Woo! Finally something that made me comment on HN after years of lurking. I invest in domains and spend way too much time looking at them. Is the domain a common dictionary word? Very few names sell for 7 figures. As an example cowboy.com recently sold for $70k and panda.com reportedly sold for mid six figures... Even if the media company bas a trademark they can't just take it for nothing, they'd need to file a UDRP which costs a few thousand dollars.
Some brokers that would be worth reaching out to if the name really is top quality:

All of them are well respected in the industry and have experience selling names at the highest level.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions
- tudelo 7y agoIs finding domains to invest in a manual process or are there various tools that you employ? (not asking for the secret sauce, just wondering logistically).
- joshwa 7y agoHey I can't actually PM you but my email is in my profile. It's a super-common dictionary word and is the brand of a very-well-known media company. (my friend has a local business that's been an active and legit user of the name since 1994, and will have to give up serious local SEO/brand value to sell)
