Will '3D' Revive The Domain Industry - 3D Domain Names (?)

I noticed on the eBay site the seller states: I was able to get these domain names very early, before everyone else started swooping down and registering 3DTV domain names left and right.

Uh-huh.

Creation date for names: 02/15/10.

I'll bet this thread inspired her.

 

Other people's problems is not mine!
If they can do more publicity around 3D: Thanx for the ad! lol

More it's talked about: more the desire will come...(and when the products will come out!) lol

 

... ya see?...


.. i CAN make a difference in this world

Anyone else staying away from 3d(insert company name here).coms because of legal issues? There are still some good ones left.

 

Agree.

Every single 3D domain name listing on eBay right now is flawed. The domains are either:

1) Significantly overpriced

2) Hyphenated

3) A poor investment extension (.ME, .US, .CC, etc)

4) Blatant examples of copyright infringement, such as anything with the name Sony or BluRay (no matter how you try to typo squat it)

5) A combination of the above

The only exception is 3DMovieCamera.com. It is listed for for under $2000, is an excellent name, and will be worth far more in the future; however, even it
won't sell right now at that price. One could sell it for $300-$400 or hold it for another 2-3 years and make more. The longer the name is held, the better.

If anyone is serious about making any money with 3D domain names, you must focus on buying strong names (no hyphens, no wacky extensions, no copyright infringement) and then holding them for the longer term. Either that or keep your money in an interest bearing account and buy good 3D names as they expire.

For those worried about missing the market, think again. There are tens of thousands of names that will expire for the very same reason some of the people on this board could lose their shirts. The rush to spend all your money on anything 3D and only registering for one year is a huge mistake.

 

^^ This guy has finnaly said something I agree with in this thread. Thank you and plus rep

 

Any minute now. Any minute.

Seriously, why don't we forget about hype for a while and just go with what really matters in this business of domaining: SALES!

Someone mentioned that 3df**k.com went for $850 or so.

OK. That's 1.

How about some others? Surely if 3D names are this popular and will "revive the domain industry" there should be more verifiable sales, don't you think?

So why don't you post a few here?

I know some of you might say the big sales will happen later, when 3D goes mainstream.

OK. I'll bite. But there are corporations out there with HUGE budgets, legal teams, consultants and research departments that surely would see the value in these domains and start buying them up in bunches while they're still cheap.

Yet that's not happening, is it?

Well, what about big-time domainers? These guys have the money, the experience, they know trends and will pounce on anything that would make them some money.

But they're not buying either, are they?

I mean some of the names in this thread that people have gushed over were just recently regged. You'd figure that a big-time domainer would come along and offer to take it off your hands for $x,xxx knowing he could re-sell later for 10 times that amount. Heck, big-time domainers would be swarming all over this thread, contacting 3D name owners and trying to convince them to sell.

But that hasn't happened, has it?

So the companies aren't buying from you, and neither are the big domainers.

Doesn't that tell you something?

So prove me wrong.

Post some sales.

 

By the guy: 3D Bluray Movies on DVD & 3D Players are comingout this summer... = we are at dawn of the HYPE! Why are you wasting your time here to try to argue that it won't lift? Get a drink and watch a movie...

 

As I said before, it doesn't matter where we're at in the 3D timetable. Names are names are names. If big-time domainers can see value in them, even if that value is a couple of years away, they'd be all over you like white on rice to sell.

But that isn't happening, is it?

So far, all hype, no sales.

 

Dude,
I don't care selling them at 200$-1000$: I don't plan my pension on this...
Still don't undestand you skepticism at getting money for 3D domain names?

 

Im new to domaining. Can you please tell me what domains were grabbed years ahead of time by the pro domainers you speak of?

 

Yeah! If you know what are the GREAT domains names: what are they? Cuz, I don't see a ton of better 3D domains that we (someone atleast on this forum: Hotelsex! lol) can't match... And since the 3D industry is wide and the keywords too: why on earth wouldn't we capitalize a little bit on it? The techs domain name reselling industry is more then just having secret infos: it's pure speculation! Cuz, even if I know the Ipad will come out before anyone else: wich domain name will be the best if the market or the Hype doesn't exist yet?

I really think the majors are just waiting to see what will be the best keywords before buying domains at 10 000$ that will have no value... because there's still too much variables!
ex: Two weeks ago (and even now) we didn't know for sure if 3DHD or HD3D would be the used term for the industry.

 

You need to re-read what I wrote. I said pro domainers were staying away from this current trend of 3D names. The real good ones were purchased a long time ago. I don't know who the folks were that purchased them, some may have been pro domainers, but here are some names:
3DGraphics.com (regged 11/30/95)
3DTV.com (regged 03/04/96)
3DMonitor.com (regged 01/24/03)
3DVideo.com (regged 10/14/04)
3DLaptop.com & 3DCellphone.com (both regged 03/08/05).

