Ok, perhaps this will actually get you to see my point

This is, of course, sssuning the Default transfer does get put in place.

If RBS make a DRS complaint, and the registrant responds, then the default transfer process is not an issue. If RBS wants to take it to an expert they pay the fee as they would now.

If RBS make a DRS complaint, and the registrant DOES NOT respond, then the default transfer process IS an issue. If RBS have made a "valid" claim, then they can pay the Default transfer fee and get the domain.

If RBS make a DRS complaint, and the registrant DOES NOT respond, then the default transfer process IS an issue. If RBS have made an "invalid", then Nominet send it to the Expert to make a decsion as to rights/abuse as normal.

So the only question is what is a "valid" complaint. I understand it as a complaint that is a proper complaint that has evidence/reasoning etc rather than a few words saying "I want it". In this case, Nominet are not making any decisions on the rights/abuse, but purely on IF any such content is there.

Both buyer and seller have stated numerous times they they have no intention of sending bank statements or whatever to anyone.

If you don't think the sale is genuine then that's up to you, but many of us on here know and trust either Dougs and/or Paul enough to take there word on it.

Off topic I know, but further to this - we should be happy that a larger sale is public at all.

The fuss over the price and the constant questioning of the buyer/seller for verification, motives etc etc fully justifys why most keep things quiet.

There have been three similar scale sales (that I am aware of , and I dont know 100% of the .uk market!) since recycle.co.uk all NDA'ed - thankfully - or we would need a whole new forum.

Anyway... back on topic?

Doug/Rob....from a PR perspective a verfied sale is certainly worth pursuing...as mo says DN journal are only interested in verified sales

Rob.... PR5 makes all the ranting worthwhile for the good of all....i call it blogging as noone has to respond to my posts or anyone elses.

I think most buyers and sellers are less vocal but I think this is solely on the basis that they are still in the market.....any purchaser does not want to disclose its max likely price and a seller does not want to disclose its selling expectations....disclosure kills this game but that does not mean someone else maybe playing a different game....but why play a different game if its not the game being played

I was not involved in this transaction, so I am afraid I have nothing to add. I can say that I am not aware of any reason to doubt it.
