Trust me, it's just you.
The value of a typo will vary from one person to the next, depending on how well they can monetize it. Obviously, a typo like amazn.com is extremely easy to profit from - all the domain owner has to do is redirect the traffic to their amazon affiliate link code.
For European Lee's domain, which apparently is getting 2500 hits in less than 24 hours, it seems it might do well pointing to an Asian sponsor. Parking a domain like this with Sedo might not be a very good way to monetize the traffic for a number of reasons, most notably because you won't get credit for any pay per clicks from Asian traffic.
The person who knows best what the value of a typo domain is... is the owner of the domain. He sees the traffic, he sees how much money it makes (parked at one program vs. redirected to a sponsor vs. whatever he chooses to do with it). Of course, you have to weigh the value of the traffic vs. any potential TM issues (potential to have the name WIPOed from you, etc.) you might encounter.
