Exclamation Yahoo.is for Sale !!

Just checked eBay and saw that Yahoo.is is up for sale at a starting price of $100,000

eBay Link

Big TM issue ofcourse! I would not buy it! (I also don't have that kind of money lol) But yahoo can take it back at anytime!

Here is what he said about the possible trademark issue:

"This domain is not related to Yahoo! inc., the yahoo.com website or the registered trademark Yahoo! but Yahoo! inc. have shown their interest in opening a data center in Iceland so they might be after the yahoo.is domain soon."

Yes, I agree immense TM issue. That's probably why he is selling it now. If Yahoo wants to get .is then they won't pay for it, they'll sue you or get it off you. Or else he would be crazy selling it now.

Don't buy it ! Yahoo! will come after your ass

And if you are unlucky you are making a big loss with it (court costs etc)
