So I post a response that this is a scam, phishing domain, buyer beware. I did this because I am growing increasingly tired of these scammers.
A little later, I get a PM that says this:

Names like this have been popping up on Sedo, and it really gives IDNs (and domaining in general) a black eye.
I am used to forums where transparency in sales is valued, and where, if someone can point out a misleading sale, it is considered as helpful.
My hope is to educate, and I really hope that scam phishing sites like this will not be allowed for sale or promotion at Namepros.
I'm sorry if I upset the staff here, but I feel strongly about this. I am happy to work with Namepros staff to clarify or provide more info about these names...
Thanks,

Some people buy these as domains that just look "neat" as well - From what I've seen.

It seems that there is still a lot of confusion out there - and maybe an unwillingness to learn more, which is scary when it comes to places where people are spending hard-earned money daily, like Sedo and NP...
My 2 cents...
