What’s the worth of the domain name “widgets.com”? Well, the owner is putting that to the test.

For more than — likely much, much more than — $120,000 USD, you can be in the running to buy that domain name.

That’s the current bid on eBay for the seven-day auction listing, but surely the price will rise as the bidding for the name continues until the closing on the morning of March 26 PDT.

Why is the current owner selling? It all has to do with serious changes taking place in the domain-name-selling world. Find out more here.

Who’s bidding and who will end up owning the name? We don’t know. Right now the bidding names are being encrypted by eBay.

What will the winner end up doing with the name? That falls in the “wait and see” category.

What price will end up as the winning bid? Keep your eyes on widgetBeat for more. We’ll let you know about the winning bid, assuming that the final bid meets the seller’s unpublished reserve price.
