    [apprisal] Three domains

    How much would you par for a set of three domains:

    PlanetWarsow.com
    PlanetWarsow.net
    PlanetWarsow.org

    Warsow is a fast-paced FPS, it's becoming more and more popular.

    Such websites already exist:
    www.PlanetAvP.com
    www.PlanetBattlefield.com
    www.PlanetCallOfDuty.com
    www.PlanetCounterStrike.com
    www.PlanetDoom.com
    www.PlanetDuke.com
    www.PlanetFarCry.com
    www.PlanetGTA.com
    www.PlanetHalfLife.com
    www.PlanetMedalOfHonor.com
    www.PlanetQuake.com
    www.PlanetRainbow6.com
    www.PlanetUnreal.com
    www.PlanetWolfenstein.com
    www.PlanetX-Men.com

    Maybe it's about time for PlanetWarsow?

    What do you think, shall I sell them right away? Or maybe their value will increase in the future?

    Hmm a complicated one this, I would say about $110 but i am not sure of the popularity of warsow, and would need to learn more for an accurate guess, so range of 80USD-110USD

    Don't sell them right away. The same company runs almost all the sites you listed. Wait until it gets bigger and bigger then see if they want to buy it. Don't let them off cheap though.

    SlimSlyk, I was thinking about the same thing. However, they didn't buy planetfarcry.com or .org, and .net is still free. Instead they have PlanetFarCry website at planetfarcry.gamespy.com. I'll wait some time, maybe I'll optimise them in search engines and then we'll see...

    Be careful... Buying a domain with a trademarked name in it can, unless done carefully, be a risk.

    the same company probably does own all of the others. I do know they have hundreds of them. They have legit uses for them.

    While this is a humor based link the fact is that it's a real case and was recently a topic in WHT...

    If you want to do it clearly it must be shown that by no means is intended to compete with their trademark nor to be used for defamation.

    I don't want to use these domains for defamation; I just want to sell them. And if they someone wants to sue me - go ahead... They can do it in Poland, in Polish Court of Law :-)

    Oh no, they don't sue really. They just go through the process with ICANN and have it taken. I suppose it's for the best but, well, so far I've not had any taken from me.

    I love that story - the fact that a cat had ownership of the domian - cracks me up every time.
