Considering the main value of the term is TM related and the extension is not that great, I don't see much value.

Unless you are planning on developing a site selling/importing/exporting juicy red apples, I would let this domain drop for the main reason outlined above: TM with Apple.com.

You will need to develop. There are very few reported sales for that TLD, cause the local market is virtually nil. Therefore it is hard to quote a meaningful figure.

hmm, how can someone actually get a trademark for a fruit name?

I believe the trademark comes in based upon relation in commerce. Basically stay away from building a site in relation to computers, music, etc.

Its not so much the fruit name as it is the usage of the domain. Sort of tiptoeing through a minefield.

To be honest I don't think the name is worth the effort to develop.

1.) Obscure extension
2.) TM Issues

About the only use is a site about Apples which is not exactly a big money maker.

Apple, as in the fruit and you're gold.

Other than that, pretty worthless since you can't really go where the money is, good luck sir!

There are no TM issues with this domain.

Apple Corporation will never care about a .vg, just my guess.

Because it is a .vg it is worthless. I would drop it.

I made some of the same mistakes early on so I share your pain but nothing is better than honest opinions to help you grow.
