Assuming no one from Amiga Inc steps in to claim it, Amiga.com will go to auction.  You have to realise that while it is worthless as a computer domain the name "Amiga" means Female friend in both Portuguese and Spanish.  It could easily be worth a small fortune to a dating service or the infamous EspaƱol Lesbianas.

My guess:  minimum €25,000, maximum €250,000.  

This is big, a real word, in a big real language, in dot com.

In theory Hyperion could file a dispute with whomever wins the auction.  But I don't think the .com folks would be willing to overturn that hi priced an auction.  It just wouldn't happen.  

Alos nationality plays a part.  A "foreign" (from an American POV) firm has never won a dot Com battle with an American firm.  So if the winner of the auction were American then it wouldn't be worth Hyperion's time and energy to dispute it.  Hyperion isn't a successor to Amiga Inc (and wouldn't want to be considering the pile of debt they've built up), they've got very little claim to Amiga.com

They offered more than the US$10K that Wayne got for Amiga.org.  He didn't try to get them into a bidding war, but who knows how much they would pay for Amiga.com

My point is that the chief bidders for Amiga.com won't be computer users.

I was reading the whole thread just to see how long would it take for persia to talk about the spanish lesbians idea :D
It's always the same: a thread about Amiga Inc pops up here, and after four or five posts, persia comes up with the spanish lesbianas, hahahaha! :D

Fortunatelly for us spanish guys, there aren't many lesbians here... it's hard enough to get sex here already! don't give out girls any funny ideas! :D
