What the hell is going on with this rare and extremely rare harry potter domain name issues on ebay auctions. Every dork is trying to sell some kind of crap related to harry potter these days. What is the big deal?

Well, you know they have the other movie coming out. Probably more after that one, too. I know what you mean, though. What makes me sick is seeing a bunch of stuff listed (not only in the domain category) with the word "RARE" in the title when it's a common thing or virtually "new". What's so RARE about that? I leave the term "rare" for antiques and specialty items (i.e. numbered, limited editions, etc.), not for junk like "RARE Body of Work video!!" And the person claims it's rare just because it's still in shrinkwrap. I guess "rare" must be in the eye of the beholder these days.

"Rare" in this case can only refer to those few Harry Potter domains that haven't yet been take by Warner (but soon will, of course).

harrypotterdvd.org
harrypotterdvds.com
harrypotterdvds.net
harrypotterdvds.org

Nobody wins with these kind of useless registrations except the registrars and Warner's legal department (bigger budget)

Hey - unless they've registered a trademark of Harry Potter doing business in an area, they can't claim title to a domain.

Eg:
HarryPotterFruit.com
HarryPotterViagraTablets.com

Also, I would love to see what would happen when someone really called Harry Potter claims he had title HarryPotter.com because he was born years before the story was created!
