Nice to see Sedo are now making it known it is an IDN - Take a look at the offer page, you would need a magnifing glass to tell the difference ! :tri:

Details: Domain Name without content.
Important Notice: This is a Multi-Lingual (IDN) Domain

I bet a few people are going to end up buying names like this by mistake :'( - What is the point of names like this, and who allowed it to happen ?

Damn D-: There loads of them on there...

While I think this auction is BS and is clearly an attempt to trick people who don't have 20/20 vision, IDNs can serve a real purpose. Sedo is complicit in this deception and they should ID the names on the main auction list, not only after clicking the item.

Curious to know what trickery was used to get the accent mark to point to the left towards the downstroke of the top of the letter "f" to blend in perfectly when the accent mark typically goes to right. I noticed this earlier in the week and posted it on another forum. First fish, then wine, now fix. Wish, dish, and more are surely to follow.

I would not dare to call this IDN. It is not even a typo. This is a purposely created and fabricated domain with one intent and that is to deceive.

Not sure what purpose Sedo hopes to achieve with this. Fish was a huge bust and a flop for sedo as the winner refused to pay. I would imagine wine just last week also went sour.

Money, plain and simple.

Vísa.com was picked up for a couple of hundred bucks. I'm sorry, but there is no way the winning bidder thought he was getting visa.com for this amount of money, end user or not.

I think the cold reality here is that "SOME" of these domains do indeed have value, regardless of what they end up being used for. "SOME" being the keyword.
