Wanted: Domain Appraisal FindIpod.com

[mikins31]

Picked up this domain few days ago, looking to find out if i can use it in any way as clearly Apple has trademarking rights for Ipod..

Would appreciate if you guys can help me with any valuation or have advise if this domain is worth much!

Thanks!

It's worth thousands..........in court costs.

So there is no way I can sell it then.. Would I be allowed to park it or develop it in any way?!

Just an update not looking to sell it just read this article and realized Apple own Ipod trademark

Now the question is would I be allowed to use it in any way / keep it or might as well just give it to them straight away?!

Neither - just delete it.

Keeping it opens you up to all sorts of trouble, but why spend any effort on trying to get anyone inside a giant organisation like Apple to understand what's going on and transfer the domain over? Much much simpler to just delete it, and treat it as a relatively cheap lesson in the kind of names you should avoid at any cost!

thought about writing them e-mail and stuff, but you are right it's easier to just delete it.

Thanks

I agree with Edwin. Just delete it and take the small hit and put it down to learning.

It was very cheap lesson indeed as I registered it at crazydomains.co.uk for only £1.99 at the time

actually double lesson as I learnt not to use crazydomains.co.uk registrar based on personal experience!

Thanks guys
