Premium Domain: Halflife.org
Introduction
I am selling the prestigious domain Halflife.org. I've just recently acquired this domain with the intention of possibly flipping it for a profit, which is why I'm selling it. I do not plan on selling it under $x,xxx - so if no interested parties are interested in that range, I will be developing the site myself.
What is Halflife?
Halflife is the 6th most popular computer game of all time. Ask any gamer what Halflife is, and they'll be able to tell you. Ever hear of Counterstrike or the many other similar mods? They're all mods of Halflife.
Halflife 2 came out with a major bang, revolutionizing the FPS (first-player-shooter) world. Valve, the company behind Halflife, has since decided to release all future Halflife games at a much quicker pace, in distributions called Edisodes. Halflife 2: Episode 1 has already been released, and Halflife 2: Episode 2 is due to be released in about a month, where a new mod called Portal, and the much anticipated sequal to Team Fortress Classic, Team Fortress, will be shipped with it. The faster development of these makes Halflife even more prevelent and known in the gaming industry.

Versatility
Love the domain but not exactly sure what to do with it? Here are just a handful of ideas:
-> Forum; can't get a better domain for a Halflife forum..
-> Turn into a quick-n-dirty site and use PPC Arbitrage on it
-> Become an affiliate and sell HL games, merchandise, etc.
-> Develop into a large HL site
Legalities?
Most serious potential buyers will be concerned about possible copyright/trademark issues with the domain. I'm not a lawyer, so I ccannot advise you legally here, but I will provide you with some background info.
Valve is a company who welcomes free publicity, not one who repels it (such as our beloved Microsoft). Halflife.com is currently on sale for $1,000,000 and Halflife.us is for sale too. There are TONS of MAJOR sites with 'halflife' in domain such as Halflife2.net and HalflifeSource.com. You'd think these sites wouldn't exist if Valve wanted to sue them.
I honestly don't think there would be any problem whatsoever in terms of legalities.
Payment Details
I can accept payment via PayPal, Neteller, or Bank Wire.
If you're interested, please contact me at [email protected] - do not PM me here as I rarely check PM's.
Thanks!
