I am afraid you may be having TM issues for this domain.
$low xx IMO

 

[cheeta]

Certainly me too feels that it may be a treadmark issue... otherwise me too feel low $ XX

 

[jmul7]

it can be interpreted as Hot Mail Services ... and with TM issues what can happen?

 

[alex_d]

Not even regfee.

No one would look at the name as being Hot Mail Services, no matter how hard you want them to.

If Microsoft come knocking, you better get rid of the name straight away.

Try and stay away from such obvious TM / Company names in the future.

I'm new to buying domains, so can you please clarify. If domains have copyright/tm issues, what happens? Am I obliged to give them the domain name free of charge?

If you own a trademarked domain, you may receive a C&D (cease and desist) notice from the owner of the trademark. This will usually request that you immediately forfeit the domain to them and threatens further legal action if you do not comply. They can sue you, file a UDRP, or I've seen some cases where the registrar steps in and actually just removes the domain from you. There is a lot of information here, I'd recommend doing some searching.

so far i guess the the value of your domain is around mid -$x,xxx

do you see the negative(-) sign before the dollar($)

that how much you need for a lawyer. so you better save up some money and get you a good lawyer

 

[vslevin]

Thanks, so I definitely won't be able to sell it on? or will i!?

No, you shouldn't. Aside from the TM issues, I wouldn't appraise it above what you paid for it anyway.

If your domain would cost you more to own than you'll ever make from it, then drop the domain. What you have isn't worth anything whatsoever, not even a penny. Let it drop/expire.

 

[jmul7]

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to cancel it

You seem to be new at this. Hey, we all make bad moves at first. Give it awhile and you'll learn the ropes of what to acquire and what to avoid
