Well done. I think 50 squid is a good price for that domain.

All you need do now is work on your selling technique, ie forget using hi! as an introduction, etc. Try to be as professional as possible. Find a name or try sir/madam etc.

Hi ! i mean dear sir/madam lol
Thanks for suggestion on my letter/E-mail FEkix and Takwa as for dead trademarks i know a guy who started a telecommunications business call Mercury after the well known Mercury telecom ceased trading, i think as long as the trademark is no longer registered and not in use then i reckon it's fine !

p.s Sorry for slow response, something to do with 10 kids, 1 bonfire and 50 fireworks lol

I think it's still a tricky one. I think the name must not have been used for a certain number of years.

Maybe if a few years have past. You also have to think about the class of business. For example I could start a taxi company called McDonalds but not a new brand of icecream because of the food class and restaurant classes are too close.

Sorry I've moved this thread off topic a bit. Interesting stuff though.

I don't know how you cope with 3 kids - I can't cope with my wife
