Rick Schwartz lists Widgets.com on Ebay
Rick Schwartz listed Widgets.com on Ebay yesterday and the bidding has already reached $60,000. He has a reserve in place and I am pretty sure this will go over $500,000 if it sells at all.
I love the four sentence sales text:
Widgets.com the #1 generic domain name for sale and looking for an end user to develop. This prime domain name receives thousands of monthly visitors by way of type ins. No other information will be made available. Domainers make note.
And the text added later:
This is not a misspell. Is not IDN. Does not have any mistaken letters. This is the one and only WIDGETS.COM registered back in 1995.
The name is quite a good one. The reason Rick wants to cash out? Who knows, perhaps he is testing the waters for some of his bigger names? Perhaps he is raising cash for another project? Or he might know something we don’t know about the web and domaining in the next couple of years/months!

I’m surprised to see such a fancy domain name on eBay. Who knows, this might be a new trend.

It is even more of a mystery when you look at mr800king ’s bidder history and see what Rick has also been up to on ebay… Feb 8, 2008

Maybe this is the true secret to Rick’s success?! Have to smell like the 70s for TRAFFIC Vegas i suppose.
