Best place to start: http://www.whois.sc/monkeybusiness.com

Contact the owner and see if they are interested. From www.archive.org it looks like they've been using it for several years.

The edit button on posts is only available for 15 minutes after posting. Beyond that it would require asking at the helpdesk for edits if it's *really* important.

How do you know this is the current owner of the site ?? just wondering..Well, that's what whois is supposed to report - the current owner of the domain.

http://www.archive.org/

I didnt see anything in who is source relating to this site?If you but the Website Address into their "Wayback Machine" it shows several years of saved images of the website. Archive.org is not perfect. The saved websites are sometimes incomplete... but when you consider the size of their undertaking (periodically saving all the websites on the web!) and that the service is free - it's just amazing.

For example this reference here: http://web.archive.org/web/20021124074552/http://www.monkeybusiness.com/ shows that MonkeyBusiness.com was using the same monkey logo back in 2002. That, as I said, shows that the same company has probably been using the domain for several years.

That's as much research as I'm doing for you. If you do a Google search on monkey business skateboard you will see that this is a supplier of skateboard hardware. They've been in business for over 10 years in the Orange County area (where I live) and the website cleary states that they are celebrating this fact. They obviously used to sell their hardware directly through the web, but apparently they have gone to more of a wholesale route - Distributing their products through skateboard retailers.

This website may be a "waste" to you. To them, I'm sure the domain name and the monkey logo are valuable corporate assets that would cost you a small fortune to acquire.

I think you are wasting your time trying to buy this domain name.
