৪৪৪.com sold for $8,203 USD, chì.com & mìng.com alredy passed $1,050 USD and ৪.net passed $500 USD. These IDN´s sell like hotcakes thank´s to your marketing.
Would you accept a gratification for your work ???

HA, HA, HA ..."

I wonder if they got paid yet as whois seems to be the same as before?

That figures.
I remember back in the day when they thought IDN could only be in German!

Well Asfas1000's post clearly shows they are aware of these names.

Well Asfas1000's post clearly shows they are aware of these names.

He has referenced links from featured domains etc. it's very different when it comes to actual auctions.

Sedo have been aware of these types of names for years but they simply have not cared if buyers got caught by them.

Now they don't even indicate they are IDN on the bidding page and the home page auction section,that's why so many people get caught.

But it appears that most "buyers" are not paying when it comes to the crunch when they find out what they have bought. Rightly so.

And Sedo continue to say there is a market for them!

Show attachment 11251 The latest one, no indication from Sedo that this is an IDN, genuine or otherwise.

Finally got it!

 

[tommiko]

I got a notification from Sedo.de today that they fixed the IDN auction issue.

Just for the record. I have now closed the blog.

I feel I have done my bit over the last few years with regard to these crappy names.

Scammers will come and go, maybe someone else will take up the cause?