The good names are L O N G...G O N E!

 

Great. Show me the money (the sales you've made).

 

For me: 3DMonitor and 3DLaptop are quite lame! Even the others are not WOW! 3Dtv is great, but we have got better keywords in the 2010 reality...
And no I didn't sell my domains at these price, but maybe 1% of the people around the world knows that there's gonna have 3DTV's and movies available this summer... So, it's quite normal that the hype isn't there yet!

Dont' forget: millions of people have a PS3 and will be able to read 3DBluray discs: that will help the 3D Movie industry bloom!

 

Here are my last 3d registrations...Yes they are .nets. But after you see this .net Ipad domain selling for $900+ youll want to start grabbing some .nets too.

3dphonereviews.net
3dcomputerreviews.com
3dbaseball.net
3dpga.com
3dnhl.net
3dcamerareviews.net
3dfifa.net
3dcomputergames.net
3dxboxgames.net
3dplaystationgames.net

 

Huh. Maybe you can tell me why these names are so lame:
laptop -- 1.5 Million Local searches last month; 4.09 Million global
3d laptop -- 1,000 searches

Monitor -- 301,000 local searches; 1.22 Million global
3d Monitor -- 8,100 local; 12,100 global.

Looks like plenty of searches to me. And the remarkable thing is that even the 3d names of "laptop" and "monitor" are getting searched. Remarkable because it's so early in the game.

But you stated those are "lame" names. And you also stated that you have got much better keyword names.

Why don't you share a few? You know, of those "much better" names you and your buddies have.

I can then do a Google keyword search and compare them to the two "lame" names.

 

Word up! This post definately is the best I've ever read, big respect!!!

if i may ...

you point out 'THE GOOD ONES'...
fair enough

... and you include 3d Monitors and 3d Video


do you count 3dComputer as a good one?... or ...3dGames as a good one?... how about 3dpc? .. good one or still not up to your standard of good?

ok .. cool .. me, personally, i think those are good, and looking back with hindsight, you can probably even say they were easy to see happening...

... but how about the newer names i just got which i have yet to hear your opinion on (or the names on my site for that matter)

.. Hd3dGames.com ... not strong enough?
.. Hd3dPc.com... kinda weak, u think?
.. Hd3dComputer .. kinda crappy, too, no?

While i do appreciate the debate and the view from the 'other side' of the tracks, but there has been an evolution to this whole thing which couldn't be factored in 5 years ago... like the PAIRING of HD-3d... or the crazy amount of new products to be being developed - even domainers can only spend so much, almost impossible to hit every industry .. we're sitting here focusing on tech and 3d.. but what about other BIG markets that they buy into?.. say.. new "health" products (macqui .. and goji .. etc..) and new clothing lines...etc... the world is a big place... even the best domainers have to leave thousands and thousands of names for the rest of 'dream chasers'

how did HD make out?... this is similar to that and different only in the way that this is even BIGGER - opening up many more industries and many more products that people are going to want .. AND - immediately cheaper at debut than hd ever was.. it took YEARS for that to come down to regular people pricing.

There are also no stats to prove the hot products ..
... like in sports .. say baseball .. there are some managers who amange accoriding to the stats and there are others who 'play the hunch' ... me? .. i play the hunch.

Hd3d games might now show up on google's keyword tracker .. but bet me anything you want - name you rprice - i bet it will .. and it will show up a lot.

I do agree with two of you on this though ... WHERE ARE THE DAMN SALES???!!! ...
i feel like the prettiest girl at the ball - how come no one's asked me to dance yet?
... but at the same time... i do think everyone really is waiting to see what develops first and are still somewhat skeptical from the LAST 3d that tried to take over so they're just staying away going with safer money... let's not forget the economy situation as well.. money needs to be spent much smarter these days and a domainer faced with buying the latest clothing apparel name that's already a market or some new 3d product that may or may not actually be .. smarter money is probably with the clothing... 3d has bigger potential though and that's my personal gamble, right there.

i think we just may sitting here a little too early right now expecting something to happen that just-isn't-ready to burst yet

... but MY hunch, says it WILL

.. and for what it's worth
.. for the potential i COULD be sitting on right now with these names?

... in today's world, really?.. fairly cheap when you think about it

 

All I did was pick a few "good" names and proved they were regged a long time ago.

You picked out "3dGames". I think it's also a good name. I wish I had it. Trouble is, it was regged on 01/12/96.

Kind of proves my point that the really good names were taken a long, long time ago.
