Everyone knows who John Chow is and how popular his website johnchow.com is. I registered chowjohn.com to use as a parody site but never got around to it. I don't think I ever even parked it. But it's slightly seasoned and it's for sale.

Anyone interested, make me an offer. Needs to be sold before 3/5/2008

i'll just wait until it expires on 06-mar-2008. but then again, John Chow may sue for trademark stuff if i do buy/register it.

haha well you can buy it and then renew it right?

It's not going to expire. I will, obviously, renew the registration if I must but I'm trying to sell it prior to having to do that. The $7 isn't a big deal to keep it in my name.

Domain has been sold.

I hope they didn't pay too much, that site has no Page Rank and 0 back links to it. it's worthless. However, I suppose if you can get around the potential lawsuit, you could probably monetize it.

1. You obviously know nothing about copyright law.

2. I wasn't asking for very much and they got a fair price.

3. Are you aware that many domains auctioned for hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars don't have any PR or Backlinks? Those aren't the only criteria giving value to a domain name.

In no way am I saying this domain was worth a substantial amount of money like that - but the principal is the same.
