.Asia auctions don’t give much promise for resale values.

If you invested in English-language .asia domain names, you probably haven’t seen much of a return on your investment. Five .asia auctions that closed at Sedo today didn’t add up to much:

RealEstate.asia $6,000
Credit.asia $4,250
Single.asia $770
Wireless.asia $1,750
MP3.asia $655

.Asia currently has about 215,000 domain names registered, according to HosterStats.com. Although it represents a region, it is not a country code top level domain name like .eu. .Eu has about 3 million domain names registered, although the aftermarket for that extension hasn’t taken off either.

Although many of these sales happened during a different economic environment and many are for ccTLDs, here are some comparisons in different TLDs, according to NameBio:

RealEstate
.pk $9,000
.mobi $85,000
.net $300,000
.at $1,497

Credit
.info $36,000
.fr $850,000
.mobi $10,600

Single
.by $296
.es $43,337

Wireless
.io $250

MP3
none
