Facebook paid 7 million dollars to purchase FB.com which belonged to the Farmer's Bureau. A nice sale i must say But there are no problems with trademarks.

Where you could have a problem, is if you have a domain like IBM.com , while IBM is the known company, you could sell it to them or keep it. But you can have a problem if you build a website on IBM.com ( your domain ) insulting, criticizing or competing IBM Corp directly. Then yes, they can come against you. But if you build a website selling wines, they can't do anything.

So there are NO problems with trademarks , unless stated above. But as a domain alone, there are no issues with 3 letters. Because it could be anything with 3 letters.

Trademark issues are more present in longer domains, such as Facebooksucks.com etc... Where you just can't defend the fact that you registered this by mistake ;)

Domain is still for sale and looking for a quick deal at 10,900$us. really cheap for what it is.
Estibot.com appraisal is at 41k$!

Let me know!
Thanks very much for this info..

Very helpful to see this..
