I was thinking the exact same...

Jackass was 5th in box office last weekend....HURRY!

The TV show is still hot!

Sell now, 6 months from now, the hype will be over, and you'll have to sell it to a farmer. Heehaw:eek:

I dont sell and never do + I dont need the money. As a name its worthless to me whether its a biggie or not. I just wanted to know if it had value.

I think you are in the best position to sell domains when you do not need money, because then you are not desperate...

But that really has nothing to do with timing...timing is everything, and the time is NOW on jackass.com!

If i was MTV and someone came to me trying to sell a domain for $1m, i would take them to court...........as most people wouldn't be able to afford the legal fee's, and that would be alot cheaper than paying $1m.

Don't know if there will be a trademark problem or MTV, channel 4 or Paramount will try it on with a bad faith law suit

But ...... maybe its only good for the movie / tv programme at the end of the day... yes you could say its a generic name - but you say "jackass" to anyone in the UK and they instantly think of the tv show

traffic alone worth having though - they could say they are losing out on this traffic to the official site

£2000 to MTV not to go to WIPO

it would be like selling BBC.com and saying 3 letters are generic

Elequa keep it mate as you will do anyway and use the traffic to go to mp3.tv

I often agree with you Doberry but I think you are way off the mark on this one. Realistically 50-75K.

Yes, we are usually parallel on appraisals...

However, $1 million was not my appraisal, but rather what I thought MTV would cough up, or at least make a counter offer on.

I bet this thing gets crazy hits...people just assume they will find a website based on the TV show...

This whole stunt thing is popular now...backyard wrestling, bum fights, jackass..etc...ALL of this will fade in less that a year....and the domain will be appraised soley on the name as a "farm animal", or an "idiot"... not the stunt hype.

As far as an appraisal as a farm animal.. well, worthy of low 5 figures.
