Florida company buys domain that it tried to get through UDRP.
Green Roads of Florida, LLC has purchased the domain name GreenRoads.com for $160,000 after failing to win it in a cybersquatting dispute.
The CBD company filed a UDRP with World Intellectual Property Organization in October, 2018. In January, the three-person panel found in favor of the domain owner. One of the panelists found reverse domain name hijacking.
Green Roads had tried to withdraw the case after getting the complaint response from domain attorney John Berryhill, but the domain owner refused to allow this.
Now, nearly a year later, Green Roads has ponied up for the domain.
I wonder if it paid more for the domain than if it had taken the high* road to begin with?
*That’s high as in proper, not drugs.

Waoh, I was thinking that price should have been for greenroad.com and not greenroads.com since plurals dont sell for much as stated by some domainers. Funny how this sold for six figures, must be an outlier.
I suppose the seller raised the price after winning the UDRP, buyer had no other choice (too late for negotiations now).
John Berryhill says
Special thanks to Uniregistry broker Vincent Baker for closing the deal.
Andrew Rosener says
Co-brokered with Andrew Rosener of MediaOptions, thank you very much!
Erich says
In this case, I would have never sold the domain.
Once somebody is threatening me with a lawyer or a UDRP, they have lost.
They will NEVER get a chance to get the domain-name, for as long as I live.

Might be hard to say, “No” if you had 6-figure offer.
Mike says
Whose domain was it? IMG, INC of Calabasas, California
B Pollock?
Mark Thorpe says
Hopefully Uniregistry made them pay more!
Green Jobs says
GreenJobs.com is looking like a better domain everyday.
AbdulBasit.com says

Mike says
Haha your still peddling this domain, years of spam, and no takers

Suspect they probably paid a significant “penalty” here. When I saw the price it seemed very high. Congrats to the sellers on coming out with a very good result of all of this.

Fantastic sale and congrats to seller! A lesson for the complainant/buyer. Deserves to pay this price.
