Vectrex.com is for sale

[TPR]

Just saw this on eBay. I can't imagine the URL would be worth $5k, would it?

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.

Damn. I thought someone was selling a real Vextrex. At least Game.com 's pop up every now and then and are slightly cheaper.

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.

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.

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.
