A friend from namepros.com forum created 2 months ago a nice site aimed to domainers. BQB.com is the first site of its kind, it is made by domainers and for domainers, it’s basically an auction place where transactions are made for free but still in a high level of security. Check it it out:
I received an email from ICANNRESOLVE.com that appears and is a scam, they ask for your personal info about some domain names you registred, do not reply or follow the link they are giving.
Here’s the email:

A fellow member of a famous board is giving reasons why LL-L.com and L-LL.com are the best investment today:
1. There is less than a third of each one of these domains still available to register.
2. L-LL and LL-L searches each return more Google results than LLL and L-L-L searches (try it)
3. Having the hyphen does not negatively affect search rankings
4. Premiums and words of these can be purchased on the aftermarket for $10-50
5. In terms of functionality, these shouldn’t be that much less desirable than an LLLL.com
Because of those reasons, these things are selling fast.
The only problem for the buyout is that there is really no need or desire for Q-XV.com or XV-Q.com; however, because of the scarcity of them dropping, these are bound to get regged up soon.
Let’s get these things sold out!
Last coupon code to get a 66% discount at Eurodns.com for .BE domains
the coupon code:
BE4U
gets you a nice discount.
So, it’s been 2 months that 4 letters .com are stucked at the same prices. When they will rise again, all LLLL.coms defensors predicted a quick and constant move up, but it appears it’s not here. I personally stay confident that it will grow again but the market needs to breath a little, before taking the move up again, particularly with the new boyouts of last weeks: L-L-L.coms, L-LL.com and LL-L.com and premium LLLL.nets.
In a couple of days the 4 letters .COM domain with a hyphen in the middle LL-L or L-LL will all be sold. Catch the remaining onces till it’s not too late. I strongly beleive their value will rise a lot after the buyout. Today around 5,000 of each L-LL .com and LL-L.com remain unregistred, catch your chance today!
Ever been afraid of a name you registred that is trademarked? It’s a good idea to do a trademark search even before you register your domain name, since domain registrars are not obligated to check if a requested name violates an existing trademark. In other words, getting the domain name you request says nothing about whether it will conflict with someone else’s trademark. And if you do receive a domain name that creates a trademark conflict, you could lose the right to it if the trademark owner takes legal action against you.
Here’s an useful link to check out if it is registred in the US or UK.

Should I Trademark My Name?
Trademark infringement existed before the Internet, but the ease of registering domain names has increased the challenges of trademark rights. Because anyone from high school students to multi-million dollar corporations can register domain names at little expense, it may be a good idea to register your name if you feel it could be threatened by a cybersquatter.
This is especially true for people whose names are also their profession, like actors, car dealers, even fashion designers. Designer Ralph Lauren has had his name trademarked since 1972 for added protection. Fashion designer Donna Karan found her trademark useful when she fell victim to a dispute over her name. A man unknown to her, Richard Wilson, had registered the domain name www.dkny.biz. Karan had already owned www.dkny.com and www.donnakaran.com, and filed suit with the WIPO stating Wilson registered the domain name in bad faith. The WIPO panel agreed with Karan, requiring the domain name to be transferred from Wilson to The Donna Karan Company.
How to Trademark a Name
Anyone whose name also identifies a business or profession should consider trademarking their actual name. If you are considering establishing a trademark for your name, you should first perform a trademark search with LegalZoom or by going to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) Web site at www.uspto.gov , to determine if it is claimed as a mark by someone else. The USPTO reviews trademark applications for federal registration and determines whether an applicant meets the requirements for federal registration.
