How to reach end-users
A rare dilemma faces a NamePros member that has owned an LL.com for years. @NickSE wishes to know how he can reach out to corporate end-users to purchase his name for the desired amount of 7 figures. There may be others out there with LLL.com’s or other valuable domain names, which were initially bought for unknown reasons and got renewed over the years. How does one reach end-users? The question has several replies on how to reach out to end-users, or maintain such a valuable asset.

Freemarket is spamming Flippa's failures
There is a fine line between email marketing and spam. Some domain investors cross it every day, while others remain within the boundaries of legalities and ethics of selling domain names. When does an email marketing campaign constitute spam? There have been more than 1000 views and over 50 replies trying to answer this question.

HipHop.com redirected to KanyeWest.com
After the domain name Loser.com received a lot of press coverage for redirecting to Kanye West’s Wikipedia page, it’s unknown who is behind the recent move of the HipHop.com redirect. No official press release has been made about this redirect from West’s publicist. This topic has just shy of 900 views and over 30 votes cast on a multiple choice poll.

Marketplace Extortion?
Sedo offers free appraisals for domain names added to its marketplace. For some, it generates a value greater than $10,000 on a fifth of the domain names appraised. However, in order to list and sell a name on Sedo for $10,000 or more, you must pay an additional $100 for a human appraisal. This has one questioning whether his domain is worth what the automated appraisal calculated, wondering if he should ante up the additional $100 to list higher. It’s received 1,335 views and nearly 70 replies.

Selling TM Domains
Does trademarking a domain name add value to it? There has been a lot of engagement around the issue of what a trademark is and why it shouldn’t be done. This discussion also features a poll regarding how much value is added to a domain’s worth by including the TM with it.
