Are there any issues with having personal names in the form of FirstLast.com, when the person is not a celebrity? I have one on which i was just contacted by the personal who forgot to renew it. It's a common name and the person is one of a million author/speakers. Not a celebrity by any means. I'm certain there are thousands of people with this same name in the world.
I have not yet replied, and am wondering the best way to handle it. I'm certain that when people lose their personal name domains, they are pissed and don't understand the domain name market and figure you should give it back for twenty bucks.
A friend told me he sells the names for $500 - $1000 because it costs $1200 for someone to pay for a hearing on it anyway.
Seems like the best bet is to say no more than "the price is $xxx" and that is all I say, and to make sure th parking page does not relate to the field that the person's business is.
Is there anything I should be wary of?
