It was a very original and very promessing .com 4resale. Since then, and very quickly, I learnt how to protect myself from all and any registrar.
Here is the legal safe way to proceed.
First go to Who.is and register your domain with Google. $5.99.
Google (as a third party) is not interested in (making money) the domain name aftermarket. It's not their primary business. It's only a genuine service they offer.
Then, after you have acquired ownership from name.com (Google), you can tranfer it 4resale to any account you may be holding with any other "commercial" registrar. And that particular registrar (godaddy, networksolutions, sedo...), cannot take it away from you (sweep the carpet from under your feet), by pretending it was a "mistake" in the registration process, without further explaination given. Unless you are unfringing upon a trademark, nothing and nobody can ever take away your ownership of that .name by pretending it was "a mistake"....since you are not asking them and paying them for the initial registration of that domain name. That ownership was primarly establish somewhere else. legally, and fully paid for without contestation...end of the story.
Plse keep in mind that intellectual property theft has been a big business for a long long long time.
Hope that will help you at some point in your business.
Let's not be naive!! One day, you may have a .name worth a million dollar!
