Complete+bounded homeomorphic to incomplete+unbounded
I'm aware that completeness and (total) boundedness are not preserved under homeomorphism, with $(0,1) cong mathbb R$ being a counterexample to both simultaneously. I'm curious if there exists a "double counterexample" in another way:
Are there homeomorphic metric spaces $M$ and $N$ such that
$M$ is both complete and bounded,
but $N$ is neither complete nor bounded?
Of course in that case, $M$ could not be totally bounded, else it would be compact, which is certainly a topological property!

You could let $M$ be $mathbb R$ with the metric $d(x,y)=min(1,|x-y|)$ and $N$ be $(0,infty)$ with the usual metric.
Thanks! Do you mind if I include this example in my metric topology notes? I would credit you and link here.

Yes. Let $M$ be $mathbb N$ with the discrete metric, and let $N= {1/n:nin mathbb N}cup {2,3,4,dots}$ with the usual $mathbb R$ metric.
