I am sorry in the delay for responses. We went into this trying to be as fair as possible. Please make all offers via email so I have a record (even if you have already made one on ICQ... email it to
[email protected] so I don't overlook you).
Here are our policies for these domains. We are accepting offers of any kind. Bidding closes later today. If you are one of the top 5 bidders on a domain, you will get bcc'd in an email with a final asking price. First one to respond gets the domain.
We feel this avoids artificial inflation. It is not fair if we are jumping back and forth saying "so and so offered this much, care to beat it?" As for those of you who have asked prices, I have responded with what we desire for the name, but chances are we will let it go for less. I encourage everyone to make an offer as some of these have little to no bids. Don't be naive and low ball either because (as proven by this thread) there is significant interest.
Regarding legal issues, these domains are certified free and clear. There is no pending legal cases against these domains, or the owners of these domains.
As for validity of this sale or theft, transfer can be made via escrow (buyer pays) to protect you.
