Take a look at trademarks for Zillow and derivatives: http://bit.ly/jrJ8v

Zillow could argue that your domain is confusingly similar and violates their trademark. They are probably offering you a few hundred bucks because it would cost more than that for them to send you a cease and desist.

Not sure how much you can squeeze out of them given this.




I don't agree, but in most cases where its cheaper to pay for a domain then go through the courts that magic number is around $3000.
