Two registrars that have catch and auction authority for .cn (66.cn & ebname.cn) are now sending domains to their own auction houses and re-selling them. They are actually getting pretty decent prices!

Vague post; More information on what exactly IDNs are later. The above domains are (Chinese Characters).CN… if you do not have the Chinese/Asian font installed through Windows, they might show up as little boxes . Time to go to bed. Ridiculous day with the stock market… Planning on doing some major changes to the blog as well, so sign up for the Fka200.com RSS feed or keep checking back!
