Domain- Question? of niceness>lol

[STINEHART]

Ok.. A year ago a shooting club didnt answer their email I sent them, their website was out of date and lo and behold the domain was expiring. SO a few months later sur eenough it expired and I registered it.
I made a simple forum for members to get in touch with each other,, mild traffic, but dwindled.
So I checked out the gun club adn they had changed their domain name slightly and added.org now. I emailed teh pres and vice pres adn offered the domain no strings free.
That was 2 months ago. 1 month ago I got an email that they would like it back, and I called them and said its unlocked, heres the code, its at godaddy, heres my info, fine.
So Its a month now. And I am stil getting godaddys yoru domain is cancelling emails 4 times a day..lol and kinda pissed.
I'm going to be nice and call and try to contact their guy one more time.. oh,, I did send him an emal explaining they need to hurry up and how long the cancel out process is if it expires 2 weeks ago.

Should I let it expire, or pay the 8bucks and put some google ads on it, im sure over a year it will pay for itself a few times over..
But if I do that should I then be a prick about giving it up. I gave a real effort to help them and at no cost.
Grrr. anyhoo. I am not a squatter and am making a killing of affiliate marketing right now,, great biz to be in..(learning)

You've made the effort to contact them and received little in return, so if they miss out on the opportunity it's their own fault. I would keep sending your email once a day for the next 2 weeks and if they don't respond or seem like they're dragging their feet, then put it on the market for sale to the highest bidder (or however it works).

Keep a record of all transactions in case of problems later down the line.
