Domain sale legality?
If I purchased an expired web domain in which trademark or copyright was not an issue, could I legally sell it back to the original owner at a profit? Say if they offered to buy it back? Could I face any legal repercussion?
Note: This question is for research purposes. Please provide a source for your answer if possible.

Unless this kind of thing is expressly forbidden by the service provider's terms and conditions, there's no reason this should be problem.
Source(s): Take a look at the ISP's terms and conditions. Search for "sale" or "transfer" in the language. - Nuff SedLv 71 decade ago
Domain names are not actually "property" -- they are managed as contractual rights with a distributed registry. You can buy and sell your contract rights to the extent they are not pre-empted by other terms and conditions of your registrar. For instance, there may be a prioritized waiting list for others who want to own the right to use a particular name, and transfer to any other owner would be blocked by the registry.
