Today: How domain trademark disputes work / Using automated appraisals for domain tax deductions / Whois disappearing could mean trouble / And more!

Here are the new discussions that caught my eye in the domain community today:

Whop.co – I’m not really a .co ccTLD fane, but this one is a short four-letter pronounceable. Does that mean it has some value? What would you appraise it for?

Is this sort of behavior common in auctions nowadays? – Have you ever seen this type of activity in domain name auctions before? It seems odd and I can see where it can be frustrating for bidders.

ChatMessages.com – What kind of value do you think a domain like ChatMessages.com has in today’s chat related domain markets?

Using automated appraisals for domain tax deductions – Is this even possible? Does the government even recognize automated appraisal value when it comes to filing taxes?

How domain trademark disputes work – Have you ever been through a trademark dispute with one of your domain name assets? If so, share your experience with it so others can be more prepared.

Whois disappearing could mean trouble – What is your opinion when it comes to all the talk about whois information on domains being masked automatically? Will anonymity be better for you or will not knowing who the domain owner making things more difficult?

Less equals more when listing domain names at marketplaces – How do you feel about that? Do your odds of making a sale increase with more information or less information in your marketplace sales listing?
