    Probably x5 if you wait 6 months... I believe from my experience it would bring in $1000 - $2000 now. I do have a lot of 3D domain names and from listening to these wonderful articles about 3D that have been posted here, it sounds as if this is just the beginning. 3D computers and Laptops need to go mainstream for this to really catch on, and from the looks of things it is heading in that direction. Lets all just cross our fingers and hope for the best on this very exciting Journey. My dream is to go to a Domain Convention (with the money I make from the sale of one of my domain names) and wear around a sign with my BEST 3D Name I have. I saw this with a City name.com one time. I said wow the foresight that person had. I refused to let that go by me twice when I found out the world was going 3D, I then purchased about 100 names. Sold 3 for $1000 each, and one that I will regret for $250. Good luck with your very good 3D Domain name, and please keep us posted. As for my inquiry about my domain name, then me offering them a partnership instead of selling it... I never heard back from them. The domain name... I will tell next weekend as I will give him another week to hear from him/her.

    I doubt you will get anywhere near that for the name, even in 12 months time, maybe if it was 3DStore.com or 3DShop.com, then you would stand a better chance..just an opinion though

    I have struggled to sell names which I think are better than that on domain forums for $5 or $10???

    Good luck....

    Please give examples of the names you are trying to sell and comparing to my 3D domain? Thanks.

    Just my opinion but 'megastore' is just as memorable as just 'store' and would be worth a decent amount to someone looking to open an ecommerce 3dsite.

    Im not talking about store/shop/ecommerce names in particular but generally 3D names..

    Names like 3DGizmos.com, WhatsOn3D.com, 3DMotorRacing.com, 3DStoreOnline.com and 3DPreviews.net to mention a few..(decided to keep them for a while until the market for them improves)

    It fine saying
    ......the problem is finding that person, or will that person find you??

    OK, well sounds like you are more invested in 3D domain names than i am (I only have the 2 3D domains). I actualy pruchased 3Dmegastore.com for my own project but was thinking of selling it as have other projects i am working on but mght as well keep it and see what happens. Worst case i am confident i will get minimum my money back.

    Cheers.

    Do not feel bad... I just got rid of the best names in the world (similar to what you have)... but they were .me. It happened a few days ago, and I am still recovering. It is difficult to let go. If any one is interested in .me, let me know...

    First thing is first ....
    ... Predicting this game is like predicting where a raindrop is going to fall... good luck with that.
    For a very fast overview, go take a look at who.is domain sales for 3d domain names --> http://www.domaintools.com/domain-sales-history/?q=3d

    3dFilmWorld.com for $1,000?? (Really?!)
    3dFearFactory.com for $100 (not a lot of money, but i'm sure if someone posted that name in this thread, we'd all say 'NAH')

    but then a name that you would think would go for much bigger money, say 3DLCDTV.com sells for only $375... Fear Factory is a better name??
    .. so good luck trying to figure that part out.

    as for 3dMegaStore.. cool name... great?.. no... but can still be very useful to the right party... just need to find that right party.

    Me and iain talk about this all the time... WE'RE all wasting our time and effort in even posting any of these names in a forum.. especially ones with other domainers where they want your name for something like $0.20 on the dollar.. if that... can't blame 'em.. i do the same thing... but the money that's in 3d domains right now are in the hands of the end-user' and two - in the hands of time... it's still just scraping the surface of its potential and most people - even the ones who read this thread - still have no real idea about the POWER of 3d and where it is being used and for what.... this is going to need some time... medical, real estate, websites, teleconferencing, tv's and video, dvd's, advertising, mobile .. this is NOT going to happen over night...
    is this all in motion and in some cases available?... absolutely, but then cost is the biggest obstacle, so then youhave to wait for cost to come down... but sit tight everybody - it will .. everybody just needs to be patient... you'll lose some names along the way, but make sure you asess the ones that WILL be valuable and hold those close.

    geek.. your 3d me names... put the pieces of your heart back together, those are garbage and just an illusion.. a false sense of value you had tucked away in some corner of your mind... that fate was a complete eventuality... i think you'll be fine without them (i say that in a very caring way haha)



    as for parking...
    ... T-z3P.. parking is OVER... like DEAD in the Water OVER.

    i have a gazillion names and it took me 4 months to scrape up $30 on Parked, who actually gives you better payouts then someone like Sedo.
    and in case you missed it, Google, Yahoo and Bing (?) are all taking to measures to see to it that parking is nothing more than a history lesson in domaining:

    Google Lets Advertisers Opt Out of Domain Parking Sites

    Yahoo! Change May Hurt Domain Parking Revenue

    - - - - - - -

    I'm sure you've all noticed that 3d news seemed to have taken a vacation the past two months or so .. but now it's back in the news a lot... they're all ramping up for the holiday season so you'll start to see and hear a lot more in the coming months... but there is still a ton of stuff that is under the consumer radar and will remain so for a little while... i think we'll all be fine but we have to wait a bit longer... plot and plan your renewals, because you're going to need to.

