The long saga of the Brooklyn Nets not owning the prime domain has taken another weird turn.
When you currently click on Nets.com, you're redirected to this eBay page – featuring an old photo of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban – selling the domain name for $10,200.
Who could benefit from a .COM domain name as exclusive and as premium as nets.com? Just a few thoughts...
Perhaps you are a tech start-up with a need for a fantastic domain name to get you off the ground?
Are you one of the major players on the planet in the routing and/or networking equipment business?
Maybe you are the proprietor of the world's preeminent manufacturer of tennis court nets? Fishnets? Volleyball nets? Goalpost nets?
Do you have a great idea for the next big social networking site and need a great domain name to bring it all together?
Or, maybe you just happen to have a basketball team of the same name?
Whatever the case may be, this is your opportunity to become the proud new owner of a rare gem of a domain name... A genuinely premium one.
nets.com
Good luck.

The Nets have never owned Nets.com. Since 1994, the domain has been registered to a computer systems firm in New Mexico. In 2012, Forbes reported the company would be willing to part with the domain for $5 million. The Nets ignored the request.
That 2012 price should warn buyers – Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov in particular – that the $10,2000 starting bid on eBay is just that: the floor of negotiations. The auction page does have the bidding box flagged as "reserve not met."
