Facebook.co.il - Bad negotiation leads to losing the domain...

[Kamikaze]

An Israeli (lawyer, I might add), regged that name.
He asked for $10k straight forward,
FB offered $3k and he counter with $8k...
At the end, he got nothing - just a law suit, LMAO!!

Here's the full decision.

Ouch. As a lawyer he should know better

Why do people get greedy?? If you hand reg a name for reg fee and someone offers you thousands, why on earth would you want to ask for more lol ??

GRREEED

I am surprised they offered anything at the beginning other than law suit. May be just yanking his chain...

Probably they were just setting up a trap trying to gather proof
(registered the domain to resell for profit) for legal proceeding.

They might of just paid $3K just to get rid of nuisance.

...I dunno how much it costs to file a UDRP. Might have just wanted to save time and offer it to the attorney. That would be a more cost-effective route. Didn't pan out so away they go to court...

Dumb greedy "Lawyer".
Fb offered around the same as a three panelits wipo would costs. guarantied win for them anyway.
Greedy dumb "Lawyer" thought Marc Zuckerberg is his friend and he can do whatever he wants since both are jewish or what?
