Cheers,

Thanks for the info. Amazing commitment of $$$ for just one day.

You do wonder though how many people will fail to come through with the cash?

One I got direct thro a registrar for $700 had a high bid of $3,300 with SEDO so that's encouraging!

Yep, the big boys were out to lunch. It say says 1 and 2 char .de domains are "invalid". Totally useless....

Have you ever seen the first 100 lines of a .com zone file?

Sure, if you are talking about 1-10/a,b,c, etc none of those domains are owned by a registrar as far as I know.

So does Sedo actually have anything to sell? There other problem is that the party they are potentially buying from know what they are flipping it for. There is also a marker in the marker for other potential buyers to use that might just Whois the owner.

It does look like most of the names were taken by those other then Sedo partners?- as you say- some nice ballpark references for sellers.

For what it's worth my dë.de is parked at Sedo. :lol:

dë?

there is no "ë" in the german alphabet

Really. :)

The German domainers picked up the ë , ëë, ÿÿ, ÿÿÿ etc- if it's good enough for them then----.

i am sure they will try to sell them

of course, i know how to type any unicode character
but no german has ever typed it
(except he speaks some exotic language)
and has no reason to type ALT+0255

As you seem to care, some more options:


"Ë, ë (e-umlaut or diaeresis) is a letter in the Albanian and Kashubian languages. This letter also appears in Afrikaans, Dutch, French, Abruzzese dialect, and Luxembourgish language as a variant of letter "e". The letter also appears in Turoyo and Taiwanese Hokkien when written in Latin script."

As you can see many people can simply type it from their keyboards.

no, i do not need more info about kashubian
i have google and wikipedia too

i only informed you that "ë" does not exist in german
and that "ÿ" is even more useless under .de

you can buy 1000 useless .de domains, i do not mind

i only wanted to help you
but obviously you are not interested
