Lol, they did say it may take until after the chinese new year for payment to come through, so that might be march. So no, I'm definitely not holding my breath.

its been good here, but I have had a bunch of recent negotiations that got very close to closing, but then have stalled. Two stubborn people just being stubborn, for example, after a bunch of back and fort I said $10K USD bottom line and they said $9K USD and neither has budged and radio...

yeah, that's why I said to use some icon similar to "hot list" (which is filterable, and I assume the re-auctions would be filterable also). So for me, a simple filter check of what's on re-auction would suffice. I'd imagine we would subscribe to a mailing list to get notified of the...

Speaking of bad phone calls, I made the mistake of answering the phone today from an unrecognized number - I wish it was just an indian scammer. So this guy basically says "Sorry, I don't mean to ambush you on the phone here, but I represent a client with 6 trademarks and we want to try and...

I guess that makes you the King. :ROFLMAO:

yeah, that one was pretty obvious, but there's more then 40 references to domains in this weeks TBR above. Most not worth chasing though, haha.

Since I'm a real auction-monger, I like to frequent the TBR, but sometimes my TBR budget feels like it has progressed into an open spigot. So I'm just taking a balanced approach this week rather than screaming "banzai" and going after anything and everything. Not to be crass, but many of the...

Seems like I'm just hearing crickets in regards to this upcoming tbr. I guess that means I need to take a close look this week, lol.

Priorities in dealing with deadbeat buyers, IMHO: 1. Penalize the deadbeat. If a person made a very rare but accidental mistake, like added an extra digit to their bid, then a warning is fine to ensure they take better care when bidding in the future. Mistakes can happen. I can see where...

I only mention that because I acquire domains in TBR frequently, but I reg those in my personal name temporarily to avoid the public whois. I would normally prefer public whois for sales purposes, but I also prefer to not tip off people (competitors) what I'm buying. I eventually move them to...

btw a canadian corporation would satisfy, but make sure right now that the domain is in the corporation name (be exact), and not your personal name as Registrant.

i think cdrp is pretty fair to registrants, but you have to fight back, and if it goes to cdrp you have to get a panel instead of single a single panelist so you don’t get screwed by one rogue person. often the best strategy is to prevent it from going that far by letting them know you won’t...

I've been through it a few times, and have prevented many others from ever getting to CDRP. It would be a better private discussion since giving you any advice would require knowing the domain in question as every situation is different. If you want to talk, feel free to PM me and we can do a...

Nice idea, sounds like a good partnership. Wish you the best of luck with that!

Its generic, if they chose to not trademark it (which they didn't), its because they knew they couldn't get it approved.
