I think $1k is the breaking point. Over such amount the other party is getting nervous and may go into polarization mode â than they will most likely spend more just to teach you the lesson (they want blood).
Below such amount it is harder for the lawyer to convince them it is worth to spend some more time, efforts and fees â but you have to make sure â they have to feel you are serious about the transfer and you are not playing any games with them.
You may offer some well established escrow service up-front with 50/50 option â it will give them some comfort.
Typical UDRP case fee (one panelist) cost $900-1300 to initiate, so everything over it goes to the lawyer.
Reassuming â if you are asking $10k â they will file case under UDRP for sure (minimum);
$1k â most likely not, but you have to behave and put down something sort of what you already wrote:
- You were not aware of associated issues
- You regged automatically in bulk by unsophisticated process
- You agree to transfer free of charge â just for the small compensation fee of XXX
- You are ready to start transfer immediately using escrow service of their choice
(you recommend escrow.com, Sedo, Moniker)
