Wanted: Domain Appraisal Appraisal for PS4REPAIR .CO.UK

aggieuk · Oct 5, 2012

Hi regged this one yesterday, would have loved to have the .com but of course it wasn't available, also would have liked to have the PS4REPAIRS .CO.UK/.COM too but they were gone too! So this one will have to do!

Thinking of developing it into maybe a directory of PS4 repair shops and maybe have paid subscriptions, laced with a few ads here and there for additional revenue.

What do you guys think? Any potential value?

Trademark?

Trademark shouldn't be an issue if its going to be a repairs site, even with some ads. So long as there is a legit reason for using the name.

You may want to avoid using any PS logo's without their permission

That is what i was thinking, if it was PS4consoles .co.uk or something like that it would be a different kettle of fish altogether i suppose. But I think as long as i develop it into a useful/functional website there shouldn't be any problems. (I hope anyways!)

I was interested in this, because I've had a few domains with TM issues in the past - and sometimes I don't know the differences.

The "PS4" trademark isn't actually owned by Sony for "Playstation 4", it's owned by another company, founded in 1990.

Not sure if that changes anything... I was just interested so I did a quick Google search.

Edit: I suppose this helps that your domain is PS4REPAIR ... I completely forgot about the REPAIR on the end.

Just starting to gather info together for development now, started a basic wordpress blog format and hopefully once i see decent traffic visiting i'll get a nice expensive high tech custom built one. I think i'd probably make more on advertising and sponsorship than selling so i think this one's deffo a develop rather than a sell.
