   I believe ‘yin hang’ means ‘bank’ in Mandarin Chinese.

   300k for a .com word in chinese doesn’t surprises me much. more mind blowing is 14,5k for type2diabetes.net.

   sinks.org went to $2,500 on 2011-03-25 on NameJet but didn’t hit reserve.
   then on 2011-05-09 it went to $2,409 on NameJet and again did not hit reserve.
   then on 2011-10-04 it went to $2,300 on NameJet and again did not hit reserve.
   then on 2011-12-06 it went to $870 on NameJet and again did not hit reserve.
   then on 2012-02-06 it went to $1,010 on NameJet and again did not hit reserve.
   then on 2012-04-03 it went to $910 on NameJet and again did not hit reserve.

   and i did not get to the auction listings end…

   bottom line: have good relations with auction houses so that you may unload your domains

   Yes, “yinhang” is the pinyin (Chinese phonetic alphabet) exact mandarin translation of “bank”, I even checked it in my Oxford Chinese dictionary. Alan.co’s comment is correct.

   @Michael:

   It seems there is something wrong about the ccTLD list.
   Look at the top. What is the price of dating.co?
   12.000GBP or 30.000USD
   What does the price 30.000USD belong to?
   Maybe the prices should move one line down?

   The biggest dumps of .Whatevers for losses are ahead, Trade up to .COMs while you can.
