Is there a way to confirm this?? All the feedback is appreciated other than checking whois. I want to make sure properly that The domain Im Buying is not stolen domain.!
Ask yourself the same question if you bought a stolen car - what would you do?
Well, if you bought a tangible item like a car, it is easier to track the thief and recoup your money than buying an intangible item like a domain... :?:
So, IMO, you can't compare the two.
I would return the domain, and take the loss. Its my fault who bought a lost domain, and it is not the owners fault who got his domain stolen.
So return the name and take a loss is the legit option.
Might be fine if you only paid xxx for it. I don't see how its the buyers fault. You can do all the research you want, it could still be stolen. Do you think the guy who bought p2p.com for 100k that was stolen is just going to take the loss? Fat chance.
Exactly. If both parties took a 50/50 loss (50k in this example) they could write it off on their taxes and would be both essentially compensated for the deal plus interest over time (if you could convince the IRS of that).
I am not sure how you would get the money "back" by writing it off...wouldn't you just not have to pay taxes on that 50k?
For that sort of money you should hire a lawyer, and have a purchase contract written, just like you would do for purchasing a house.i just declined to go with the sale now, yes it was around xx,xxx usd involved, so i just ignored, cant put myself on risk.
Thanks for all the feedback.
