Its probably fraudulent. The pictures posted aren't even of a BoyToy Doll.

Also, even though the majority of the transactions have a good rating, the comments are less than sterling.



Matt, any word on this?

[femdoll]

Well BoyToyDoll or BoyToyDolls.... what's in tha name...

The link boytoydoll.com links to CandyEighteen website.... so... it's probably better to ask Itsme if he knows about this....

[R]

It appears that they are peddling a dot com, not a doll. only in America !

It's Itsme using the BT name to increase traffic on his site :
"This name www boytoydoll dot com is giving me 500 to 600 hits a day right now."

Stef is right the www.boytoydoll.com will right now go to my sight.


If you go to www. candy18. com it will no take you to my sight.
If you go to www. realdolls. com it wil not take you to Realdoll

Buying and selling dot com names is a business in it self.

Some say that having bad spelling is a bad thing.
~At one time~ Its still works some now. You could type in mis spelled words on ebay and buy dimond rings (Diamond rings) and win them cheap. (spotster) this is a mis spelled word that has made money for
me.

Back to the boytoydoll name
I don't think it will sell right now. The name is not know yet.
friend finder is one of the bigest doman name buyers of names that attach them selfs to other sights.

You have to own the name 1st.

Educate yourself some from this post.
Making fun of it is ok. I just think you should take something a way from it. That may help you.

You may think its funny, But you may want to learn something from this.
My hole life I never had a job I did not want to do for long a week at the most. Most people hate there jobs, hate mondays and cant wait for the weekend.

I live my live in a weekend set of mind.

The typos from people putting in www. boytoy .com looking for Mats new doll has over loaded that sight. I tryed to buy that name. thay email me back and toled me there was no way they would sell out.

Most of us don't stay its goes to a fag sight.

[BelShanar]

Thanks for clearing this up everyone!

Now that we know that the ebay listing is not for real I am going to close this thread.

[Bill]

Itsme just notified me that he is the one who is selling the domain name on Ebay. It is his auction so bid away to get it.
You could link it to your blog and run your hit meter up.
I'm going to unlock it because it is a legitimate auction but itsme didn't start this topic so I'm not going to move it to the For Sale forum. The topic owner can request that it be moved or removed.

I agree Bill, and PM'd BelShanar as such. I feel its a little rude to do this to a fellow TDF member and manufacturer but it is a legitamate business practice. It is done every day with all sorts of related or misspelt popular domain names. It's up to Matt to decide if he wants to buy up related names or doesn't think he will lose any worthwile traffic.
My grandfather, who did well, always said "you will never get ahead working for someone else". I'm stuck in a dumb factory! itsme is a free spirit! I envy him.

Thanks Nam.
Please don't down your job. It still take care of you.
I am from E-Boston and the chelsea area.
I know what its like to work. I never liked it. I took big risks quiting good paying jobs, just for I did not like them. I worked in Hood milk making The bottles is the early 80s and was making 10.00hr at that time it was great money. I left to make candles for 4.25 hr just to learn the trade.



Buying and selling .com names is a pass time of mine.
Some of you may not like it. But this is a business all in it self.
This is not personal it is a way to feed my family.
Buying and selling .com name along with typos on e-bay is a nice way for someone to make money
without a lot of physical labor . You can do this from your desk job.

They sell book on what I am saying here.

I see two issues with this auction.

First, registering a domain name that is similar to someone else's for the purpose of stealing traffic is called typosquatting, which is not just a sleazy thing to do, but also may be illegal under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. If Matt has a trademark on the "Boy Toy Dolls" name, he can sue for damages and take the domain name.

Second, you've copied artwork from Matt's website and used it in your auction.



You've slightly modified it but it is still an obvious ripoff of Matt's artwork.

I suspect you'll be getting a cease and desist letter soon.
