Hi All,
I was just curious, has anyone ever sold a domain back to an original owner who has mistakenly let it expire? By this I mean either caught it on a drop or hand redged just after the drop process finished, and then sold it back to it's original owner once the "oh s**t" factor took over when their website had disappeared and they worked out why?
If so, who contacted who first? And how did you deal with their animosity (I imagine there would be some!)
Final part of question - what is the legality of this if it's
A) a pretty generic name
B) something that could be argued as being generic but really isn't
C) an actual business name (but NOT a trademark).
Would be interested to hear of experiences
