    Take a moment to start a thread in the "Legal issues" section ... and be sure not to offer it "For sale" until doing so. IMHO.
    Good Luck.

    There's a trademark for Polo, but Polo Shirts might be ok. The two problems I see is it's a .net, and the domain name is very specific, so you can only do a couple of things with it.

    A) Sell Polo Shirts
    B) Set up an auction site for others to sell their old Polo Shirts

    I agree, the value is not much unless you are going to develop it.

    Aren't polo shirts like T-shirts but with a small split and a couple of buttons at the top? In other words, aren't they a very common, generic item of clothing?

    Why would there be a TM problem?

    Absolutely right, Edwin.

    "Poloshirt" is as generic as can be.

    Just the fact that there are TM's on the word "polo" doesn't make "poloshirt" less generic.
    Otherwise you'd have a problem with appletree.com and such

    As for value:

    Didn't grab this for resale reasons but developing in the first place.
    With 10k+ searches for the term i think it's great for affiliate or ppc plus SEO.
    Resale is not everything....

    hi beatz

    small seo tip - poloshirts and polo shirts is not the same for search engines.

    overture:

    poloshirts = 222

    so polo-shirts would be much better.

    Not true really.

    Mostly, because the domain although a factor, is not the main factor but content and links.

    Second, as far as google goes, the algorithm changes all the time.

    I believe that this "hyphen is better for SEO" is a myth nowadays and not true anymore with most engines.Not saying a hyphen name would have worse or better chances than without, just saying it's not such of a factor anymore.

    One hint: The ovt suggestion tool in most cases shows you the searches for the term *with* a space in it even if you entered a term *without* one.

    In fact, the only time it shows searches without space is when the term has enough searches as one word on its own as well.

    There is a lot that could be said about SEO and diff people have diff experiences/opinions..

    Overture is over-rated but "polo shirts" is a generic term.

    Also, check out this application for a tm, it's hilarious http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?r...entry=78180697

    I don't see a trademark problem. It has nothing to do with "Polo" Polo Shirts is a style, not a brand.
    Never had a problem with my polo-shirts.com!
    I was chasing that domain during the same drop - nice catch

    As a man who knows his nets, I'd be looking for no less than US$600.

    Good Luck
