    Hi,

    you think can be success to resell a popular domain name (like google) but with other termination ? i dont want to make millionaire profits, in an example if i pay $10 for the domain, if i can get $100 i'm really happy :D

    Regards,
    Shadow.

    If the domain is a trademark you will not make anything, they have all the rights for all domains : ... Why people don't use ebay.sr , google.gr for their sites ? because is a trademark.

    The company owning the trade mark will just pay you a registration fee and you will not be able to make anything out of it...If you demand more money, you will be dragged to court....for infringing on their trade mark.

    It is not easy as you think....to make money reselling domain names...:eek:

    Good names have already been picked and they are already sold at very high prices.
    Hope you have heard of....Early bird catches the fish!! Same is the case here..;)

    Remember registering paypal.net or google.org.uk is ILLEGAL, and both companies will do everything they can to get the domain back. They will not compensate you for it.

    Yes..do not even think about monetizing on someone else's trademarked or copyrighted name..its just not worth it..also, even if you're crazy enough to buy such domain, it will be a problem when it comes to selling it..
