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...]

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.

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

We had already this with MENA, Libra and what else... money waste

Meta isn’t the same, it’s had use for a long time prior!

the hype is due to the fact people are using it to shorten METAVERSE which is the buzzword!

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

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.

g.

this we 100% agree on, that;s why Im 95% invested in Metaverse, and started the thread lol.


They buy names most wouldn't believe just so others can't / wont use /

I'm not speaking on the .net or which "name.... I'm going to say this in General.... F-B00K is Behind at least 1 of the latest large meta purchases and I'll leave it at that....there's almost as many unreported sales as there are reported ones.

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

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!

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!

It’s gonna be

[bmugford]

Have meme stocks, and shitcoins finally moved to domains...like the only domains with value are the shittiest ones?

Terrible two word .NET regs from a few days ago to the moon!!!

[karamakate]

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

Why are you so afraid of TM?!
They're not going to throw you out the window!

META and BANK words are dictionary words, anyone can use them for any purpose.
Moreover, "metabank" only has TM in the banking services niche within the US borders.

FB can be an acronym for something else and mean something else.
I don't think anyone who has invested 30k in metafb.net would be too stupid to not know these details.
Even so, the buyer and seller are satisfied.

Unwind a little...

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

I do not believe that Facebook would buy such rubbish domains, even if they do have deep pockets. Metafb.net - what an awful name.

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

Which word would you like to start chewing on first lol

Go look at the metaverse thread for your answer. Cat's out the bag

Not enough information yet, but I am getting hungry and will gladly be proven wrong later. Then you have my permission to point and laugh with glee.

I'm already laughing, because I know what you don't.

I tried, sry

Well I can't be blamed for not knowing what you do. So you know the name they've chosen already?

 

[jhm]

Who the f*** bought this at that price

I say this with a hint of humour, just wow

I never said I was afraid of anything.

Your saying what I already said in regards to the metabank

You're confused on what I'm saying.
(FB can be used with certain things yes, but "FBsocialapp. com.net -whatever, NO) I don't need you to explain how TMs work. I already know.Thanks
Please sit down

Is meta a F.B. trademark now or is it still a general word we can register without fear of recrimination?

 

[MadAboutDomains]

@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,

Redd

Those cases are genuine businesses that operate under the name though instead of random domainers regging domains to piggyback off a new brand in this case FB's well publicised 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.

 

[MadAboutDomains]

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.

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.

This article seems to think they acquired naff all names.

Looks like metainternal.com, internalmeta.com, internalmt.com could be replacements for fbinternal.com for internalfb.com that they already own.

If there are tonnes of other names and they used Lovells to get them, how come they haven't been transferred to Meta yet?

nice lotto win that none of us should think we can duplicate by regging every meta .net or .com name

but hey..lotto wins do happen...
