, but SEO wizardry - if you look at the traffic hike somewhere in 2004/2005.

A parking page with an Alexa 4000, how much do you think it earns a day? $10,000?

True. That's why a premium domain + development = premium $$$.

All three, in fact.

Third largest travel agency in Spain, if I read it correct.

Would be interesting to learn how the accountants split up the asset valuation between domain, business, and brand.
