discuss 3D Showcase, Discussion, and Confirmed Sales Sightings

[shane mac]

Just curios how the market is for these domains right now.

I ran into this little gem from the guy arguably responsible for the initial 3D domain hype...

http://twitter.com/3dDomainNames
Very Cool Site I found, discussing Future Trends In Domaining.... DestinysWeb.com everything from 3d, augmented reality, holographic..etc..
9:27 AM Aug 29th via web


The site is behind whois guard, but nobody else deals in that very specific combination of domains. He obviously made it himself in a bid to help sell his domains behind fictitious "third party" support.

Is this not one of the lamest things you've ever seen in domaining?

death, taxes and your negative comments in a 3d thread are the things we can rely on in life, but after a while they lose their impact i suggest

yes some nice 3D sales there - it shows some people at least are taking 3D technology seriously.
the 3D experts claim its only the massive bandwidth requirements (currently 50MBPS max) holding-back 3D/holographic streaming via the web, which is where 3D domains will come into their own.

I think most interesting to watch are the domains purchased in the great 3D domain rush from late last year to earlier this year.
.........
This is a very disappointing list considering how many were registered during that period.

By the same token, if you took all the names registered by NP members in a year, or ten, and compared that number to the total number of domain names sold, in a year, or ten... you could make the same yawner of a point:

Only a small percent of names reg'd will sell.

The dif with 3D names is regs spiked, due to techno-cultural market factors, so the time frame to reach a critical mass market number is far more compact.

While this hype-spike buy-binge appears to have upset some, rest assured this market's buy-sell numbers will curve-out in time.

Yet you can't escape them.

Reality always takes over.

Too many domainers are dreaming about the nice sales they will be making tomorrow, but they don't even bother to study and look at what sells today. Because they think they know it all.
I really think it's harder to predict the future when you are oblivious to the past and present.

this thread is same old same old , some with their heads in the sand and some looking beyond the horizon ....... at the end i guess some folk can't see beyond their nose

I don't think that "death" loses its impact

But I think it's a shame that all these 3d threads end up where they end up. They all make fun of the same guy .. and it's not nice.

It's a shame because I think that DestinysWeb is a nice domain for a blog... and the guy can obviously build an interesting enough site.

I think between his hyperbole (and he gets overexcited, no doubt) and the needless slamming of his credentials - it's the same old tired stuff.

What did I learn in this thread? There's a market for good names. There are yaysayers and naysayers and no one like 3ddomainnames.

Yup. Bout sums it up.

 

[DnEbook]

i thought his site looked good , nothing wrong with being proactive when trying to sell your names , 3d or otherwise

 

[eyedomainous]

Too many domainers are dreaming...

Domainers are the dream weavers of the web.

Sometimes the dream is the sale.

Sometimes the dream is "The Site".

Sometimes a name does not have to sell to have value.

A domainer dream is worth every reg penny.

 

[exsedo]

3D domains are already starting to show potential as the lists of sales clearly prove.
Even clicks on some of my names have increased in the past couple of months. It is still early in the game for this niche, but I have not lost faith.


Get back on topic guys. The usual suspects are posting here with the same agenda as before. ie. to get the thread closed.

 

[shane mac]

Lets see what happens over the next few months. If the end users keep pushing the "3D" when they advertise then these domains will gain in value. If they lose the "3D" then people won't search for 3D.

I live in the Uk and I can tell you that almost every large retailer or supplier is pushing the 3D sig, so lets see.

Everyone is pushing 3D, but nobody is actually selling 3D...

"3-D TV sales grow limp"
http://technology.canoe.ca/2010/10/14/15690196.html

The article also mentions that 41% of flat panels sold in 2014 may be 3D capable. Domainers holding out for critical mass are going to be holding for several years, maybe a decade.

i thought his site looked good , nothing wrong with being proactive when trying to sell your names , 3d or otherwise

I don't really have a problem with the site. If he believes those areas are great investments, then he can make sites to pump them all he wants.

The ridiculous part was putting the site behind whois guard and then presenting it to domainers as a third party opinion that we should buy his domains. He must think we are stupid.

 

[futuretaster]

maybe 3D TV sales are limp because currently their arnt that many services broadcasting in 3D, the infrastructure isnt yet in place to accomodate it over the internet either. so .3D's are obviously a long-term investment

I dont think he is trying to fool you , considering you have made it obvious you don't like 3d names why would he be trying to fool you ? what he does with his website really shouldn't worry anyone , i think the question is why are you looking into things like whois and then then openly commenting on them in a forum ......what is your agenda i wonder ???

sky.com/shop/tv/3d/

3d.sky.com/pubfinder/

Considering their interest in 3D it makes you wonder why they are not using sky3d.com which they also own, it goes nowhere

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if the market has peaked in terms of speculator interest, and I really doubt anyone has made money when all the reg fees are added up. We are already getting the stories of families who have wasted thousands on 3d tv's in Australia. Expect dropfest in one years time.

Funny how one movie (avatar) can spur all this. From what I know of it the 3d revolutions was supposed to happen many times in the past, going back to the 1950's, then in the late 70's, again in the late 80's and again now. Every time it supposedly different, technology has advanced so far it is now really viable....ok.

I don't think anyone really wants to be sitting in front of their tv wearing glasses, I'm not sure they even want to see 3d images apart from the occasional novelty movie.

How about smellovision next?

Lastly I doubt anyone cares if the thread is closed or not.

so .3D's are obviously a long-term investment

Same thing was said about 3g and voip domains. How long is long, wait 10years and hope for the best?

3d is much accepted by the critical mass and this time around there is a whole new generation of gamers licking their lips at the prospect of playing games on their big screen 3d tvs , to write off 3d tv at this point is one of the sillier things i have read lately, we all know that this industry in in its infancy as many older tv shows are in the process of being converted to the 3d format to keep up with the demand for content , more and more sporting events are being screened in 3d as a sign of the times

As for this thread being closed down i am not too fussed either because i dont feel the need to convince anyone of my viewpoint but some of the predicable comments show strange reasons for being here in this thread

At the end of the day the sun will go down and come up again tomorrow so its all good in my part of the world

 

[exsedo]

Thats interesting about people having wasted money on 3d tvs in Australia, what is the problem there ? is it faulty equipment ?
I noticed on g00gle insights that most interest in 3d is shown as UK, Australia and Europe.

I may have posted this before, but my take on why the really big push on the term 3D has not happened yet is to allow manufacturers and retailers to deplete their stockpile of non-3D appliances. Sony say they are expecting the big times for 3D in the home will be 2012.

I agree with your prediction of dropfest come renewal time, but not because of the failure of 3D, it will be because newbies, and even established domainers, registered the wrong type of domains during the initial hype.

You are spot-on with that comment!

The story was about people who have been sold an expensive gimmick.

-Equipment that isn't practical to use.
-Limited content.
-Not something that people most would use regularly beyond the first week even if the above two problems were solved.

Beyond 3dglasses, 3dtv etc (obvious stuff that works) it is all wrong, 99.99% is names make little sense but people will hope will somehow become popular terms, eg 3dpastimes.com, 3dvirtualgoods.com, 3dtabletop.com, 3dminisites.com, why would people pay for names like that?

What is the hope here domainers will want mini sites developed where people need to buy special glasses to see the adsense ads?
