Not too sure if domains concerning RFID are really going to be worth anything. They will soon be on almost every product under the sun but for what purpose....More indepth market analysis on consumer patterns/behaviors. They are essentially a step up/replacing barcodes right? Are barcode domains valuable? The only value niche I can see is in the privacy rights advocators who are against RFID. JMHO

I'm glad that everyone doesn't share your opinion, or my income for the year would be lower.
I have had one good sale of a RFID name, (RFIDEA_com), a few months back, to an engineereing firm out of Belgium, I believe. I have also received offers for RFIDMeter.com and RFIDVending.com, which I declined.

There are 41 million Google links to the term, RFID. When I started following RFID and RFID domains about 1 1/2 years ago, the # of searches were right around 200/da. Today RFID is searched, approximately, 1,000 times/da on Overture which translates into roughly 300,000 searches/month on all search engines. (1,000X30X10.) That number will, surely, continue to grow, as the term gains increased exposure and RFID technology continues it's infiltration into nearly all aspects of the social/commercial infrastructure.

My own initial success w/ sales and the link and search figures do not, necessarily, translate into all RFID domains being commercially successful. But, from where I sit, and from the indicators I have seen, I won't be dropping any of my RFID domain names in the forseeable future.

On the lines of RFID...

I don't know if one of my names (contactlesssmartcard.com) might fall in the same category as credit cards, but I'm hoping it would be a high value sale to somebody.

Here's the creditcards.com news..

I registered 2 when I started domaining 3 months back - customrfid.com and personalrfid.com. Grrilla, care to comment if they're worth anything?

I was looking into the NFC (RFID) Near Field Communication aspect of domain name buying and read a story how the NFC technology would be used in television remote controls at some point down the road for interacting with the television sets.

You could use your remote as “wallet” to purchase directly off the television items and features.

I purchased the name NFCRC.COM to represent (near field communication remote control)

Inadvertently I didn’t realize this was the same abbreviation for the National Fuel Cell Research Center, who by the way has the name (nfcrc.uci.edu/)

The name I purchased has been getting pretty good amount of hits just for the Fuel Cell technology that is developing also.

Guess I got lucky getting more "bang for the buck" in the technology field with this domain.
