i thought it would've sold for more...

pradaboy · 03-21-2005, 03:45 AM

that's a pretty fair price IMO, or should it have gone for more?

There are legal issues on a name like that with his estate. I had to deal with them when I did an Elvis deal years back.

reynold · 03-21-2005, 03:46 AM

It should cost more than that.

Since the Sony Bono Copyright Act, it's 90 years after their death. I don't know if this applies to Elvis, as it was before that bill.

gecko · 03-21-2005, 08:53 AM

That's a pretty nice chunk

DutchTeenCash · 03-21-2005, 08:54 AM

and then lawyer comes along and claims it to the presley relatives WOOSH 100k

BVF · 03-21-2005, 09:57 AM

I wonder how much I could get for muhammadali.org?

Elvis was all about merchandising - you can still make money off his name, music, movies, etc. but Ali doesn't have as much in that regard. Still, would be a sweet domain to have!

Ali was the King.

That was my first thought, but you never know. Let's wait and see if the domain actually changes hands.

DomBuyer · 03-21-2005, 10:48 AM

I used to own Picasso.com and it was constant b.s from the Picasso Estate.

Finally sold it to the owner of Picasso Divewear who has a TM on the name so no problem.

Luc · 03-21-2005, 11:08 AM

that's adam's name. whoever is willing to pay $100k for it better have
a good set of lawyers that will let him make that money back before
the domain gets taken back, which it will.

Are you saying Adam had this name stolen or hijacked?

Because I saw him post about the auction on his forum. So it would seem this clearly was his auction. Adam also said he never received a C & D letter.

axelcat · 03-21-2005, 11:30 AM

nice domain

paxton · 03-21-2005, 11:51 AM

Just chatted with Adam, he said he doubts the buyer is legitimate. He had zero feedback, and he kept bidding until he hit the reserve.
