I caught a domain name, a hybrid combination, say nioFresh.com at dropcatch about a month ago. Then I listed it for $18XX at dan.com. Few days ago it got an offer of $100. Now the offer-maker has sent this message.
Personally I feel that I should let him know that being a first owner of a domain name does not give a right to own a domain forever. I mean we have annual domain renewals for a reason, right ?
Everyone knows, it is really hard to catch good names these days due to competition. I takes time, money and constant effort. If I keep giving away domains just because someone comes along and says hand it over because I registered it first, then all is wasted.
Whenever I put a backorder I hardly ever search for the history of a domain-name. TBH, there is hardly time to do so whilst chasing all the drops and expires. Also does not make sense to do the diligence all the names we backorder when we not sure will own it.
Few more points - I would be happy to let it go for high XXX to low XXXX. The offer maker is based in India and so am I.
I would like to know how you would handle this situation. Also I would like to know how trademarks work in India in relation to domains.
Please share your thoughts.

I represent nioFresh, the original and first owner the domain. It expired and could not be renewed on time due to technical issues. We request you to kindly hand over the domain and accept the offer that well and duly takes care of the expenses at your end.
