I bidded £100 on this but i do not think this is a real auction. What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300251430281&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=020
It's not v.com, but v with a dot under it: ṿ.com I wonder which language is refer to that letter, 'cause I'm Vietnamese and there's no such letter in the alphabetical.
Was going to bid when I saw it was a Vietnamese letter... but after searching saw it was junk. Worthless, IMO. It was also just reg'd!!
obviously THE v.com domain is reserved for the moment, and when it will be for sale, it will sell in the millions
I thought it could have been interesting, but unfortunately with the dot under it I doubt many will have use for it
Most people wounldn't even be able to type it in the address bar! Bit of a chancer I think. Only got $212.50 anyway.
There's no way to type that letter in Vietnamese (v with a "dot" below it). On web browsers, it will be translated to www . xn--ojg . com Does it really worth ?
Research "unicode" and "punycode" aliases. I can explain it, but it seems 99% of the people don't understand this concept when they see "xn--..." As for this name... no... it isn't worth it. I wouldn't take it for $1.
well as you said 99% of people doesn't understand the concept.. then it means 99% people see's it as a nonsense domain...
I'm pretty much done with this thread, but there was just a recent group sale of over $1,000,000 for a handful of IDN domains and 1 for over $xxx,xxx (exact price has yet to be released to the public, but I did personally speak the the buyer). Granted they weren't junk like this and actual words, but using the term "IDN" doesn't mean a domain isn't worth anything. Try to get me a meaningful one in any of the major languages (Russian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, French) from 2000-2001 and I'll pretty much take care of you getting a brand new car. ______________________________________________ You live and learn;Ignorance is bliss .

Nah, I didn't call you ignorant... it's that I copied your quote when I was replying regarding them not being worth anything. I actually appreciate your knowledge of domains since I run into a lot of your comments on the board. I was referring to the moron who PMs me and tells me I know nothing for no apparent reason.
