People think all of the great domain names are gone... which means they are excluded from he party. If they knew they could pick up domain names and profit from them they would be singing a different tune.
Because "most of them" are gone and have been for the last 1-2 years.
It's like this across the board with the 'general public' that has absolutely no knowledge of branding and top-tier online marketing.
It's because many of them would like a name for their blog etc and ask for a price and hear or see listed prices like $2K for names not worth 2x hand reg and most of them can't afford $200 for a blog domain.
Many buyers can not understand when the name is parked, they consider that you are not using it and they would. You are just holding it hostage.
I always say to them I've been holding it all this time for possibly you. Would you prefer that I was using it and it was not for sale ? Would you feel better?
5-8 years ago, many would make a living selling names to bloggers at $50-100. But somewhere along the line, to many think valuations are very high and can't seem to understand who might actually buy the name (you have to have a need) and why anyone would be willing to pay more than 3 figures for it ( a very great need with a bank role to back that need )
I can only say that if you really think a domain is worth more to anyone than a blogger, you had better be able to back that up with data or I hope you have not bet your lunch money on holding them.
There is not going to be more than a few hundred major players in this VR space over the next 5 years. Add to that generic uses like sports, concerts, and photography/videoography, chatrooms, games, entertainment and porn and you might have a additional 200 keywords and perhaps you might have 3000 names of use and value (over $1000) .And a few hundred worth more than 25k and less than 50 worth more than 250k. (estimating the high side)
If anyone thinks that is off-the mark show me what happened with smartphones/iphones/android phone/cell phone domains. Don't tell me that VR is going to be different because in a short 7 year period cellphone/smartphone has taken the consumer market worldwide as the no1 consumer product. VR has no chance of that saturation level in 10 years. It will be lucky if it meets twice the level of all game consoles sales in 3 years. Smartphone domains are in demand as it relates to "APPS" only. A secondary but strong and unpredictable market.
Someone please explain to me who might use JesusChristVR outside of a blogger and why it has the potential to be worth more than $200.
If it is a good key word, it will quickly fill in .net .org .info and others.
Sure many of the public are mad when they see those prices.
To many are polishing distortions into their crystal ball.
"sometimes" I agree with them. But in the end you pays your money and takes your choice.
Good luck.
