BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- A sale of Chinese Internet domain names netted more than $160,000 on Friday in what organizers said was the biggest such auction yet in the computer-crazy country.

A pair of sites named for ultra-mobile personal computing (umpc.cn and umpc.com.cn), one of the hottest technologies around, fetched an eye-popping 390,000 yuan ($49,000).

Generic domain names including art.com.cn and book.com.cn sold well above their reserve prices, while caipiao.com -- "caipiao" means lottery ticket in Chinese -- fetched 37,000 yuan.

"I think today was a definite step forward in this market," said Ranger Wang, who organized the auction in a Beijing hotel and was the seller of the "umpc" names.

The prices fetched were far from the giddy sums that change hands in the West. Five of the 12 names up for auction failed to attract a bid. But Wang said the sale total of 1.3 million yuan was, as far as he knew, a record for China.

"Before this, domain name auctions were very small affairs and were never really successful," Wang told Reuters after the auction, beads of sweat still on his brow.

"I haven't had a chance to really do the maths, but I think today's result was quite satisfying," he said.

Not entirely satisfying. "I take it the technology is a bit outdated now?" the auctioneer quipped as his pleas for a bid for dvd.com.cn fell on deaf ears.
