    Orkutforums is a good domain but it can just go around in a Trademark hassle, so not too great. Other than the hassle the domain itself is worth low to mid $xxx

    can be into legal issue if its used for business.
    ive recently noticed google related domains being banned from parking.
    it might happen in future, im not too sure on valuations now for trademark related domains

    Hmm, TM issues, not the best name anyway, I think you would be very lucky to get $xxx for it TBH. Unless a TM name has traffic, people are currently very reluctant to buy them. Mid $xx for me I'm afraid.

    i know about orkut.com my friend and in case you didint know my great grand father's grand dad was nic named orkut and my two sites are dedicated to him www.orkutforums.com and orkut-site.com and my mates used to call me orkut when i was in school and orkut.com didint exist at that time they stole my publicity and everything by registering orkut.com and i would sue them for using my famous name for business purposes

    I dont mind if google offers me a 75% share of the profits for using my name but once i get rich i will sue them if this doesnt happen :)

    They took it first and maybe you dont have a real proof that you were even named Orkut :p

    But anyways, I wish you good with the domain, but be careful mate
