    You wouldn't get more than $50 for a site with a ".im" extension and no site or backlinks

    Topix.net is a huge, popular, and established site that runs the reader forums for many newspapers. They had the .net and wanted the .com (.com is king) and were willing to pay for it. I doubt that they are interested in the .im or other extensions.

    You can try that and post it to famous domain selling websites too. Let them know that it can be taken anytime. Don't forget to post the result. Good Luck

    You'd better find a suitable place to see how much it is worth.Since we can give an evaluation on it,the real value
    is determined by those guys who want to buy it.Therefore,why not use that direct way if you really want to sell it?

    making tms (or fake tms ) to hijack the domain is reverse domain hijacking.

    examples of such morons includes nisssan cars (tried to get nissan.com) , Lufthansa (tried to get lh.com ) etc.

    Topix.net bought the .com because .com is better than .net.
    .IM is worse than .net
    There is no point in them buying it unless they wanted to start a separate website on the Isle of Man.
