domain fb.pics - appraisal

[rtist]

Please Appraise my new domain


I acquired the domain a couple minutes ago (literly)
Market: Social media (any picture associated application)
Research: don't know much about appraising domain names.
No value in mind. Yet.
Not owned for enough days to determine if there's traffic.
Age: less than a day

additional information: Facebook paid 8.5million to acquire


obviously, i don't intend to get anywhere close to that but just
thought i'd point it out.

As said domain is reg-fee. There are 10 reported .pics sale on NameBio and this is a very weak extension.
Regarding the TM violation probably you're right, since it is not clear, but if for any reason FB decides that they want your domain you'll receive a "cease and desist" letter or something similar. You can even think to win it and maintain the control of the domain if they become more aggressive.
But do you really want to go through that for a domain with basically no value?

Facebook has a history of crying wolf. Looks like they've actually backed-off from making threats as it's creating bad publicity (aswell as a few judges have declined their request). Nevertheless, if they send a cease and desist then there's value in the domain so it would be worth to fight it. Might just get in contact with someone @twitter and sell it to them just to piss fb off lol. (easier said than done) - have them put some porn on the domain lol.. It would be pretty easy to get a news outlet to cover the news especially with a cease and desist letter.

Kool Name. There are good monthly search for exact match FB PICS.
Instead of FB if FaceBook bought BF or KT or Any LL. Is that means they have Right on these Words. No one can use them in the world.
Thank God they bought FB not my name RP.com
First it is almost impossible to get LL.Any TLD. Well Done.
Is it hand reg?

You're a little hot head aren't you? You should listen more to what people are telling you...try to act professional rather then act like a tough guy. Facebook has an entire legal team...do you? They have millions of dollars...do you? Even if you were legally right, they could drag you through so many court actions you would be bankrupt if they wanted to. You want to take that chance over a domain that has little to no value? And Twitter isn't going to buy the domain and put porn on...get with the real world.

sale.pics $5k
share.pics $3K
edit.pics $2900
Don't you think that are good sell.

Please quote me on me acting like a tough guy.
As far as twitter goes you must not understand the metaphorical reference.
Do you not see the contradiction in your post? If a company like Facebook is going after something (Domain) then there is definitely a value in it. Otherwise, there would be no point in taking action against a domain. It's not about me not having the money to fight a legal fight. It's about the money Facebook would lose and the publicity they would have if news go out that they're picking on a small guy like they have record of doing so. If you read my last post you would see that Facebook has actually stopped this practice because it's just bad publicity.

I really liked the way you think @rtist

And what makes you think Facebook is going to go after it or even care? And even if they did go after you, they likely wouldn't do it because it has actual value, but because they wanted to protect their brand. Big difference. And do you have anything to backup your statement that Facebook will no longer sue anyone? But more importantly, it's like you want to pick a fight with them for some reason? You sit here talking about them picking on you...when it seems to me like you are picking on them? You know clear as day you only registered it because of Facebook...therefore you are taking advantage of their brand. And trust me, if Facebook sued you into bankruptcy over this domain, they wouldn't be losing much money at all...and a fight over a domain usually doesn't make headlines, so there wouldn't be too much bad publicity either. But hey, if you want to take that chance, that's on you.

Why dont you offer it to FB as gift?

 

[kite26]

Build a website with lovely football pics and THAT'S YOUR WAY!

Nothing makes me think FB is going to care. I never said FB was going to care. you my friend have assumptions 4days. No, I do not have anything to back up my statement that FB will not go after the domain. I never said it wouldn't go after the domain. I said they've stopped the practice. I'm not a wizard sir I don't know what a company isn't going to do or what it is going to do. I never said they were picking on me

You know clear as day you only registered it because of Facebook

No. I don't know. No one does. My finger just floated over to godaddy
Trust you? yeah... ooooookkkkkk lol

@rtist if you ask for an appraisal you should take into consideration that you can receive various advices

sale.pics $5k
share.pics $3K
edit.pics $2900
Don't you think that are good sell.

These are decent sell for decent domain hacks.
But an extension with 9 reported sales, the highest one for 5K, is not an extension I'd like to invest, unless I can find a real premium for a cheap price (i.e. Holiday.pics for 100$).

Thank you very much. I saw those but even the minimum would be a 200% profit
I think i'll hold onto it for a while Thanks for the appraisal!

I think you should check this script out. https://www.socialengine.com/

http://buzzflight.onsocialengine.com/?_ga=1.191768813.692872507.1485180158
You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
I've installed this script on 4 sites last year alone.
I can install the same script on fb.pics without a problem
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=About+Trademark+Infringement
^- there's some more info for you.

It is obvious I don't know what am I talking about especially if this statement is made by a user with 19 posts and joined yesterday.
I am speechless about the way you think.
What does the script have to do with what I said? Facebook is not the only social network. Also that is not the only script that exist....
Glad to know you spent $1.2k last year Of course you can install the script on that domain. <sigh> I give up. Go live in your own bubble, but don't bother us next time.

lol don't bother us? You're the one posting on my thread. No one told you to come be a know it all
I'm glad I left you speechless. Hopefully I left you with at least an ounce of knowledge of what a real trademark infringement is. I'm glad you're able to look at this site's stats. I'm not sure where you got that I spent 1.2k tho. (Assumptions 4days). If someone pays me to build a house i'm not going to pay for the wood to build it (Hope you understand that metaphor). So i'm not sure how you got that i'd be paying for the script. I build sites, software for sites, buy sites, and sell sites for a living. I work from home. (That's how i'm able to reply all day to these posts) - I just recently signed up for this site for skits and giggles.

I hope your inability to learn from people doesn't prevent you from making a decent income. I bid you farewell my friend.

Regardless of the TM issue, it's obvious you bought the domain solely because facebook owns "fb" in multiple extensions, and you're hoping they'll make you an offer. If this is your method to domain name investing, you already have and will continue to fail. Scan through other appraisal threads and you'll see bozos doing the "*****.com sold for $5k, how much is *****.estate worth?" dance. When everyone tells them it's worthless, they get defensive. There are so many domainers on here who are incapable of learning how the business actually works and they're hoping for the day their god awful domains magically become valuable. Don't become one of them.

If you build websites for a living, then I'd develop something non-facebook related on the domain. Wait out the 2 years and hope for some interest. The domain itself isn't impressive enough to attract much without something of substance like a website. Best of luck
