Last month, we let everyone know TrumpPlaza.com was about to drop; the former domain of Donald Trump‘s now defunct hotel expired in December.
That’s after more than 21 years, as it was a 1995 registration – at the very dawn of the commercial Internet.
The domain was caught by drop-catching service, Pheenix, and a bidding war ensued.
TrumpPlaza.com received a top bid of $4,010 dollars which sounds foolish for a domain with potential trademark issues.
Then again, not every domain investor is playing by the rules, it seems.
While we aren’t sure if there would be a UDRP on the domain, we would not touch it with a 10ft pole made in Moscow!
