If they pay even once and less then the fees it will show they are willing to pay. People will then start grabbing everything they can to make a quick buck. | |

This is really no different than going to an automobile manufacturing plant, stealing a car off their line and then asking them to buy it back from you.
The only difference at all is you're doing this virtually instead of physically. Yahoo created a brand that has goodwill. If you register their name, and more specifically, register their name and a product of theirs (!!!), you are really doing things in bad faith. | |

Wrong example. It would be like MANUFACTURE a car with their brandname on it and than offer it to sell
...and this is where we get our bad rep....
I can assure you, that most public does not dislike domainers for some TM typos, but for the fact they registered something for $7 and asking $20K for it. I am not telling, it is wrong, thats the business, but if people hate domainers, it is mostly because of the sitting on good names. Thats whereis the bad red comming from in the eyes of internet public... | |

Can i try to sell this domain to Yahoo? | And Yahoo people are probably on this forum - they got thousands of employees. Think they would let you announce to the world - Yahoo paid me $xxx for this domain!!!!
So, it's not about legal or not legal - it's all about energy wastage - assuming each day you spend 5 minutes thinking about and waiting for the offer from Yahoo over the next 1 year - then you would wasted 30 hrs of your life to earn -$8 (the reg fee).
On top of that, you can earn maybe $xxx or $xxxx over one year if you just spend 5 minutes everyday to find dropped domains that can be sold for money.
See the foolishness? | |

The crazy thing is there is seemingly a market for TM domains - see lots of such ads on DNF, Ebay, etc ... and the amounts some go for, especially at the drops is insane. Proves again that value is in the eye of the beholder ... and where's there is a demand, there's going to be a supply.
Personally, I steer clear of domains with obvious current / potential TM issues. I agree with touchring - there are better, more productive ways to earn money in this business than messing around with TM stuff.
