The accents on top of the letter make it commercially worthless, unfortunately.
These accents are not in use any more. Even if they were, any single Greek letter with an accent is worthless.

agreed not a common use single character. Without the accent it would more value.
Any time you are looking at single characters, put the letter in quotation marks, if you return 1 million or more results, you generally have a winner. if you get 10 to 12k then, dont bother. Just a general rule.

What nonsense! Whoever tells you that a typeable single-letter .com (with accent) is worthless doesn't know what they are talking about.

If it is typeable then it has value, simple as that :-)

I'd have to agree with Yanni, a native Greek.

Maybe you missed the part where I mentioned that the accents on this letter are not in use in the Greek Language any more. Therefore, they ain't type-able.

Second, an accented Greek letter means nothing by itself unless it lies within a word.

Third, a Greek keyboard does not have accented letters on it [unlike Hungarian, Czech, etc]; you would need to add the accent to a letter with a separate stroke.

A typical example of someone spouting BS when in fact they actually know little or nothing about a particular language.

So valuable? Why haven't you made an offer for it?

When you know nothing about a particular subject it's probably wise to shut up rather than make a fool of yourself. But, I guess we all have to learn .. right?

Real Google Search Results:

dõt - 2,110
nĕt - 1,200
bĕt - 756
ȅȕ - 202
ġas - 167
ǟsk - 59
ùsa - 24,000
dõg - 4,660
bĭ - 11,400

I wouldn't take these domains for free. IDNs are valuable when they actually represent something in the language they are intended for.

For example:

ñigeria.com = WORTHLESS
España.com = PRICELESS ($xxx,xxx+)

Be wise when it comes to other languages! Go after meaningful domains that are actual words--like Русский.com. The higher quality words, the more $$$ they are worth... just like in "English" (or properly known as ASCII).
