Widgets.com on Ebay (I am not affiliated with it) Wonder how high it will get?

[camille7_7]

I just ran across Widgets.com on ebay and it is at: US $120,100.

The reserve is not met....and there is 3 days left.

This will be a good one to watch.

I wonder how high it will go and i wonder what the reserve is.

Anyone think this is over priced or under-priced?

Oh yeah i am not providing the link since i am not affiliated with the sale....I am sure u can find it on ebay.

-Thank you for your time.

Its Ricks, I'm guessing the reserve is probably Mill +

I am wondering why he listed on ebay.
He surely can list it on TRAFFIC.
Maybe he want more exposure to general public, not just domainers?

Possibly trying to get ebay behind the ICA?

 

[gazzip]

Did it sell ?

I doubt it.
I think he knew it's not going to sell.
I bet he have other reasons for listing it on ebay.

 

[smashfactory]

yeah, to "raise the awareness" of the name, before he puts it in traffic

Just another side of PR.

Quite honestly, thats unlikely. Pizza.com just sold for 2.6 + there is no way Widgets.com is getting near that figure.

BTW - 11 Million would make it up there as the largest verified sale of all time (considering Sex.com has been debated).

I call Shenanigans on this rumor.

What the hell is a widget?

What the hell is a widget?

A control, usually on a webpage that can accept user input, often comprised of a separate block element

Some companies specialise in making widgets that can be added to 'spice up' peoples webpages, like a poll, small arcade game or a chat room like on this website uses a java widget to load and provide interface for the chat room. Even an interactive menu can be classed as a widget
