domain e.toys

How would you guys value this domain?

Personally think it's a great domain for someone in the toy business.

Very nice name and IMO worth the renewal if necessary while trying to locate an end-user in that large and lucrative marketplace!

"etoys" was a major retail toy seller. Toys"R"Us bought their assets in 2009, including trademark, which is still active. The .COM forwards to their website.

I am not saying this is an obvious TM issue, but it is still a potential one.

Didn't they have an opportunity to buy it during the "sunrise" phase of .toys purchases? Not to say that negates the TM issue, but it seems as though they weren't interested or someone else registered it before they could and they haven't deemed it worthy to sue for ownership, possibly? If the TM issue is serious, perhaps an enduser would be a better choice, not a major corporation more concerned with possible TM complications. Since the sale of this domain will most likely be high it might be worth it to pay trademarkia or some other legal domain agent into the matter of TM risk.

Hmm...that is very good point..TOYS keyword seems like quite UDRP heavy

I would advise to study those cases. ToysRus seems to be quite active in UDPR but until now they were dealing with toysrus.* domains, which makes of course total sense because they were all obvious TM issues. E.toys is (for me) general term indicating eshop type selling of toys, but other people might have other interpretations.

etoys.com is owned by ToysRus.com - maybe they would be willing to make you an offer on this domain.

They own a trademark on eToys as well so depending on which UDRP panel you have a risk of the extension being considered part of the name.
That TM should be disclosed on any future sales also severely dents resale potential imho.

You'd have to be extremely risk seeking to consider setting up a site on e.Toys with that TM hanging out there.

Hard to get too excited as far as the big money, it would take more acceptance of the new gtlds (time) plus the TM hovering over it, plus biggest big dawg Toys R Us owning the dot com.

But obvious in it's appeal. Good Luck
