Hi, guys and gals. I'm a newbie on the site, so bear with me. As to this thread, I realize we are all 21st Century paperless office oriented people. That said, let me suggest something. After you have done your due diligence, e.g., no trademark infringement, and you think you have a super name, why not draft a nice letter to the information officer of the corporation you are targeting giving them the name and your firm price. Tell them how much a benefit the name could be to them. Inform them that if the offer is not accepted, you will place it on the open market at auction. In a courteous manner, give them a deadline about your selling off inventory and wait for their reply. Then, if the target(s) will not buy it, place it at auction. It's worth the .41 stamp to get the higher price. WEBGLUE
