Bought DwightFreeney.com

[sampa ash]

Hi There,

Bought DwightFreeney.com from auction. Now one agency contacted me that He needs to get this domain back into his hands.

What should I do?

Well, I think there is a moral issue, and you need to decide how it can be used to make money.

Legally, I believe that there was a ruling that if a person allows a name to drop, then it indicates a lack of interest. You would need to determine if it was allowed to drop, or if it was stolen.

Dress as a quarterback and request an in person meeting.

Never dropped, maybe the previous owner sold the domain.
@sampa ash If the owner or the the acting agency sold the domain name, then you can sell it legally.

Before any interaction with this agency who contacted you, maybe you should ask a copy of their LIVE agency contract with Dwight Freeney, (photo certified by Dwight).

Please keep in mind this domain have a long history from 2003:

and it changed a lot of agencies, you can check the timeline:

I would highly doubt the validity of that claim, judging by how much it's been transferred. Dwight Freeney probably has no idea and couldn't care less, and if he finds out, he'll probably pitch in to help you on the development side

 

[sampa ash]

the agency contacted me by some one from nclusive.com by
Lindsey N. Waterhouse
Senior Vice President, Public Relations

So what will be my next course of action?

They want the domain name, it is a dream of all domainer.

Do your homework:
http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/atlanta-falcons/dwight-freeney-5013/cash-earnings/

They have money - the client and the agency - , and probably they want to make more money with the domain name. You can start high the price negotiation with a mid or low xx.xxx offer.

When you have the deal, sell the domain via escrow, fill out their form as seller.

What stops them filing a udrp, how will you defend yourself?

 

[JudgeMind]

If they want to take legal action it's going to cost them $4000... try to sell it to them for $2750 and ask for a couple pieces of signed memorabilia to be delivered to you

 

[creataweb]

His account is closed... probably doesn't matter at this point lol.
