Buying domains just to flip

[PostUp]

I bought an EMD last night that is a slight misspelling of a popular video game product. My hope is that the company, or a seller, may want to buy the domain from me for redirection purposes.

Do I have to set up anything on the domain, stick it on flippa, or what do I do? I have no experience in flipping sites.

Fixed that for ya.

How is it infringement if it is misspelled? Google and gaggle are not the same.

But you intend to misspelling Google.

Would be different if you use the domain for something else apart than Google products.

What if I don't do anything with the domain at all?

List it for sale on as many websites as possible. Find a buyer if you think it's valuable.

I believe companies can legally take the site if it's their name. Don't quote me on that though. Your situation seems to be in the gray area.

To answer your question I don't believe there will be a market for it really, I would just get your refund.
