    you say you plan to buy it and anounce here on DP?

    i think when you buy it, it will be already bought by someone else. lol

    you should speak only after you buy it :)

    If you're site has anything to do with what Namecheap do, then they might be able to sue. If it's something completely random then it won't really matter.

    Unless it gets a lot of traffic already then it isnt worth anything more than its reg fee and a bit for the time/ effort of transfering ownership

    that's a good typo domain and you said your friend sold it to you at normal domain price? wow, that's a very good buy! just use it for good thing and no one will sue you. Hey, afaik, domain registration is one of high paying keywords on adsense.. :rolleyes:

    they cannot sue you since the name is just a typo.....are you planning to divert the traffic to namecheap using this domain...?
