The auction has already been running for 5 days with 2 days to go and it is the second highest priced auction they have running. For some reason they have domains like excitingwork.com in the featured live auction section with a bid of 60 euros yet the $20,000 bid on Toyotahybrid.com is not even on the front page. Lets be fair here, if everyone at sedo in Germany, America and the UK offices have not noticed the TM issue with this domain then god help us all.

No need to reply. Thanks again for your opinion.

Kind regards and best wishes

What part of the Sedo disclaimer didn't you understand? It's not up to them to dispute trademarks. If the trademark holder comes to them then they will remove the content. This is the same for several outlets of copyright material that I can think of (Youtube for example).

The fact of the matter is that you are squatting on this name. If the rightful owner wants to challenge you then you will most likely lose the domain, as would any potential buyer, making the domain worth $0 to anyone not willing to take such a risk. I'm not saying there aren't people out there prepared to do that, but in this venue most people are going to say $0.

You can sit there strongly disagreeing all you like, but that's how it is and any argument to the contrary is a waste of time.
