[Cooldomainideas]

So let's say there is a company called 123BigBurger and I was to buy that domain name,contact that business and then sell to them. Would that be kinda wierd/unethical? I kinda already know the answer I just want confirmation.

No. Never. That is not only unethical, but generally constitutes TM infringement, which can get you into deep trouble. Not a lawyer here, but any experienced domain investor will tell you so...

If you register the exact name of a company because they didn't have the knowledge sufficient to acquire that domain before opening for business is, IMO, wrong. However, if you already own a domain that someone chooses to name their business, is different.
