domain fb.pics - appraisal

rtist · Jan 22, 2017

Please Appraise my new domain

I acquired the domain a couple minutes ago (literly)
Market: Social media (any picture associated application)
Research: don't know much about appraising domain names.
No value in mind. Yet.
Not owned for enough days to determine if there's traffic.
Age: less than a day

additional information: Facebook paid 8.5million to acquire

obviously, i don't intend to get anywhere close to that but just
thought i'd point it out.

Facebook had a reason to buy fb.com, why did you bought that domain?
It may be considered a TM violation.

This is not even close to a TM Violation please look up the definition for a TM Violation.
Why? because I could and I can. (was that a serious question?)

This might be of good help to you.

I could buy facebook.com (if i had the money

lol ) and even if it was a TM Violation i'd still own it.
that's like buying a honda car and saying i'm violating honda's trademark.

New to the game?

Doesn't work that way, my friend. Your domain is a direct infringement on Facebook's TM.

Could you explain to me how it's a violation of facebook?
fb can literally stand for a boat-load of things so could you specifically tell me how this a violates of anyone's trademark.

BTW i'm liking your pic

maya-zir · Jan 22, 2017

fb could be whatever not just facebook.
there is no TM violation

slader23 · Jan 22, 2017

Not a tm violation but a very speculative purchase. If Facebook wanted the name, they'd already be in possession of it. Please spend time in the domain beginners section to learn what to look for and about what sells.

rtist · Jan 22, 2017

I just wanted an appraisal and instead I got a bunch of lawyers lol... Thanks guys.. appreciate it.

Reg fee until .Pics develops a liquid market for 1L,2L and 3L names. It's all about emd hacks in new gs bro, take some time to research....going with your gut without a set strategy for finding
names is nothing but trouble,trust me I was just like you when I started.

LMFAO I was thinking the same

pjb1978 · Jan 23, 2017

Fair enough, but let me ask you this... how valuable do you think a domain that was used to house 'Football Pics' would be? Where is the commercial value?

Not to mention that parking this domain wouldn't be an option for you.

Not meaning to bust on you here, but I can only think of one or two .pics domains that might have some sort of commercial value, and those are related to porn.

rtist · Jan 23, 2017

Why wouldn't parking this domain be an option for me? I'm more than willing to "Park" it for as long as I wish even if I have to Pay for the parking.

as far as commercial value goes. Check this out http://domainindex.com/domains/football.pics
but that's an automated evaluation. so here you go:
https://sedo.com/search/?keyword=.pics&language=us&rel=4#

check the # of bids and the prices.
pot.pics would be nice.. care to share what domains you're thinking of?

I can build a site from scratch on them if you like me too

If you park the domain, you cant guarantee facebook related content wont be shown. If it is shown, you'd struggle to keep the domain in a udrp case. Same if you put fb content on it.

Check namebio.com for historic sales of the .pics extension HERE

It's not a bad domain in my opinion, but it would be wise to stay away from the facebook side of things..

pjb1978 · Jan 23, 2017

If you park it, don't you think the parking company will automatically display Facebook ads? I'm not sure about this one, but I'd definitely double check before you park it.

When people see FB, they will automatically think of FB. Good luck overcoming that and finding some sort of commercial use for your name.

I wish you the best with it though. Unless you can find something creative to do with it that doesn't involve Facebook, I see zero value.

Thanks! and I mean I could see this domain being similar to http://imgur.com/ or http://tinypic.com/
I can actually code the entire site myself or install a clonescript but i'm not fund of spending all that time.. at least not yet..(especially if i have to advertise it) I see what you mean about the parking. I'll probably just let it sit for a while. What I mean is I won't park it just pay for it to be registered to me unless someone want's to buy it off me.

pjb1978 · Jan 23, 2017

I'm still not clear on the angle you are taking with this one. You are going to set up an imgur or tinypic clone to do what.. post football pics?

You talking bout the price for renewing the domain? I'm not to sure. It's paid for, for 2 years already.

Just go to your domain manager or invoice and check what it says under "Renewal".

17.99/yr for renewal.

If the domain is developed as a social network website, Facebook can sue you for creating confusion. Is it worth the time and money to deal with Facebook lawyers?
And to the rest of users who are playing smart, the only reason fb is a popular two letter combination is only because Facebook.
Undeveloped the domain is OK, the way it is developed may cause problems....
