When will there be a 3d domain auction on Sedo Snap Names Rick Latona

[Flightfool]

With 3D getting ready to be the next big thing when will there be a 3d domain auction on Sedo, Snap Names, Rick Latona.Any Thoughts?

 

[wwwweb]

I notice more of the 3d transactions going on are with domainers and resellers end users most likely will just work off their corporate sites, just saw local big electronic stores start advertising 3D TV's on front page of flyers recently, there is interest out there, now would be a good point of entry, timing would be good for an auction right about now, pricing would still be affordable.

 

[Flightfool]

An auction would atleast set the tone wwweb.

Lets here some more comments.

There will never be an auction of 3d domain names at Latonas, Sedo or anywhere else credible.

99.9% of those names are a total, total, roaring, LOL joke and the stupidest thing I've seen in domain buying in quite some time.

 

[Flightfool]

Why so negative Dongsman.

 

[Jaco]

Because 'negative' just so happens to be the financial expectation for those 3d domain names.

Best of luck to all "3d domainers", but I know how this turns out for 99.9% of you and so do a lot of other people.

 

[Flightfool]

I respect your comment dongsman.Have a Happy Easter.

You mean a 3D only auction? Never.

I could see this only working if we included electric cars and vehicles in the mix.

So, the auction should be 3D & EV.

:imho:

 

[Flightfool]

Like has2hands says do it with a couple more categories.

To be honest there isn't anything really that speacial about 3D names that would warrant a seperate auction.
I'm not trying to be negative but it really is just a product launch. OK it is an old concept that has been updated with technological advances and just happens to be entering our living rooms etc and yes popularity is very high.

In saying that it's a bit like saying should we have a games console auction or a Hovercar auction (should they ever make one).

I think the closest you will get is a pretty well attended mini auction on a forum or webmasters site.

Don't get me wrong I think many people would love to drop a few domains in, myself included but as for the big boys holding an auction, I think it's doubtfull. Only my opinion of course

 

[DubDubDubDot]

When has a specific product line ever been the focus of a major domain auction?

 

[gilescoley]

I agree, I dont think there will ever be a "3D Only" domain auction

 

[Flightfool]

Never say never.

 

[Spade]

When and if there is actual demand for 3d domain names (currently, there is not)

 

[lexisdomains]

I am actually thinking about sponsoring my own 3D auction platform. I'll inform you guys when and if I decide to move forward.


Take care,

At present domain auctions primarily operate in a two dimensional market of Keyword and Extension. The market gets its value from, and is a reflection of, the web itself and the 'Search' values of the keyword and extension.

However, the web is not static. Today "Location" and "Real Time" is being hard-wired into the info-architecture of the web. So domain value is no longer just about keyword and extension, place and time are rapidly becoming major players in the value matrix of search and therefore domains.

Location + Time = Depth (in space, from the point of observation). So in a very real sense, the domain name value matrix is also experiencing a 3D revolution. Though most domainers will not see this as their mind set has been conditioned to see a 2D market, including for domain auctions.

Keyword and Extension are 'domain' elements whereas Location and Time are 'NameSpace' elements. Together they form a Domain Name ecosystem, of NameSpaces, in cyberspace. But, as mentioned, auctions to date are virtually all about the name, and not about the space.

IMO, NameSpace auctions are inevitable... and a natural evolution to "Domain Auctions". I'm NOT saying domain auctions will be replaced, or go 'extinct'. But there are only so many category killer .coms --and its about time "the industry" started selling the neighborhood and not just the killer homes.

So I think a 3D Auction is in the not too distant future. Clearly, judging from all the regs just here at NamePros, the 3D NameSpace is a very vibrant ecosystem. Ironically, for all the 5-niner (99.999%) 3D=Fail posters, a sign of a vibrant NameSpace ready for auction is one with a lot of regs.

Clearly, judging from all the regs just here at NamePros, the 3D NameSpace is a very vibrant ecosystem.

It remains to be seen whether or not the 3D pumpers themselves are willing to pay more than regfee for 3D domains (or even renew them for that matter).

It remains to be seen whether or not the 3D pumpers themselves are willing to pay more than regfee for 3D domains (or even renew them for that matter).

Of course, there are more options than "pay more" or "renew".

Also, the fact that so many "pumpers" paid reg fee created a market.

A 'market' of little fish, pumping away, often attracts bigger fish, who, in this case, are OEMs, major studio creatives, "the networks", "new media", electronic retailers, etc..

And, of course an 'ecosystem' of little fish eating little fish is not a (sustainable) market. But that's not what I'm talking about.
