Ever have second thoughts about a hand reg?

[adinfinite]

I recently regged "nybikeshare/com" after i did a Google news search and found that there was a lot of buzz about the upcoming bikeshare program in New York city. So i figured when it eventually rolls around there will be people who will just type it in their browser ( already had a few type ins)and even searches for the term will probably spike. The problem is that even if the traffic picks up when the progran rolls out, the CPC is only 5cents. Furthermore I am thinking that maybe the people operating the program will come after the name in a UDRP or something. Simple question: what would you do?

if the domain appears in hindsight to be more worries than its worth - you could contact the formentioned bikeshare organizers explaining you didnt realize it was a project allready in the pipeline, and offer it to them for free.

if they dont want it, they may say it's OK to do what you wish with it.
best regards.

Or if you cant sell it to the bikeshare organizers, if that bike program becomes well known you can try that someone makes a bid (for example at SEDO) of $60 and you send it to auction...
