TPR Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Just saw this on eBay. I can't imagine the URL would be worth $5k, would it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VECTREX-COM-Domain-for-Sale-/321902323791 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some_canuck Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 people will pay anything for anything. personally i'd wait and see if they stop squatting on it, but you run the risk of someone else buying it off them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Damn. I thought someone was selling a real Vextrex. At least Game.com 's pop up every now and then and are slightly cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Ugh this makes me sad. Of course it's not commercially viable, but why CASH IN like that? I'm tempted to snag it and turn it over to Archive.org, except for the five thousand dollars part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50TBRD Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 A name is only worth so much but it's the SEO/ position in search results that garner a premium (currently 6th on first page of yahoo). How much those two factors are worth is obviously up for debate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dripfree Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's not a project I'd want to take on and there are already plenty of realy nice places to get Vectrex info (AtariAge obviously being the best). I wonder if there is enough interest in the Vectrex to get a crowd funding campaign to buy the domain and build a realy nice Vectrex site. I'd just like to see that domain be put to a good use.
