Register to stop seeing this ad!

Do a search for mahindra truck on ebay.

(do it quickly as it is an auction!)

All laughter aside, you gotta admire the person for his/her foresight...

I don't get it... Are you talking about the domain squatter?

[pee wee]

uh-oh, now Mahindra knows about them and it's lawyer time! Sic-em, big guy! How dare them have ownership of a site whose name incorporates the letters that make up the word Mahindra. I pity the fool . . . no, wrong comic strip.

You can't register domains with the idea of reselling them. That is called Cybersquatting and is illegal.

The one legitimate case still lead to the guy losing his pants. A guy named Uzi Nissan owns a business called Nissan Computers and started the web site nissan.com. When Nissan motors found out (they started a web site three years after Uzi did), they sued him. Uzi Nissan eventually won, but only recouped a small portion of his attorney fees.

I was aiming for the irony...

Whomever it is who has "squatted" on those domain names probably does not have a chance in H-E-double-toothpicks in making any money...

Then again, it may be just an elaborate ebay joke.

Somebody ocasionally slips one by on ebay...

Not quite that simple. Domain speculation (such as what the Ebay seller is doing) is perfectly legal and quite common. Cybersquatting would involve registering someone else's trade marked name... IE - Someone other than M&M registering Mahindra.com would be illegal, since Mahindra is protected by a federal trademark.
