Received bid on "My Space" name...

[Domainate.com]

I received a bid on My Space*cc (no spaces) on Afternic this morning. The bid's for a nice amount, $995. The name gets about 15 uniques a day of type-in traffic and while it doesn't make much in PPC, the traffic would be nice for a My Space related site. Question is, with the TM implications, should I risk possibly losing the transaction by putting it in a Closing Soon auction or should I take the money and run? I've seen Google names make it through Closing Soon into Sold, but I imagine there've been times when TM names get noticed by the TMer and snatched up. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Imo i would take the money and run, definate tm issues and you would have made a nice profit on it, better to take a nice profit than risk losing it for nothing.

Thanks

i would take the money and run on a tm like that

Avoid the Trademark issues, run away with $1000!

I agree with every one here and would also 'take the money and run'
It's a nice offer anyway.

Thanks everyone...I decided to take it. If MS wasn't trademarked, I bet I could have gotten more for the name, but I'll take what I can get considering the TM. Thanks again!
