Registration cost.

Registration cost.

You are seriously undervaluing them. You can check how many results they have on google, anyway techcrunch is pretty popular it web blog.

I agree - i would value them at registration cost as well.

Results 1 - 10 of about 25,400 for ineuro. (0.14 seconds)

That's not much, and the phrase doesn't make sense.
This is one of those brandable type of domains that is a long shot at best.

techcrunch.com is a popular blog, techcunch.eu is not and on top of that, this domain could get you in legal troubles.
Techcrunch.com's lawyers in the past have sent out C&D (Cease and Desist) letters to other domain holders that only had the word "Crunch" in them.

I'm not a .eu pessimist and i have a bunch of .eu domains as well and i can give you my honest opinion.

The domains aren't worth anything more then you where willing to pay for them and i don't see a chance of these domains finding it's way to a end user/reseller.

That's not much???, and the phrase doesn't make sense???

Anyway TechCrunch appears not to be trademarked (http://www.uspto.gov)

No problem :tu:

That is correct the phrase doesn't make sense in placing a commercial value on the domain.
Google results gives you an idea of references being pulled from their massive database.

And i emphasize on references - it does not mean potential would be buyers.
Doing a search with only quotes doesn't as well give you an indication of intended usage, meaning that the page that comes up with the results is created for, in this case "in euro" - it's in this case just a usage of words with no intend.

When you would search for example: "credit cards" a ton of the majority of results come up with intend.
The intend of the pages that come up is to give information or opportunity to apply for a credit card, in most cases the information is a gateway to the application process.

Within those results are a lot of would be buyers if you would own the domain creditcards.com

This does not apply to "in euro"

If a "insert keyword here" Google search returns a number of results, a high number of results, it does not mean it makes sense by definition...as you think this might be the case.

Anyway TechCrunch appears not to be trademarked (http://www.uspto.gov)

Because you could not find anything in the USPTO database does not mean there can not be a trademark.
A trademark does not necessarily has to be listed in the USPTO database.

Like i said it wouldn't be the first time that a
TM Issue has arrived over the TechCrunch.com domain.

Edit: Above as it seems was when reading it again once more not a actual TM case in the works, it was a discussion on what kind of chances there where on TM issues on the domain PopCrunch.com
Nevertheless, if i recall correctly there where some issues with other domains.


To reinforce my statement about that a trademark does not necessarily have to be found in the USPTO database to be enforced listen to domain expert lawyer
John BerryHill in this video where he clearly states that a trademark does not have to be listed in the USPTO database to be valid.

You have to accept it that the two domains you have put up for appraisal where only worth something to you in either development or resale value.

Is ineuro.eu doomed to never see a sale?
It's HIGHLY unlikely it will sell but in this industry you would be amazed what sometimes sells and for how much.

Techcrunch.eu is a problematic TM domain.

Stay a while on this forum and you'll pick up on a lot of things but you have to accept defeat when it stares you in the face.
You thought you had some great domains but they're not.

Now it's time to move on!

[Damion]

Nah, nothing impressive there, glad i could be of help

 

[arekw]

i checked another relevant with techcrunch websites:

techcrunch.net - parked on sedo

techcrunch.org - in private hands

techcrunch.biz - the same

techcrunch.pl - the same

techcrunch.tv - the same


any comments? these guys risk too much? or its not a threat.....

 

[Damion]

These guys could all receive a nice letter from a lawyer one day.

My best advice to you is to focus solely on generic domains.

TechCrunch is a made up combination and not generic and even though it will not be right away, but once you're on someone's radar things can get very ugly for you.

And even with generic words you need to be careful in some cases how you use the domain, because you may park it and then you display competitive advertisements which can bring negative consequences for you as well, the domain could be taken away from you.

Read this forum section and you'll get a better understanding on what to avoid when you're hunting domains.

Experienced members such as Labrocca and DNQuest and even John Berryhill and others that don't come to mind right now share their thoughts in this section and you'll get a better understanding on domain matters.
