HồChíMinh.com (xn--hchminh-9ya7999d.com)

What's the odds of a sale?

Bit disconcerting when they include these in the "live", spot the errors.

SurveillenceSystems.com

FamilyCalender.com

CarribeanReservations.com

I think HồChíMinh.com is an excellent domain name. I just couldn't understand why it was put up in the Geo auction last month, as it refers to an individual rather than a city (HồChíMinhCity.com or ThànhphốHồChíMinh.com would have been more appropriate). I believe all three of these are held by different members here. I wouldn't mind having any one of them in my Viet portfolio. If it doesn't sell, they can always auction it here with a very modest opening bid and low reserve.

This reminds me. I have thànhphốhànội.com and .net

Can someone verify that this is correct for me?

Yes, correct translation Rhys. Thành phố means "city of". It is the formal way to preface the names of Vietnamese cities. Well done!
