I would strongly advise against that. You should not part domains that have potential TM issues. Make no attempt to profit from them, and just let them drop.

I Meant I have 43 domains similar to other companies like I have Two for GM.

Shouldn't I put a for sale page?? I mean if the GM Guys contact me.. I will give it to them or just ask for the domain worth money or a lil more.. but if they don't just in case someone is interested.. I will sell it to them.

Comments?

You shouldn't show that you are trying to profit off of a trademarked name.

Honestly, I doubt that GM would find or even want your domain, but if they did come across it somehow, you could be in trouble. You definitely wouldn't get any money at all.

Why do you think that GM (or anybody else for that matter) would want it? Its long, it doesn't make sense, and they certainly have no use for it. But if they found it, their lawyers would have it within minutes.

Any why did you register 43 trademarked domains?

Guys,

Thanks for all the replies.. I really appreciate it. I was thinking to sell it for some $2000 and I thought such a big company would never put that down. That is the reason I thought of contacting them.$2000 is nothing to those people.

I think u r expecting toomuch. 2000 is a lot for that domain which is tooo long. At the max its worth $15-20 sorry to be harsh

Domains are not a get rich quick scheme.
Back in 1995 you could have regged single keywords .com that would sell for neat amounts today. Not anymore.
You've got to be more creative, do more research or be prepared to invest in aftermarket domains.

I see that your domain was regged with godaddy one month ago. You could have requested a deletion of your domain for credit (if you do it within the first 5 days). Now it's too late.
I would let this name die.

Consider this a lesson. Avoid long domains and stay clear of TM issues.

Try and hold that excitement back a bit a start to read more before you waste all your money, this is a good place to start www.namenewbie.com - It gives you a good idea of the basics.

Trade Marks can be a complicated issue - Basically until you learn more about them don't even think about registering any domains at all that are to do with another companies name - like google, yahoo, ford, honda, Rolex ...etc

Happy reading, you've come to the right place to learn
