I owned it a while back but man did I skrew up. I bought it through godaddy and I was so siked. I contacted godaddy and asked them if they wanted it from me. I figured hell they will make an offer and ill accept almost any. Well, that didnt happen. They flat out removed it from my account.

*What would have happened if I used register instead then contacted them?

Yes we are banning together to stop him from registering it, and giving him information that could protect him from a potential law suit, all so we can reg it for ourselves

Just do it man, when they come after you try to do a "Slutsof In Stagram" type thing, and report back here, it should be entertaining.

I buy 910godaddy right now am I a bad guy? Lol

It got little crazy in here eh?

To answer your question. no you aren't a bad guy. However you are misinformed about a lot of TM issues with domains.

If you did own 910godaddy, and registered it with GoDaddy, they would likely snatch it out of your account and possibly even close your account if there were any more violations. They can do these things under the registrar agreement you agree to when you buy a domain name.

You cannot register a domain with TM implications and expect to do the standard things people do to make domain sales. If I owned Pepsico.com I could not approach Pepsi with this 'great opportunity'. It is against the UDRP and you would lose the domain easily.

In 1999 there were cybersquatting laws enacted, however before that time it was truly the wild west.

Today if you register a domain that has possible TM implications you better do everything in your power to make sure you have legal legs to stand on. You cannot approach a TM owner with an opportunity to purchase a domain without demonstrating that you have fair use and registered the name in good faith. Even then, approaching a TM owner is risky.

Many many years ago c2005 I made a similar mistake where I registered an available name, offered to sell it to a party with TM, and then they sent a UDRP my way. I had no idea about the finer points of domaining, TM law or WIPO/UDRP processes at the time, so I pushed the domain to them and that was that. I did consult a lawyer friend about it, and I got bad advice; what can I say, lesson learned.

You guys are banning together against a common person chatting..... You dont know who your talking to and you dont know what ive accomplished.

Nobody is talking smack to you friend, the converse is actually true; you just got a heap of great advice.

Did you know that the hardest thing for a human being to do is to take advice from someone else? I personally found this to be true. I was like Kanye West for some time, can't tell me nothin!

It is a common occurrence when someone pops in, states their knowledge or belief, and they turn out to be misinformed or wrong. Just take it with a grain of salt, take the information here and do some research.

You will only help yourself in the long run.

I wish you continued success.

Atleast those 10$ domains are not TM's. and mostly people tend to buy those for flipping.

Read the fetured news.... inustrialheat.com
He bought a power companies name for 60 bucks and sold it for 22grand.... to them. He knew what he was doing. He bought their exact name. I didnt buy their exact name.

No disrespect , the featured article is exactly a contradiction of what you old timers are saying then. He beat a company to their own name. He was more blatant then what I did.
I mearly stumbled on to a 1800 number I liked. He took their exact name.

YOUR FEATURED ARTICLE IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. LMAOOOOOOOOOO

"Industrial Heat" still isn't even trademarked... GoDaddy IS Trademarked... HUGE difference... Without a TM they need to prove that it is a long existing trade name and even then it can be hard (I'm no lawyer so talk to one if you want more info). He bought it when they were first getting funding so it wasn't even an established trade name at that point. They were dumb for not trademarking before coming public with the name and paid for that mistake. What you did was blatant cybersquatting of a known Trademark and is what makes domainers look bad...

This turned out to be a pretty funny thread crazy how much back and forth happened. But in the end everyone else made valid points about trademark domains. You simply won't be able to get away with it and lucky they just simply removed it from your account instead of closing out and banning you all together. Pretty cool though how it was done 10 years ago. Wonder how many amazing names were still available back then.

I noticed you kept bringing up the Mikemann blog post about him selling the domain to the company. Well the difference is that company did not have a trademark on the name and they just felt they needed the domain. A good example is let's say 20 years ago you bought Google.com for some weird reason. Years later the company decides this is the best name for them, they want it so they pay you for it.

You got the domain before any type of company or trademark was establish. If you had that domain before Godaddy was establish it would be a different story.
