domains MetaFB.net sells for $30,000 at Sedo regged last month

[equity78]

The Meta train refuses to slowdown. MetaFB.net sold today for $30,000 at Sedo. Interestingly it was parked at DAN. The domain name was registered a little more than a month ago, 9/21/21 at GoDaddy. Congrats to the seller. MetaDating.net was registered at Dynadot two weeks ago and sold for $35,000 today at Sedo. I am surprised these nets are getting these prices on new handregs .io and .ai … [Read more...]

Someone bought my MetaPhysics.xyz for 2995.

 

[equity78]

Must be Facebook as the buyer?

 

[wwwulff]

Metafb.com also sold for $30.000 and was handregged 2021-07-30 - Crazy times, MetaFB is now regged in 470 extension according to dotDB

Can’t stand TM regs and sales. Black eye for everyone in the industry.

@Keith not to derail the thread, but are you into NFTs yet? I know you got crypto locked down, if you don’t own a BAyC ape yet, why don’t you? You got a great portfolio of digital assets, that be a great shining star to add to it.

I own zero nfts. They have become a status symbol but don’t perform a function. Watch for these apes to plummet in value…

I will say that the chain of sales is a great concept. If I made money on domains I used to own, each time they sold….wow!

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

Almost certainly not. Just another way to hype people up to buy rubbish... trademarked rubbish.

hate to burst your bubble, but uh yea you might may want to rethink your disagreement stance ….it’s looks silly to the “ones with a clue “

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

I'm not angry, insinuating that I am is just mean!!

As someone with a clue please shed some light on what it is exactly that you are refuting? Whether meta is a trademark of the owner of Facebook?

I changed the angry part
This isn’t the the same as Libra for one.

“Meta” has a prefix has long been used by many companies and brands.

meta has also been used on the internet and even .net since before you and I were in domains.

I can’t shed much light on things I or may not know, but just start with the basic 1o1 in domaining ……”FB” the fact half the people on this forum can’t wrap their heads around whom might spend that kind of money on keyword+FB is mind boggling. Lol thinking to hard.

Big brands do defensive buys all the time.

Dig around ask around, might find better answers, it’s easy to write everything off as bs when people don’t know or understand. Also maybe ones that do know aren’t at liberty to say …..


I tried to share my knowledge on NFTs months back, and got mocked here…so I don’t talk as much anymore, I just set back and laugh.

worlds changing. Internet, Online world is changing faster…..The Metaverse is coming, it’s going to happen, and it’s begun

Btw FB has set aside $10B to start building the Metaverse ..time’s money. Business is business

They also are not the only ones buying, so people should buckle up. The entire world and Internet want front seat in the action.

I spend most my times on discord, LinkedIn, Twitter, and others as such….not so much here anymore.

GL this is long

However FaceBook isn’t the only on in the game using FB apparently

Or perhaps Food Bank (just one generic example). Not trying to be clever.

 

[Amar D]

So we should register metaSomething.something and wait 30.000€ from fb?

 

[MadAboutDomains]

Libra anyone?

 

[johnn]

Just check with my wife, the buyer is not Facebook.

I like your passion for the subject and I think you probably just spoke too hastily in response to my original quite measured message.

I do not believe that Facebook would buy such rubbish domains, even if they do have deep pockets. Metafb.net - what an awful name. They're not just bad domains, but they don't need to "protect" domains as bad as this, they have protection already... they own fb.com and meta.com and they have trademark word marks for both "fb" and "meta".

It's not just this, but zuck doesn't talk about "meta", the keyword he keeps parroting is "metaverse" and the big buzzword is "metaverse". He could have had his pick of the bunch before he hinted at the name change and the metaverse.

I'm happy to eat my words if I am wrong.

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

agreed!
Meta names are ok (but must be aware of the financial ones related to MetaBank)

but meta is wide open to use

keyword +FB. Is no no

 

[Keith]

Respect you opinion. Kinda thought you'd be for it, so surprised

What do you think will happen to all the companies signing contracts with them?


Some of the biggest companies in the world of accepted NFTs

Gaming sports, Sotheby's you name it....

I own a few, and the communities are fire when it comes to resource knowledge tech its a whole new ecosystem.


Well I'm happy you've done well on bitcoin, you got that!

I think the space has amazing potential. Pros and cons must always be weighed.

For me, domains, specifically .com, are the best bet now.

Metafb.com also sold for $30.000 and was handregged 2021-07-30 - Crazy times, MetaFB is now regged in 470 extension according to dotDB

owner of this net sale probably would never regged it if he didnt see the com sale.

oh well..good call for him... too bad we didnt tink of it...who knew right..thats.domaining.

normally a sane avg domainer does not bother with useless keyword like metafb in useless net tld

so sometimes u got to be bit insane

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

Here I'll do it for you all

HL has been buying the names on behalf of FB


You can pay the $49 to the names tht start with "m"

but have fun at the "F"

@Red..I heard it through the grapevine from a friend of a friends dog that only 10% of all cases go the whole UDRP route...I may be wrong and perhaps someone can correct me...I'm sure they will. It gets interesting with the Apple vs Apple TM dispute or Nissan vs Nissan...good reference points

Rgrds,

[Reddstagg]

Those cases are genuine businesses that operate under the name though instead of random domainers regging domains to piggyback off their FB's new brand.

Facebook have a trademark for Meta and will I'm sure protect it to the full extent of what is possible. It all depends on how overt and obvious the infringement is.

I appreciate the feedback.

However, it is all about the category of business and even the global location of two businesses who may have similar names. A gym company in California called Red Kettle selling gym equipment would have no issue with a cafe in Russia selling tea and cakes who may also be called red kettle. Possible, but unlikely...a UDRP would more than likely not succeed if the categories of the TM are so wide apart.

 

[Reddstagg]

Indeed all of these things matter, that's for certain. If you're just selling a domain that's not bad faith in itself, but you're going to be afforded less protection than someone who's using the meta name in trade and have got a trademark for it.

My worry is that, as always in cases such as these, everyone hopes to profit and there's people out there persuading people to invest in stuff and trying to concoct one size fits all excuses about why everyone's not going to be subject to potential litigation. They have a trademark, more than one, since 2015... All of this business about them not owning the metaverse that others are saying or some other is just people desperate to sell an excuse for why they won't be able to protect their brand. If there's one thing I'm certain of it's that they will protect it.

I'd imagine they will analyze the data and work out which ones will likely cause them any bother. I think that names such as 'meta.stripeyhorsepajamas' will not cause them any sleepless nights. They have billions so I guess they can afford to just buy brand protection domains even at a slightly inflated price but I'm sure they may consider UDRP if it is more financially viable. Let the Domainer be aware I guess. The possibility exists even if you are not aware of it and ignorance is not a defence in law.

And the Facebook (meta) lawyers are are already printing the 100,000 cease and desist orders for all the meta + fb keyword domains registered.

In some NFT slang for the day

yes …

It’s Probably Nothing
