  1. The end of the Landmen.

    I am wondering if an owner is approached by a landman looking to secure a lease if the owner might be better off offering up the area in an auction format? Is that where things are headed? could years or months from now there exist a place in cyberspace where mineral rights holders can put up for auction that which others have an interest in? Could the days of the smooth talkers be replaced by the black and white of $$$$ offered?

    Just pondering the future. If the state is auctioning how much longer before individuals are?

  2. That is a most intriguing thought.

    And that could easily be done right now: eBay could carve out a section for minerals. If the bid does not meet your minimum, you don't lose a thing.
