Insure.asia sold at $25,000

1. Which “new regulation on .CN domains” are you referring to?

2. Al the elements of domain valuation you listed are useful. However, probably the most important key element of domain valuation is “comparable sales” (very similar to real estate).
There is a long track record of .COM aftermarket sales, so it is much easier to determine a “fair value” for .COM domains.
The problem with .ASIA is that as of today there appear to be virtually no aftermarket sales.
I have tried to make that point in previous posts.
“Oliver” has made several claims in earlier posts that he knows of aftermarket sales. The problem is that this guy can not produce any verifiable data, so I consider his claims not credible.

Only if we can collect some hard data on actual .ASIA aftermarket sales will we be able to get a better feel for .ASIA values.

So if anyone has any information on actual .ASIA aftermarket sales (must include the domain, the price, and where it was sold), that information would be greatly appreciated !!!

Shouldnt we rank the value of the .asia based on:

1.the length of the domain
2.how it sounds (rhymes with Asia)
3.whether the domain is related to the asian region or not
4.SEO value (for example if Keyword.COM is parked, the .asia version may have more value)

if you can think of more please add to the list.

Generally speaking, I think most of us paid more than what we should but hope the future proves otherwise.

thanks for giving your honest opinion on .asia.

I paid a few thousand dollars for two premium domains and hope the value goes up. Do you think the new regulation on .CN domains will increase the value of .asia?
