Last week, Flippa announced that you can now negotiate on ANY unsold auction, not just the auctions you were bidding on. This had a big impact in Flippa sales this week, with over $40,000 worth of domains closing after the auctions had ended.
Flippa’s biggest sale of the year (back in April) was privatized per the request of the buyer; so as the official second-biggest sale of 2014 is Weights.com weighing-in at $36,500 — a property sold by brokerage firm Ejtel Consulting (who also sold Chisel.com back in April).

Kawaii is a typo of Kauai or Hawaii, so I don’t see high value there.
Kawaii means cute in Japanese. Japanese love cute stuff – this is huge domain 😀
Show me one Japanese domain broker and one Japanese domain buyer in 2014 sales and then I will believe you that Japanese may like to buy some .com name. They live in their .jp space, they are isolated for some reason…
A lot of countries are “isolated” as you say. In many counties the ccTLD is king.
In Greece for example. I once started negotiating to sell a .com to a greek guy and I ended up selling the same .gr.
People always prefer the .gr here.
How about Whatever.GR.com – have you seen anyone in Greece to use them?
Not ever. Very few are using .com.gr that is a second level cctld.
What about Japan cities new GTLDs Nagoya, Tokyo, Kyoto, Yokohama & Osaka will they make any difference and its worth to invest on this new domains or .jp stands preferred extension for Japanese ……… any guesses guys
Hard to predict. It would be interesting to see stats of CentralNIC registrations for JP.net and JPN.com (yah! weird 3-letter .com), assuming a majority of such registrations are from Japanese companies and citizens.
I got couple of .nagoya domains as follows
– Auto.nagoya
– Autos.nagoya
– Trade.nagoya
