So now perhaps we will see claims get paid. The buyer is from China.

He did say a few years back that he turned down a $1m offer from somebody to buy DNF.com in 2011.

I doubt it for sold for that amount now.

very unlikely. but was he referring to the domain or the domain and/or the forum?

dnf.com is not a seven figure domain name.

 

[Constantin S]

I think is at least a low xxx.xxx.

i think it is at best low 6 figures.

It was including the forum, yes. I see that only DNF.com has sold-not the forum.

And that only makes the forum worth even less.

 

[domeen]

only domain dnf.com

Probably somethere between 50K-100K

according to archive.org dnf.com had been redirecting to the full DNF domain name for years..

the site is still branding itself as DNF.com though.

The buyer is a friend of mine. He obviously doesn't want to reveal the sale price, but I can tell you it happened through a sedo broker and that the guy has a serious budget so I am very confident it was a 6 figures sale.

 

[daj]

Will he sell DCG.com too?

The next news will be: "NamePros has acquired DNF"

If a trademark holder sells a domain name with that trademark, what implications will it have?

Ideally that would've been fleshed out in the sale. That particular mark won't be around long anyway.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion any buyer of the forum would want to maintain the trademark.

DNF tm I am talking about I don't think Adam had a tm on DNF.

I just checked Trademarkia.ca, and DNF.COM is a registered trademark in Canada. There is no related trademark on "DNF" per se that I can see. A couple that have been abandoned.
