    need an pro advice for domain name sell/speculation

    1 years ago i've buy a collection of domain name (com/net/org) at the time i had an idea (a vbuletin forum) but never had the time to work on it so i've park those domain. then since a medical companies have coming out with a produce using the same name as my domain! the product is still in beta test and is a baldness treatment

    so i've just put online a wordpress blog about this product..
    so the question is : whats should i do ? contact the companies and trying to sell them my domain or waiting offer?

    yes simply contact them tell them you have a domain they might be interested in and ask them to make a offer,saves waiting for them to maybe do it.

            well first just ask if they are interested in the domain before talking cost,they may not even be interested then go from there.

            Take one step at a time.

              Wait. It's essential, because if you contact them, you hand them your ass for a cybersquatting trial. They'd claim they invented, maybe even trademarked the name before you registered the domain and get a good chance to grab it for free.

              How much to ask for if they contact you ? You could either play safe, ask for like 10-20k which they'd probably pay without hesitation since it's the fastest way for them to get the domain and this sum won't hurt them. If you choose to go for 6 figures, they'd probably test the waters for a legal battle.

              So, there is a good chance to make some nice cash, but don't push it too far, ask yourself how much money you are willing to possibly waste on a lawyer.

                    You should take down any reference to the product, put up some content completely unrelated. Otherwise you appear to be cybersquatting on their (trademarked?) name.
