DOOM

Not sure if there is any TM issues, but I have a feeling this one could be worth a lot... But once again, one never knows with these eBay auctions...

Getting close to the top of it's range...
Great site, TM issues only if the new owner causes them ("Doom" itself won't kill it).
Timely, and very good adsense revenue for essentially a parked page.

The domain has always been owned by id Software. I'm surprised the gave the domain name away since it's the best possible traffic generator to promote their popular video game series.

Doom.com is no TM issue as is. The owner of the domain just shouldn't sell video games or movies on the site.

This domain is possibly worth high five figures. It's a great traffic domain with a huge potential.

Great Auction

Will keep watching

Hmm, I wonder how the auction will end

Doom is a generic word. There is 100% nothing wrong with this auction.

Scratch that: It's against AdWords policy to discuss earned revenues (or am I mistaken?). Otherwise, I'd pay anything up to $50,000 for this - more so if the Adword stats are true.

You'd be overpaying. Part of the reason for the stats at the moment is that the movie is coming out. The movie will be a flop ( ) and the stats will drop, etc.

Doom could be used for just about anything I guess.

like DoomDomains ?

Maybe, But I wouldnt expect that to happen.

 

[scrsteven]

A short, memorable 4 letter word that is also the name of a massive game and a coming out movie... High XX,XXX at the minimum is my guess.

 

[flussie]

Maybe, But I wouldnt expect that to happen.

The budget of this movie is $70 million. If they would spend $100K on this domain name they would make an excellent deal IMHO. They could resell it later for about the same price.

 

[spy69]

True, they would probobbly be able to resell it for even more.

Really depends when it was registered. Still, as someone said earlier, it is a generic word

I don't see any real TM issues with it,A gem of a 4L.com ,Reserve still not met atm,Iam guessing the reserve is 40K or a little under.Will be interesting to see the end of the auction.The name is already over it's high end value imo.

 

[Archangel]

I said UP TO. I wouldn't pay anything close to $10k for a domain unless I really needed it.

[kslup_k]

there is nothing wrong with the domain..

that name is very very cool!

my estimate is it wil go up to 21K GBP.
which is around 48K USD....

that is expensive...

Well but this could be an interesting domain for speculators. If you could buy the domain for $50K, optimize it and earn a steady $2K per month from it, and resell it for perhaps > $100K in a few years you can say you've made a good investment.

I guess however it will reach > $70K today.

It ended at US $29,904.52 and the reserve was not met... That is a lot of $$$
