          google returns a heap of results in Chinese, but from what I can gather it is China's biggest online store. Like a Chinese version of Amazon.

            Got a link to a news story? I can't really figure out what's so special about this site that would warrant such a price.

              Amazon to Purchase Chinese Retailer Joyo.com

              Amazon.com agreed to buy Joyo.com which is China?s largest online retailer of books, music and videos. The agreed purchase will be at $75 million for Amazon to enter the world?s second largest populated Internet market.

              Amazon will pay $72 million in cash and assume employee stock options to buy Joyo. The purchase, which will give Amazon its sixth international entity, follows suit in China as competitors such as Yahoo, eBay, and Google have been heavily investing in the Chinese market by acquisitions.

                              Below is a somewhat related article from The Economist. It has some interesting facts and statistics about another player in that space, dangdang.com, who was processing 4k orders a day at the time.

                                                Entry into the market I guess. If that's what it takes to get in $75 million is a steal.

                                                Spend you some brain.

                                                              I have seen this domain in the alexa top 500 list.

                                                              i know they have mega_traffic.
