closed Hi Folks ... any thoughts

[izoot]

Just picked up....

cars-drivers.com

Thanks for the time

Unfortunately I don't see much value here. Domains with hyphen are hard to sell. Better to use for yourself and maybe SO. The s in cars takes down the value a lot more. I would say reg fee and maybe a bit more if you are lucky.

Good luck!!

Possible use could be a site for cars AND drivers ie a race car type of information site.

This could add to the value of the name.


Lats...

 

I can see what lats means, but still seems unlikely you'll get any bites at good money on this one.

 

Cars minus Drivers = Cars without Drivers
Auto Pilot or Collectibles, am I over creative?
Ask Americar, he knows what cars are made of
Good Luck!

Thanks folks.

Wasn't really looking for big money or to sell it right now. Picked it up for redirecting to affiliate, probably auto insurance.

Looked like it might be alright to get some traffic...overture results were decent.

Thanks for taking the time to give me your thoughts.

I just added...

carsanddrivers.com

Yes there is a magazine by that name.

I didn't reg the names with any intent to hold them hostage. I'm not going to start a competing magazine

I wanted to use them (names) for affiliate traffic (if I can get any going on them),
and if they decide that there is a conflict I'm not gonna give them a hard time
about it...its only $20 bux

They must not care awhole lot about the names anyhow....they were available.

Thanks for the link goh..been reading the zine for years

 

I no nuffin about car except ameriCAR

think the additional name just added to the punitive damages in the lawsuit. jk be careful with that they are somewhat agressive in thier marks check the udrp history. if they are not there it doesnt mean they dont care they may go straight civil. thats a danger getting a supoena instead of c and d.

do they have typein or links if so maybe good for traffic if not dangerous to develop.

just my opinion

Well been doing some digging on the icann site..so far no cases involving those words car and driver.

You points are all well taken ....

I think also these are pretty generic words and as long as I don't do anything to conflict with their usage ( which I had not intended to do anyhow ) I should probably be fine. There are a number of TM's dealing with different usages, probably gonna redirect to a insurance company...no conflict there at all.

So I'll take my chances If they have a problem, I will just handle it very politely.

Thanks for the input.
