Celebrity Domain Names

[sammy1531]

Hi,

i would like to know if anyone registered or sold any celebrity domain names. I just won at an auction , I checked on valuate.com which comes out to be $xx,xxx having Google Adwords of 1,000,000 global searches.

I read some articles about the issues of registering celebs domain names. what should I do, sell it or gift it for free ?

Best Regards.

Here is an article I wrote over a year ago that highlights wins and losses in the Celebrity Domain Game.

Dear equity78,

Thanks for the link and details. But I am still thinking what should I do now. Should I send a mail/contact the celeb n gift it for free ?

What would you do in such situation ?
