There are plenty of quality IDN domains to be had and registered. There is a market for them. Not sure if there is a market for contrived words.
I would really love to hear the rest of your sedo thriller...

oh cybertonic! where are you when we need you-
The Bids For Kids Charity Domain Auction is happening right now! Only until Oct. 3rd:

1,000,000% agreed.
NYdomainer - you are either very young or very immature. Understand, just because you have got it wrong doesnt mean that you have to get upset.
You HAVE to check it with "quotation" marks around the word to get the accurate google score.
Try to google "Restaurants" versus your "Réstaurants" and see the difference!
"Restaurants" = 239,000,000
"Réstaurants" = 891
Sorry, your version is not much of a used term with that accent.
The word Restaurant originated from French in the first place, so I'm guessing they know how to spell it:
restaurant 1827, from Fr. restaurant "a restaurant" (said to have been used in Paris c.1765 by Boulanger), originally "food that restores," noun use of prp. of restaurer "to restore or refresh," from O.Fr. restorer (see restore). Restaurateur is 1796, from Fr. restaurateur, agent noun from restaurer "to restore," on model of L.L. restaurator "restorer."
A Michelin star is regarded as one of the highest awards that a restaurant can receive - here's the French Michelin site and, note the spelling of "Restaurants" and "Hôtel":

You might as well be trying to argue that Ûnïtèd Stātês òf Āmêrĩčå is French.

I am here SmashFactory.
In french "Restaurant" spells "Restaurant".
This is why even if you give me the domain I do not accept it.
I did not respond before because I seen so many peers that already correctly responded.
In fact I do not know if it's a joke, a "popcorn", a cheat attempt, ...
...
Domaining.com --- It's about making money with domain names.
