Is it just me or is something fishy going on?

Is it just me and my paranoia or is something fishy going on at the Afternic Bazaar? I'm seeing two-letter domains being sold for $600.

No way on this earth is anyone going to part with a two letter, alphabetic, single word, domain name for $600, surely?

interesting..

Chances are they are those IDN Domains, like what you see aint really what you get.

Interesting.
Could you give an example or link to one?

 

[M90]

Ah, I got it. They are special character domains. For example, în.com, ûp.com

If you read the description for easct domain that is on auction at the Bazaar it does CLEARLY state what these domains are, IDN. So there is nothing feeshy goin on. All legit. 8)

all those are idns, i have some up, not 2 letters though, they dont allow you to post your idn in the title, so you have to put in the domain as if it werent idn and in the description say its idn

Yeah, I get it now. I see when I look at the domain listing what the deal is. Thanks.
