Worked it out.

AutoTrade(r) is quite a good comparison, which has been commented on previously in this thread.

Edit: Looking at your website though, it's probably a bit of an aggravating factor that you're offering the same service. As a side note, I don't value the domain personally.

Or just delete the domain.

Hi guys,

Firstly I really appreciate the time you have spent in your replies.

RE: joke title, I am taking it seriously which is why I am seeking advice, it appeared a joke to me because my site is so small and insignificant in comparison that they'd even bother to waste their time. It is of course worth something to them though obviously, I have a small blog on the site which offers free advice articles which brings some adequate revenue through Google ads.

I don't want to literally hand over my property to a company that's flexing it's muscles. Very frustrated that they want to trample on such a small set-up.
The site itself is rubbish, but it's the domain they want.

Ideally I want them to make me an offer, would you advise against me replying to them myself without seeking a professional?

It depends, because I don't actually know what the domain name is, or how much money you would like for it. There will be a figure that they might pay, which might be an amount that will interest you, to resolve the matter instead of doing anything else, because it will be more worth their while.

Looking into this again I think your position is weakened to the point of being untenable by the fact that you registered their company name with a hyphen on the same day as you registered your own domain, and their site was already well established by this point.

If this goes legal I think you'll lose because of this fact regardless of any other issues as it shows awareness of them as an entity.

Their (likely) argument is probably going to be: you registered the domain under dispute, plus the same domain with a hyphen, plus their exact domain but with a hyphen, and this was all done on the same day, so you must have seen their domain registration and/or site during this process.

Up to you, but my advice would be to walk away from it.

Someone just email me the domain name at issue, please.

Yes I agree. Looking at the sites and the registration dates I wouldn't think you have much hope of keeping them. I'd walk away if I were you.