    ... and at the same time ..
    ... these could be good times to 'steal' a few 3d domain names from impatient domain holders that won't renew... throw up some lowball offers on names sedo or GDA.. or do some legwork and hunt them down your self on who.is... you'd be so surprised what you can get away with it.

    Good Luck everybody!
    :)

    yeh i have to agree with you i have 3dlcdtv.info and was very surprised and disapointed to see just how much the .com went for but its still early even for a domain like that it will be worth a lot more eventually
    so far i have sold only one name that was a .info and tbh i even wish i had held that even though it pulled in $400 for a .info i could have used that to my advantage moving other names i have.
    remember look around you people are still stuck with the idea that 3d is still the same as the old jaws movie people dont realise just how advanced it is now it will take a little while for normal non tech heads to figure it out but in the meantime we all have to be that little bit patient

    I just got 3DLiveMeeting.com, the .net is available as I speak if someone want to grab it ;p
    They were both registered by the same person but he didn't renew them.
    I'm not sure how good these names are but i'm that one day we will have 3d live meeting softwares and technology :)

    Article I found, may have been posted already

    Sony believes half of TVs made in 2014 will be 3D

    Sony believes that half of all televisions made in 2014 will be 3D-capable, according to comments made by a senior Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) exec at this week's GamesCom event in Germany.
    Mick Hocking, Senior Director for SCEE's Studio Liverpool, predicts that the high launch prices for 3DTVs and consumer's dislike of ugly 3D specs will are just temporary issues and will not limit the take-up of the tech in the next few years.

    Gaming to drive 3D adoption

    Hocking is obviously a man that wants 3D TVs to succeed, as he is in charge of PlayStation Worldwide Studio's 3D development.
    He makes the bold prediction that predicts that half of all televisions made in 2014 will be 3D-capable, and that the prices will drop considerably as economies of scale kick in.
    "I think 3D gaming is huge. There are many, many benefits that 3D brings to games, but in general it enhances your sense of immersion. Your eyes pick up a lot more information than with 2D," said the SCEE Director.
    "If you do produce 3D games in the right way it is a stunning experience and justifies the need to put glasses on and buy that TV. If not done well it's just used to add depth, or worse, it can put people off.
    "3D done right isn't just about adding depth to a scene it is a creative medium. There are choices about how much depth you put into a scene depending on what you're after, whether it is to create a sense of suspense or vertigo."

    3D cameras and movies

    FujiFilm is one of the first consumer camera brands to support 3D, launching its latest 3D-capable camera earlier this month. And lots more 3D Blu-ray discs are set to arrive in stores very soon, in time for the busy Christmas holiday season.
    Yet it is gaming that Sony hopes will drive the mass adoption of 3D in our homes. And as for the games that will make 3D TVs seem far more desirable to the average punter, Hocking admits:
    "My completely unbiased opinion is Motorstorm Apocalypse. Killzone 3 has a great sense of vertigo, especially in the jetpack levels, but Motorstorm has things blowing up all around you and past you."

    the only thing that i find odd is why the big domainers with unlimited budgets didn't scoop up 3d + every keyword years ago.

    3-D movies via Internet and satellite

    Multiview video coding (MVC) is the new standard for 3-D movie compression. While reducing the data significantly, MVC allows at the same time providing full high-resolution quality. At the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam from Sept. 10-14, 2010, researchers will showcase how 3-D movies can be transmitted via Internet and digital television channels such as via satellite

    Yeah, a lot of the good names were snapped up ages ago, but only the real premium .COM names like 3D, 3-D, 3DTV, 3DTelevision, 3DGlasses, 3DSports, 3DGames, 3DMovies.......

    A few nice names also dropped over the last few years as people didn't see 3D taking off in a big way and didnt want to keep paying the renewal fees.
