Disney has the .net+.org and I have the .com ...

[wow!]

I have this domain .com for a while and
I noticed that Disney Enterprises having the .net and the .org

It is not a TM , only pure keywords.

What is the best way to try to sell them my domain.

Thanks

 

[wow!]

I wonder who'll eat the crocodiles?...
Maybe the Googlers...

...I would just keep it parked with sedo, if they need the domain they will get in contact with you! I probably wouldnt bother contacting them asking them if they want it, becuase you will probably end up loosing the name. Just make sure your WHOIS details are on show for them to contact you ...

100% correct! To avoid getting your ass handed to you (and your domain name handed to Disney or anyone else), absolutely follow these Top 5 vital rules:

1) Do NOT promote it as being for sale, either in an ad banner, forum message or on your website. (If they ever want it, they'll look it up - and contact you based on your Whois info.)

2) Do NOT make it seem like you're making big money off of the name. (Keep it looking like a harmless fansite, not a money-making goldmine.)

3) Do NOT forget to state (assuming you make a website out of it) that it is not authorized by them (so your site will not be branded as "confusingly similar").

4) Do NOT claim anything about them on that site which throws them into a negative light (so your site will not be branded as "defaming and/or otherwise harming the image of a company's trademark").

5) Do NOT provide links on that site which directs surfers to the company's competition (so your site will not be branded as "costing them valuable customer business" - ie another example of "weakening the mark").

I do agree, they will come to you. Just put up something "clean" and wait. I have a great way of doing this. PM if you would like to know how.

Can you share this here ?
Otherwise by PM if you wish

I think its virtually 100% he registered it first. Disney would have bene smart enough to register the .com if they had the opportunity.

I agree it's good to be on the safe side. If it were my domain, and I thought I might be able to sell it to Disney, I would put up a safe website, and make sure that any parking pages don't have links to any sites even remotely related to Disney.

 

[wow!]

Well this domain expired and I took it because of the keywords.
Just after that I found out that the .net and the .org belongs to Disney.
Someone was sleeping in Disney those days cause they regged the .net/org a month before the .com expired.

Ahhh, didn't even think about dropping names :p
