    I recently purchased stylusforipad3.com and accessoriesforipad3.com hoping the new iPad will be called iPad 3.

    Assuming it is, what do you think these domains are worth? or does the trademark name strip them of their value?


    Thanks,


    Eric

    names are worthless. iPad is a trademark violation and the rumors right now are saying the new iPad will be called the iPadHD instead of the iPad 3

    I also purchased stylusforipadhd.com and accessoriesforipadhd.com to cover my bases.

    But isn't Apple in lawsuits right now in the US with a Chinese company over the trademark for iPad? So basically any domain name with a trademarked name is worthless? I read www.flipwebsites.com/buying-websites/ipadaccessories-com/ that said accessoriesforipad.com sold for $9,000 so I am just curios why it did? Was it just a fluke?

    Also, I found ipadaccessories.com and they seem to be doing alright as an affiliate. Would any of the domains I purchased be able to be put to use as an affiliate site?

    Thanks

    This domain targets very small audience. Ipad 3 will be go to history within few years with the new Ipad versions.
    For me reg fee only.

    Right - it's just a big risk. Any one that buys that name needs to be prepared to turn over the names to Apple at any time they request it.

    I had a friend that registered a bunch of Farmville names, and developed them. He started getting a bunch of traffic for people searching for Farmville cheats and tutorials. Then one day he got a letter from Zynga's lawyers demanding all of the names.
