no doubts… it’s BigApple.com (and, after voting, I’ve seen that many other agree with me) but… could Apple sue the buyier/user of this domain? I think the answer, for 99%, is a Big “yes”
TShirts.com is good for the name (and the domains bundled) but not for the price

If BigApple.com is developed about NYC there isn’t a chance it can be be taken by Apple.
I would have to say Tshirts.com package first then the companion.com.
years ago, Apple has sued also the city of NY for a logo too similar to its apple, so… 😐
I don’t think it’s Apple Computer the new owner has to worry about here. There are others using Big Apple out there. See Thebigapple.com. This is why it’s always good to get a trademark lawyer to run a clearance search before plunking down major bucks for a domain name.
DiscountJeans.com – $1,700.00
Talk about a deal. This is a market in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Properly developed this buyer can retire in about 3 years!!!!!
Didn’t see it in the list but I believe BridalSets.com sold for 7k. I think that’s a very good deal considering the high prices and large markup on engagement/wedding rings. If that domain helps the owner sell 4 or 5 bridal sets, they’ve earned their investment back.
I like GroceryStore.com as the best deal. 450,000 exact searches and should be a fantastic brand name (like DrugStore.com).
Complete steal.
(sorry, I meant to post this here, not in the results thread)
Stromboli.com 😀
I hope the common theme is apparent here:
“If the new owner of Xdomain develops it out…”
It’s obvious development is vital – and I hope
people start to take their own advice and get active in development.
Everyone sees great development potential in these names — but there has to be real work and effort and money put into a project to make it work.
Free drinks at the open bar.
Isn’t over redundancy from a lawyer quadrouple?
nyapartments for me
its a defined market with a low entry price, great geo/service term that will do well off and online and consumers only shop for real estate online these days
CigarBars.com => interesting
I liked Hoarders.com at $1,700. I wasn’t paying attention during the auction and didn’t realize it went this cheap. After I learned about the price, I told the owner I would pay $2k for it should the buyer not pay.
Not only are people who suffer from compulsive hoarding known as “hoarders,” there’s a tv show on A&E about the disease that’s also known as Hoarders.
“Something Else”… very generic domain… 🙂 (but already registered… 🙂 )
I bought hoarders. No need to email previous owner. Been trying to get it for months.
It’s a fun topic. Real hot now. Big on A&E and new hoarding show popping up on TLC now too.
The only one I bid on was InvestmentPlanning.com, which was a good name at $10k…
I did like BigApple.com and NYApartments.com (nice work mr. parkinson). I also liked bridalsets because it came with weddingsets.
Congratulations, @ Jodi, for buying Hoarders.com! Please develop a sub-section of it for domainers, because I have a touch of that, and applied it to domaining. You can tell from my portfolio of bad domains, but I don’t want to give them up!
Funny I never thought of it like that. I guess if you are carry domains like df933.info then that is a form of hoarding.
NewYorkApartments.com was my favorite buy. RE names usually are. Endless potential.
What a deal you got, @ Jody! Kleptomania.com is listed at TRAFFIC auction bet. 20,000 – 100,000 EU! Hoarders is much better!
Good reflexes calling out the Klepdomainiac in behalf of your friend, Steve, about his robbed domain, Kidnap.com! Steve posted a blurb crediting you on Elliot’s Blog. <==
Easy: grocerystore.com @ $32.5k — All the rest were pretty uninteresting.

It would not even need to be developed. “The Big Apple” was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald. A long, long time before personal computers emerged. Even if the respondent didn’t respond it would be hard for Apple computer to argue a misconception, that they indeed invented the term in the early 1920s.
I have won about 10 cases against WIPO, and I use the long list of stolen domains taken through their arbitrary process against them every time.
