Neiman Marcus Acquires BG.com For Its Bergdorf Goodman Store But Did They Buy It?

August 8, 2011 by Michael Berkens

The domain name BG.com has been acquired by the Neiman Marcus Group which owns the Bergdorf Goodman store located on 5th Avenue in New York.

BG.com has an original registration date of March 1992.

The previous registrant was Domein Bulgaria Ltd. and before that The Bristol Group, Ltd.

BG is also the country code for Bulgaria.

The whois record was updated on July 24, 2011

The domain BG.com is currently forwarding to bergdorfgoodman.com

Now the question becomes how much did Neiman Marcus pay for the domain?

It’s certain a six figure or higher priced domain.

But  did Neiman buy it?

Check out the whois address on record of the domain today:

udrp3@cph.com

Now check out the domains that Neiman Marcus won in a recent UDRP

neaumanmarcus.com

neirmanmarcus.com

niemnmarcus.com

Check out the whois address on record of those domain today:

udrp3@cph.com

Now check out the email address for the domain name neimanmarcus.com (correct spelling)

The whois address is:

DNSADMIN@neimanmarcus.com

I checked the UDRPSearch database and didn’t file a complaint for BG.com but the email address on the whois record for BG.com indicates the company may have gotten the domain through legal means rather than purchase.

We certainly hope that is not the case and that the domain owner got a nice payday.

    I actually approached the BG.COM owner some time back as I was interested in the domain. He was after 350k USD minimum. So lets hope he got at least that.

    Pretty darn sad if they lost that domain via UDRP! Let’s hope that wasn’t the case but you pointed out several tracks that do point that way.

    I wonder what “Domein Bulgaria Ltd” was? A made up name maybe? That could play a factor.

    i approached them too a while back
    they were hoping for around 300k
    they started using ddna.com as their brokers
    vincent ko was the broker who got back to me
    i didnt bother getting back

    i would hope they certainly paid for the domain and didnt use scum lawyers to hijack it
    reach out to ddna and see if they sold via brokerage

    It’s a waste of a domain name. Nice domain being used for forwarding.

    UPDATE: I actually sent the guy an email out of curiosity. He cant disclose the sale price, but said he was very happy.

    So looks like it was sold, and not taken via UDRP.
