I assume it`s an IDN and the seller is not saying it

 

[sibaong]

Another fake domain?

Off Course

Seller's description:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Very short domain name, 2 characters, mean something, very easy to remember, and off course very valuable

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


He is right. It's off course, that's for sure!!!

How can Sedo be idiotic enough to allow this sale?

http://registry.in/policies/

Domain length: .IN domain names may be between 3 and 63 characters in length.

People will bid thinking it's go.in when it's not

According to http://inregistry.net/ whois, the domain does not exist.

By now, I think Sedo's system should know the rules of each extension and block two character domains which obviously do not exist (as the registry has never allowed them to be registered), to be listed on Sedo..

.IN currently doesn't allow IDN registration, although there are plans to implement it in the future.

I reported the bad auction to Sedo. It's a shame.

Although there is at least 1 exception to the rule that .in names must be at least three letters long:

Nice spot. Time to go register some two-letter trademarks in India!

It now has 14 bids , come on Sedo your list of disasters increases

 

[earnbussi]

well it seems that domainers now a days dont do much research before investing!
such a waste!

 

[smashfactory]

how did it even get in his sedo account? i have a hard time getting names in if they arent even parked at sedo, and if i misspell, they reject it- if there is no such domain, how is it even listed in his account?

People who are bidding, should know better also. Don't bid on something you aren't sure of!

Sedo is aweful with letting names into your account. I own bestpornforfree.com and i by mistake entered bestfreeporn.com and it put it into my account. I dont own the name and it let me enter it and accepted the name. The sad thing is the program would not accept the name I actually owned. Not sure how or why it happened but it did.

Maybe the owner of bestfreeporn.com had their nameservers still pointed to Sedo? That's the only thing I can think of because if Nameservers aren't Sedo's, it doesn't allow you to add them to your account.
