For Sale Solo.ca

Setting all of that aside, until just a few days ago, he had ppc that had solo mobility's ads all over it. Buyer beware indeed.

But lets say someone buys it and set a site on it with like solo contracting. Wouldn't he be protected since he's not the previous owner and is not using it for resale but for his legit company?

I'll start it off at $500.

You want to discuss whether the domain is a risky buy or not fine. You want to discuss trademark issues fine. I've been upfront and honest about the domain and I have had to deal with the majority of you using this SALES thread as your own personal toilet!

Asking admin to lock this.

If you have interest and want to discuss the domain or buying the domain you can PM like I originally ask for in the first post of this thread.

I agree with linkman..

This isn't a place to discuss, its simply buying or selling. If you have an opinion, share it somewhere else right..

I NEVER comment in sales threads. Check my history. But this IS an exceptional situation as you are directly capitalizing on a TM situation via PPC ads and then suddenly switching to a search engine on the eve of the sale, thereby shifting the burden to someone else, potentially setting them up for a big loss. It is only fair to warn potential buyers, and you should support transparency rather than being annoyed.

I have supported transparency. If you read my response to why it was changed to a search engine you would get the picture. I think I have the right to be annoyed with the way this thread turned out.

The first trade-mark was actually registered in 1987 (# 328791 ).

If they took screenshots of the site with links to competitors' sites, then they would have a strong case in a challenge.

The difference is between first use of a mark and the actual registration. In Canada, as in many countries, these can be in advance of actual use.

It seems you are the one who did not get the picture. Even after learning about the trade mark issue, ignoring for now the fact you were already on notice from them via a letter, you expect $20K for the remains!

The oats are really cheap once they have already been through the horse.

As it stands right now, there is no chance for someone to create a "conflict-free" site because even the URL is a mark, and Bell has more than enough time and money to make someone hurt.

As far as this whole listing goes, I do think the seller has really minimized the disclosure of the risks by not being fully upfront about the status of the domain registration and its usage. If you got a letter from a trade mark lawyer then you are already in the know as to what is what.

After the PPC money ends he wants to cash out big at the expense of a buyer lured by the "high earnings" which are no longer there, and for many people, there is no access to the backup of old pages to confirm things.

Without making judgments as to this matter, I do think sellers here are more considerate in general.

A great example is another person here who states in his posts his entire terms and conditions when he puts a domain on offer, including disclosure of any legal issues right up to the day of the sale transaction.

That is fair and it is forthright as well.
