Domain Sold for $250k. Anyone actually make some decent $$$ selling domains?

what if you bought the domain name way before any type of trademark/brand (in this instance the video game) was created? Do they still have legal rights to go after your domain?

Not usually, no, unless you do something with the domain to infringe on their business. When people register a company in an attempt to steal an older domain through an IP/trademark type case case it's known as reverse hijacking. It usually doesn't work, but every now and then someone gets lucky and is awarded the domain.

The story of Klout's initial domain acquisition:

The story of how Klout.com’s domain was purchased. Joe had tried for a long time to convince the owner to sell the domain but the owner wanted too much money. Eventually he saw the owner of klout.com domain checkin to a restaurant in San Francisco, he went to the restaurant with an envelop filled with $5,000 in cash and made the owner a offer he couldn’t refuse. The owner accepted and Joe opened his laptop and transferred the domain to his account while they sat there.

We should do a sub forum for domain buy and sell

I am surprised that this hasn't been done already. It would be such a great addition.
