    Ok. Let's start bidding. If you are willing to share reserve price please do.

    Thank you.

    Wait. You mislead potential buyers.

    The actual domain is hxxp://russiasochi2014[dot]notlong[dot]com/ and you redirect it to domain you showed and anchor text.

    Please erase my bid.

    The actual domain is Russia Sochi 2014 dot com.

    I just use shortener (notlong.com) so the actual domain will not
    be indexed by search engines.

    You are bidding on actual domain Russia Sochi 2014 dot com.

    Reserve price is very low.

    It sounds a bit fishy that you understand the potential but are still willing to be parted from it for a few bucks. Why not just wait it out?

    It will be more valuable in 2012 but I can't wait. I am between
    wall and brick and need some money asap.

    Good for you if you can wait until 2012 or 2013 and cash in big
    time just like the related domain sale above.

    I'm actually selling it for at least $700 but I just testing the BIN
    price. I can increase the BIN anytime during the auction.

    This is Russia Sochi 2014. I don't think it's a trademark and the use of it doesn't violet anything.

    Unless, you are not authorizing any sponsoring arrangements and license agreements relating
    to the Olympic you are not violating any trademark issue.

    If you are using the domain for general info, parking or selling affiliate products you are not violating
    any trademark.

    Take note the following very popular websites below that have used the Exact Trademark "FACEBOOK"
    in their domains:

    http://www.AllFaceBook.com
    http://www.InsideFaceBook.com


    The above websites has over 180,000 visitors a month according to Compete and they were Earning
    Millions of Ads but Facebook allowed them to operate as such.

    It is how you use the domain that will dictate if it violates trademark. There were also many obscure
    domains out there that sell counterfeit products and that expressly violate trademarks.

    I don't think someone will spend $45,000 for a domain that contained the trademark "Olympic" for the
    related sale below if the he/she just intend to use the domain in general manner and not violate trademark.

    Related Domain Sale:

    Olympic-Games-London2012 dot com - Sold for $45,000 at Flippa 2 Years Before the 2012 Olympic
    Games. Click here to view the public auction.

    I don't have any problem with the domain. All bids were final. If you intend to use the domain for illegal
    activities such as counterfeit products or act as an unauthorized licensing with the Olympic then don't bid.

    This domain is good for offering Travel, Hotel, Flights and Vacations to Russia or Sochi. It is good also
    for providing general information about Russia or Sochi, game scores and updates of Olympic games.

    This domain has Huge Earning Potential if you intend to use it properly and not to infringe trademark or
    not to sell counterfeit or not to offer unauthorized licensing with Olympic Games.

    i thought this combenations of words were much more generic than that, and you portraited it as such also. to decide on what you said i'll have to be a tradmarking expert which i'm not, too me it's sound too much like a violation and a risky buisness. i asked you in a private email directly if there are any trademarking issues and you failed to mention that. to me it's a concelment of data and inhonest behaviour. i'm not intersted any more in this auction. sorry if i troubled you.

    this was his exact words judge for yourselves:

    > are there any trademarking issus?

    - None. The domain name is a combination of Country and Place name - Russia and Sochi which is general in nature.

    Sorry, you are against the rules of DP. You secretly asking me the reserve price
    outside the auction and email me many times over. See his email below:

    "RE: hi, is this domain for sale?
    Sunday, April 3, 2011 10:26 AM
    From: "natan" <xxxxxx64@gmail.com>
    To: "'Richard'" <xxxxxfo@yahoo.com>

    Can you tall me if your reserved is below or above 100$?

    And thank you for your replies. I'll consider bidding some more."

    After you have known the reserve price, you then outbid others and bid repeatedly
    4 times to get to the reserve price.

    Your post is only 6 and you are just Peon. I should not entertain you for doing
    transaction with me but I'm so kind.

    I don't have any clue about this trademark issue and you then sabotage the
    auction. All bids were final and you should follow DP rules or get banned and
    receive negative itrader rating.

    All well said. Thank you.

    Wow you are realy deasperate to sell this domain and even for the reserved price after all your big talk about its worth, i guess it ain't even worth 5$.

    i must say you seems more and more like a very sneaky menpulative bastered. if you didn't won't me to know the reserved price you shouldn't have told it to me so readly and every other user who asked you (if someone is violating something and sholud be banned it's you). but i guess you chose to omit that part of your answer to my question.

    here it is guys:

    > Can you tall me if your reserved is below or above 100$?

    The reserve is between above and below. It's $100 :)

    However, you are the 3rd person that just ask me the reserve and I already told them.

    I think the first one will BIN it now. He will get the domain at BIN unless I will change my mind and raise the BIN to $700.


    yes my repeted bids were made just to check if the reserved price is what you said it is or maybe lower than that. and i was honest on my intentions of buying it. my repeted email were becouse i am a novice in this area and had alot of simple questions. all my bids were made (accept the first one) only after your replies and based upon them. i find it very hard to belive you didn't know anything about this trademarkting issue like you claim now, and even if so i thinks it's your responsiblity to know the information about what you selling or at least answer honstly and say "i don't now you should check it out" insted of "none" which was your replay.

    i told you about what i found well a head in advance before the closing of the bid and told you to delete them, i didn't sabotage anything. even not deleting them my bid was the reserved. if some had wanted to buy it he could have made so easliy.

    this user had also made further attempts to rush me into buying this domain at lower price then the BIN in an unfair way to others, this was a few moments after i made my bids:

    Richard

    P.S. There's still 9 hours left for the auction and the last hour will be intense. There were some who have showed interest to outbid you or will BIN in the last hour.

    If you raise your bid now to $150 I will stop the auction immediately and mark it sold asap and don't wait for others:



    i also found repeated attapmts to sell this domain in earlier dates, one of which is from a user named: seocracker which was banned (march 14, 2011, maybe it's you?). i would caution users to do a thourgh background check if anyone entertain the thought of buying it in the future.

    your tactics aren't reputable. and i thinks it's pretty clear to anyone reading it.

    btw you were right the last hour was realy steamy intense LOL

    p.s

    didn't wanted to go into any of that but you pretty much made me

    Don't blame us for your stupidity.

    You are right - "it's your responsibility to know the information"!

    You should not bid first. Instead you should check out and do your research before
    bidding.

    You are bidding like a kid and now you back out. You should read DP rules that
    all bids were final and once you hit the reserve you are bound with the terms.

    Sorry, I must end this nonsense dealing with a Peon. You better read more
    about the terms in this forum before transacting any business.

    Anyway, this auction is close and I must complete the iTrader rating.
