Wanted: Domain Appraisal cheapolympicstickets/co/uk

belovedAunt · Feb 7, 2012

Bought it a while ago but with no income-generating mechanism in mind. The thing is, it probably only has value to the dodgier secondary ticket or fraudulent end of the market?

I don't want to promote stuff that isn't 100% legit, and I'm sure that they'll be cracking down hard on use of the 2012 olympic trademark anyway.

What do you reckon? Best to just leave it unused?

I'm sure others are better versed in this than me but I think anything with the word "olympics" in it is a non-starter

Hmmm, well unless my FreshStoreBuilder sites start doing really well, I suspect that the IOC can afford better lawyers than I can.

Thanks - I think I'll just let it drop.

Waste of time even if you were a hit and run merchant why would someone with them want to sell them cheap ?

Ah, so that's what the new muppet film is about...

yeah 'olympics' is a tm and they ferociously guard it, and you can't buy and sell tickets privately
that is if you want them
I don't know anyone in London who is going or is interested, they are just dreading them and the ensuing chaos
many are pissing off out the country for duration lol

minus regfee all round lol

It's also against the forum rules to even post Olympic names!

someone's for the high jump.

Perhaps admin should put an auto-filter in place on vB to star **** out any 'olympic' type words automatically.

OP - ditch it, as fast as your legs can carry you!

'skating on thin ice' with this one
oh wait, that's the winter olympics

Ha ha, the High Jump indeed. I didn't realise I'm not even supposed to mention the Big O in here! Hopefully I'll be spared a lifetime ban.

Apologies to Sebastian Coe if one of his millions of trademark lawyers is reading this and are already preparing a special rendition flight to Guantanamo. You should go after these guys first http://www.olympics-2012-tickets.com/
