by Dykwia
10 replies
I own a good drdre domain for about a decade now, never monetized it. I'd like to sell beats by dre headgear on it by referring to stores. Do you know of any good ones? Amazon excluded, they do not have links to the products itself.

Thanks

    Especially Dr. Dre. He's constantly suing and being sued. You're asking for trouble.

    He would love for you to build a new marketing channel for his business though!

    Really? You cannot sell his products through any affiliate network?
    Might be the reason why Amazon doesn't offer links to these products though.

    We had links up to his albums for years though, never had any trouble whatsoever (but never actively promoted it either).

    Cheers.

    It's not so much the products, it's having his name in a domain. People will assume you're him.

    You can resell his products if he gives you the rights to or you can find a supplier. Walmart does it.

      Just make sure you have a slush fund for legal and attorney fees (just in case) if you go with that plan. The good news, you do it anyway and Dr. Dre's people never know you exist ... but then again neither will your market.

      Unsolicted Advice: There's a lot of easier (non-infringement) ways to make a buck.

    You can buy them in bulk from DhGate then resell them on eBay.

      He'd have to buy enough to beat Walmart on price though, like 18 Wheeler truck bulk.

        Thanks for the heads up, all.
        The name is indeed good, but as said, tricky. 5 letters, toplevel.

        We did actually offer it to them for only lower $xxx to just get what we paid in the past. No reply. No C&D either.

        I've been in this business for 19 years now, not by infringing rights of others, so I might not go that way. We bought it as a fanpage early 00's.

        Since we're 'cleaning up', this domain came to my attention and thus the question.

        Thanks again.

    There was somebody here locally selling the chinese knockoff Dre Beats and making a killing. He would buy the in ear dre beats for less than $20 and re sell for about $75-100. And get the studios for $150 and sell for $300.

    But unfortunately he was caught.

    Id stay away.

    If I get offers from someone who wants to buy the domain, SELL IT. Take the money and move on to something else.
