CelebrityName.com's - Will They Sell?

[redtophank]

Just wondering, I have the opportunity to pick up some pretty valuable celeb name .com's and .info's....wondering about trademark issues maybe? Or if it'd be fine, like as an info resource, gossip, etc?

I've seen celebname.com's sell, but you never know. Please send some advice my way.

Thanks!

You will definitely have a hard time trying to find buyers, since there will be trademark issues with the domain(s).

Does it make any difference if they're deceased?

Depends, some organizations still handle the name (as trademark)

If there are celeb names of substance available at this time and place, there's probably a good reason why. Your decision, but 'buyer beware!'

And if you want an example, look up the alter ego of Norma Jean Baker.
