I just bought Flippa.im

[williecity]

The fact is that i could actually create a full Flippa alternative for selling websites.
As long as i do not use their logo and copy their site word for word.

Flippa is a word.

If anyone is interested in developing this, send me P.M

On the other hand i have launched something interesting, so go and check it out www.Flippa.im
I want to outsource the service too, so pm me

 

[SmileAtmyWins]

Actually i can do anything i want with this domain. They don't care for it

Hi,
I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do, Flippa is a trademark which forbids you to allow the domain on Flippa and we're not looking to expand the domains we currently own.

Flippa Customer Support

Note, the representative from their support said "FLIPPA IS A TRADEMARK". On top of that, you were stupid enough to contact them and try and sell them a name that already belongs to them. Just wait for the Cease & Desist letter to come in the mail.

You are actually thinking about making a Flippa clone on that domain? You think it's a overnight work to setup those features? It took us 8 months of developing and a hell lot of $$$ so good luck, i believe in you.

Thread of the day for sure.

 

[siihihi]

Nice
I would put that into 9gag but nobody is going to understand that :'D

wow, your confidence is funny, other than that the idea is retarded

i wonder how much people has to tell you, that you gonna get in shit, least is that flippa will ask you through lawyers to please hand over the site

 

[williecity]

You people are actually all very funny, and you call yourself Black Hat

Flippa.im is my property. I bought it with my money and i own it.

Now there is a another popular website called Flippa.com but the name is only similar to Flippa.im.

Whatever i do with the domain is only my own business. as long as i am not copying anyone.

Now selling of website is not just a right of 1 person or companies, so i could sell websites.

The only thing that will be wrong is if i copy all their content and logo and call it mine.

Sweet. Good luck with that.

Be sure to keep us updated when Flippa takes "your" domain name from you.

Sorry you didn't find the chearleaders you were looking for on BHW. The rest of us know it's a losing battle and thought we'd tell you before hand. But, your hard head will get the best of you.

lol

Yes.

Now there is a another popular website called Flippa.com but the name is only similar to Flippa.im.

No. You bought it with a purpose to get traffic and make money on their successful business & copyrighted trademark "FLIPPA".

Whatever i do with the domain is only my own business. as long as i am not copying anyone.

Yes, as long as you dont mention anything related to flippa or selling websites.

Now selling of website is not just a right of 1 person or companies, so i could sell websites.

?????

The only thing that will be wrong is if i copy all their content and logo and call it mine.

Not only that.

If you would have a website like williecity.com and have the same content as now, promoting flippa listings...probably you would get away, and it would be BH because of using different methods to spam twitter/fb with their site's link.






I give up

 

[biggestslaps]

Good for you but you might have to watch out. Flippa could be protected and you could have your domain turned over.

 

[CloneX]

OP just wasted $11.

 

[Dumper]

You contacted Flippa? LMAO! Genius!

Actually i can do anything i want with this domain. They don't care for it

don't worry guys, very soon you will be selling your sites on Flipper.im

Cheaper rates roud:

 

[AnotherOne]

I have suggestions for you:
1. Move to Sweden
1.1 Open your own domain registration company and move that flippa.xx domain to your own company and do whatever you want with that domain

2. Attack or form a new country. Give it a name like "Flippa" or "im" and buy all famous website's (Google, Yahoo, Facebook etc) domains.



Am I retarded? (No?)
If you think you can 'sell' them their 'trademark' then you're welcome to follow above suggestions.

 

[qrazy]

You seem to be very ignorant. You seem to think that people here are jealousy about the domain you bought. Take sometime to read some terms like "trademark infringement", "cybersquatting", etc... before you invest any money or effort into the site which goes absolutely waste. There are many cases where the big companies sues the weaker ones over the trademark and you won't be able to defend it because of the lack of financial support.

It's matter of time before Flippa acts. So better focus on something else other than wasting your time with this domain and calling for trouble.

Actually you might want to sound dumb intentionally but if i registered a google.anycounty.

Google will buy it. Because they want to keep the house in order.

Flippa does not care about such, and they don't own most of the other related extensions.

 

[_Chip_]

This guy is unbelievable lolzz..
dude.. go read about copyright infringement before doing anything 'smart'.

 

[williecity]

Because a lot of you on this site do secret black hat stuff that most remain hidden, it reflects in your judgement.

Many are crying that i contacted Flippa? heck i wanted to list the thing on Flippa for the fun factor.

I can do ANYTHING with the site as long as i created it or used some open source script.
design my own logo

do everything with my own creative in my own intellectual capacity and even trademark and copyright my work.

 

[qrazy]

Wow.. You're truly incredible... subscribed to the thread. Keep us updated

Google will ALSO send you C&D email/letter instead of BUYING (that) google.anycountry domain from you. Please read/search 'What is Copyright all about' and 'What is trademark infringement'.


Oh! and all I did was followed your attitude that's all
