Anyone Remember Pagers? Someone Does & Bought Pager.com For $42K On Sedo

by

The domain name Pager.com just sold for $42,000 on Sedo.com

Back in the day before Smartphones, Tablets, Facebook and Twitter and even the lowly cell phone, people had pagers for those trying to get a hold of them.

Yes boys and girls we are going way back to the time that is pretty much after smoke signals.

Today the domain name Pager.com sold on Sedo.com for $42,000

According to Estibot.com the domain has a value of $122,000.

There are no ads on Google under the term or on the side (at least for me) for the term pager.

Its probably a good example of an old technologies like a DVD’s or VHS players that don’t really exist anymore as people moved over to Blu Ray and DVR’s.

On the other hand for me, the instagram brand is a play off of the term telegram that was in use long before the days of the internet or even telephones for that matter.

Pager will probably wind belonging  to a cool app like this one.

The domain name was owned by GLOBAL WEB PUBLISHING out of Cypress since at least 2005, and now is in escrow at Sedo.

For domainers, you should keep in mind that with tech domain names sometimes time is of the essence and as times change what is a hot technology today becomes yesterdays news and what was a six figure domain becomes worth much less.

On the other hand everything old, can be new again, especially if its a brand that is well known to people of a certain age.

    Frank Schilling once said that the same words get recycled into different things. A “Bug” in the 1950’s was an insect, in the 60’s a car, today its a problem. So “pager” may have a new meaning someday.

    Probably the “pager app” — which has the URL getpager.com – I believe one of the early Uber guys launched this, as Uber for Patients/People with medical issues (Doctors on Demand). Niche market that could grow into other professional services (executive coaching, tutors, attorneys, and more)

    @Kassy exactly. Text…. mobile…. “smart”… to name a few, all had different meaning 20 years ago.

    Now excuse me while I try to go buy beepers d0t com 🙂
