I think the kid sold himself short. I mean the folks representing FB didn't make him an offer of $700....they asked him HOW MUCH he would be willing to sell it for....he replied back asking for $700

Chances are if he asked for like $7500 they would have probably still taken it without batting an eyelid...

 

[rokaska7]

heh. Seen this case in one facebook group. The seller was quite afraid to sell it.

Why are we discussing this? Zuckerberg buys lots of things. Let's discuss tomatoes next.

Because this is a domain forum not a fruit/ veggie forum perhaps?

Why would someone register the daughter's name of a Billionaire? Such people bring bad publicity for domainers.

most people cant differentiate between domainers and domain squatters.
imo,they sees us as apples...and only a few knows the difference between a good apple and a bad apple.

Bravo student! A good move and Excellent transaction. I think he's on the right way. It's Ok!

Due to the mistake in the article, both MaximeChanZuckerberg.com and MaximeChanZuckerberg.org were registered today after it was published.

Serves them right, registering the name of a famous person's baby is not cool.

Totally agree.

Simple. $700 is less than a UDRP and Mark gets to feel like he helped someone in Indian improve their life.

But the dot com is owned by a dude in USA. Better to wait for him to screw up, than to pay money to a bad American capitalist.

But the most likely answer is Org=Charity = Wants son to have a giving website in future so Org more important to Mark.

No worry about full name org charity scams from india

What language?

He generalizes America and India a little. Not sure what you're upset about - America comes off worse..... step and be an equal rights defender.
Never understand country pride - it's all an accident of birth anyway.

@Gobinath What language are you referring to?

This guy is exploiting someone's child, this moron has no integrity whatsoever. If you think this is "great business", you are no better yourself...

Very disappointing to see a cybersquatter is getting media coverage like this and I also get a feeling that most media in India seem to applaud this type of behavior. It reflects poorly on everyone in our industry.

I'm not sure if I read it right. It said it was settled for that amount; and they have received the funds. So, if they werent satisfied why are they accepted the money in the first place. Now they want to come back and ask for more? I hope not; the case was over and done deal! Move on greedy people!!
