My First Domain Auction

[GarfieldP]

Hello!:wave:

I had bought the domains Garfield.TV and Garfield.BIZ and have had them at auction at Flippa.com. It seemed like the right place to go for selling domains, the problem is, I haven't had a single offer even though I have had Garfield.TV appraised for $2500+. 8-X I guess I am surprised that they haven't at least got some bids.

Now, that being said, I also wonder if within the next week when the auction ends, possibly more bids may come in.

Love to hear your thoughts!:gl:

Garfield is trademarked, that's probably the problem you're facing.

Exactly. These domains are really risky for anyone taking them because of trademark risks. I would drop them as .biz or .tv aren't really meant for fansites which would be your main real way to use them.

Yeah people are hesitant to buy any names with trademarks in them. As there's a possibility for the owner of it to get sued and lose the domain.

Doesn't always happen. But it is indeed possible.
