Back in December I sold a trademarked domain between $2500-$3000 and apparently got away with it scot-free.
It contained one of the following names in it: yahoo, google, twitter, amazon. Then the second word went great with the name.
(I don't want people to know exactly what it was.)
The buyer offered me through GoDaddy's domain buy service and we eventually agreed on the $2.5-$3k price.
I hand-regged it mid 2013 for just $1.17. So I was really happy with this sale at the time. But now I know about trademarked domain issues and don't know what to think.
If the powerhouse brand comes to the buyer and tries to take it, will I be involved with this at all? Would I have to possibly return the money?
Now that I think about it I am amazed that GoDaddy even allowed this transaction. If you saw this domain you would have no doubt that it is trademarked.
Oh, and the guy is already developing it and it really looks like he trying to come off as the actual brand. It's exactly the type of site that the powerhouse will come after.
I would like to hear what some other domainers think about this..
