Buzz Lightyear maybe. I don't think it's "beyond" the realms of possibility.I doubt Captain Kirk would ever allow "and beyond" to be in the individual reach of just one entity
Could the purchasers have pursued a UDRP for this name? Could you argue the "and beyond" suffix is to similar to the Bed Bath and Beyond brand or were the intellectual rights not part of the asset sale?
This is the only thing that’s relevant in these types of situations.
Same with sales like TheDeeply and Galatea. You might have a “better” name but it’s not relevant to *this* buyer.
Your $215k pales in comparison to the ~35 years and hundreds of millions in advertising spent to establish the “and beyond” brand.
I don't disagree. But there is a buyer like this for every single domain out there. So you are you going to price all your domains at 6 figures waiting for that needle in the haystack? The reality is - one cannot identify properly in advance a name like this that sells for $250k. yes, the seller did in this instance. I surely wouldn't have. Perhaps that's why he's a great seller making 6 figure sales while my sales barely scrape by and get me 4 figures. You and I seem to see the world differently. You've responded to my threads in multiple posts 6-7 times now and argued the counterpoint on each one. Good thing we're not discussing politicsThis is the only thing that’s relevant in these types of situations.

Rofl, you mean the andbeyond brand that went bankrupt?

They overspent. Baby.io is much less!
I don’t do wholesale, that’s a need for folks that sell junk.It wasn't a wholesale buy @Keith.
Your argument might make sense if we were talking wholesale buy, but end users have different needs/requirements than domainers.
Remember when Overstock was once O.co: (2011) https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/why-oco-didn-t-work-overstockcom-12790511
One could theorize Baby.xyz, Baby.Store, or Baby.ai would make better brands than Baby.io, so why is Baby.io better for a BedBathBeyond rebrand than Baby.AnyOtherTLD? Baby input, baby output?
And (considering this is a Bed Bath and Beyond rebrand), Is "baby" more important to the brand as "and beyond"?
Why would Overstock want to brand the new BedBathAndBeyond brand name on anything other than .com?
