and got very excited, and was like gonna place the bid...

but got very suspicious of the low price for such a premium name,
and upon further investigation, it was an "L"

nearly got tricked. lol

Yes, Sedo publishes the domain name in both upper case and lower case on the auction detail page that the bidder must visit in order to bid. All 7 bidders entered their bid a few inches below the bold font name: LNSURER.COM. Sedo could add upper case names to the upstream list page, that's a tradeoff between clean page design and helping customers read correctly.

Not to sound harsh but I agree with this. If the bidders don't take the 2 seconds it takes to make sure that they are bidding on the right domain then it's their own fault when they pay $xxx for a domain worth <reg fee.

So the rule is: Be 100% sure you are bidding on what you want before you get it. While the person / people selling the domains are IMO doing something a little unethical, they are the ones laughing all the way to the bank.
