I've heard of them. I've even tried to buy a couple of domains through
them. It didn't work out, but not because of anything they did, but
because I refused to give large amounts of money to sleazy domain 
squatters.

I suspect the procedure is for you to hand over the domain to Sedo, and
they hand it over to the final client once the payment is done.

It's possible that the procedure could be different if the domain in
question is very expensive, I wouldn't know.
