He explained to me the intricacies of the Chinese domain market, and the fact that many Chinese domainers don&#8217;t speak a stitch of English.<\/p>\n<p>Having received inquiries for some of my short or numeric domains in the past from Chinese investors, they seem willing to put an effort in using English, either by making a personal attempt or by using online translators. The Chinese language can be translated very accurately to English, using Google Translate, unlike Greek, for example.<\/p>\n<p>To those inquiries I respond whenever there are indications of genuine potential. If there is no activity after the second exchange, I bid them farewell.<\/p>\n<p>The type of inquiries that I don&#8217;t respond to, are the monosyllabic or single word &#8216;questions&#8217; that offer no insight about any sales potential.<\/p>\n<p>When someone isn&#8217;t bothered to ask anything other than &#8220;Price?&#8221; or &#8220;Sell?&#8221; then I am not bothered to reply either.
