This seems to catch your attention on the surface fish.com
But "tucked away" on second page is the punycode www.xn--fsh-rma.com

This is a mixed script IDN. Sedo should put that right up front and have full disclosure IMO.
I will bet the bidder thinks he is getting the "real" fish.com as mixed script IDNs have no value.

SEDO needs to provide full disclosure on mixed script domains or better yet REFUSE to list them!
You try to list one of those here or any other reputable forum and experienced IDNers will pounce you.
Some forums have pretty much banned them from sales. They were a popular rip off item on EBAY too, but I think EBAY has finally caught on and is halting these sales after a few "winners" found out they got worthless junk.

You must know 'fish.com' would get more traffic than :
Unique Visitors per month*: 22

No doubt, but there is a bid up for $2500 for up for something not worth reg fee. :veryangry:

They really should mark it with an IDN label on the page.
