vrvr. com just sold for $40,000 on namejet

There was a bidding war between 2 bidders for over an hour all the way from $15k to $40k.

wow!!!

 

[Emmy101]

Crazy Gamblers can buy anything !

 

[Recons.Com]

Fantastic sale

When I first saw this, my first thought was '$40,000 how? ' But after a minute or 2 reflecting - 1) It’s an unforgettable name 2) rolls off the tongue nicely and 3) the perfect name to build a brand around in the Virtual Reality or Vacation Rentals industry (2 monster industries with money).

And with a similar sounding slogan "We are who we are!" ))

The only time you can outbid "first" in a namejet auction is...if he has too pee longer than 4 minutes

lol.

no industry like the domain industry

no niche like VR
---------------------------------------

Seriously though.... congratulations to the buyer. They bought a premium, appreciating asset in a VR niche that is still very much in it's infancy. Good buy imo.

 

[ninjadomain]

Nice domain and sale!

 

[bobbarato]

Whelp, I'm suckin in my gut, putin the short skirt on and struting on my corner for my vrqr.com.

Daddy wants a jetski this Summer.

First pays for rarity, this is a domainer to domainer type bid, it really doesn't change the market from a end user perspective, they are going to pay what they can afford to pay. Domainers are paying more than end users lately anyways so it really doesn't matter. Chinese are all about patterns, next time a chip hater throws a V in your face, throw this comp in their face.

I doubt this was purchased for $40k based purely on being a rare pattern. VFVF.com only sold for $2k in February of this year. Other ABAB patterns for less than $10k this year as well. Enduser or not - future tech names (the good ones) are increasing in value. This purchase (among others) only solidifies that further.

And they can throw all the V's in my face they'd like to. I'll buy the good ones all day.

If the purchase is FIRST as reported, they are a speculator, The name came on their radar, and they bought it like any of us would hoping to sell it for more down the road.

The seller of the domain is no dummy, they own many Chinese friendly domains, this bidding war went in their favor. Facts are facts, hype is hype. The issue with domaining is to many people have got burned on hype lately. Domaining in the aftermarkets is about playing defense, just as much as offense. To much fast, and loose money, and to many re-auctions lately which is never a good sign. It is good for portfolio holders, maybe not so good for flippers, as their risk tolerance is much higher when they have to pay up to acquire, and have less likelyhood of reselling given they have to ask more.

It is no secret FIRST pays for patterns, and short domains. It is right up their alley, they are working with an endless bankroll. It's a good domain but I don't see any big western players fighting, or paying these prices for these domains, they are the sellers in most cases, and I don't blame them.

Aren't all investors speculators?

There is educated investing, and there is speculation. If you have proven sales in a certain niche like many here work, they are making an educated buys.

First plays the short, and numeric of the Chinese market, and can afford to take big risks, for big payoffs. They were buying into the run up, and into the downfall, they are like a bulldozer, they don't quit.

Namepros used to be full of Chinese domainers bidding on 4L's, and 5N.com's, you don't see them around anymore.

This was a rare domain, it is a one off sale purchase by a domainer, it doesn't change the end user market, that is all I am saying. This has no bearing on what end users offer, most end users are blown away when they get 4L pricing, just a reality as the wholesale market is so fluid.

Thanks

Virtual Reality is trending for sure, but your buyer is not samsung, it is first, a domainer, same as if VRBB.com, and VBRR.com would sell on the forum, the VR names are much more in the crosshairs as virtual reality is trending. It takes 2 heavyweights to go at it, and VRVR got that today, the seller who is a domainer benefited greatly with the bidding war.

I know people like to push the agenda that fits their bill, that is why I say domainers are paying more for these domains on the most part than end users. I been at this long enough knowing what you hype here has no bearing on the end user markets.

We all saw the editor picks at flippa, and what all those descriptions, and brokers used to say, where are all of them today, they made their commissions, said their peace, and left. Don't get caught up in the hype, bid smart.

Thing is though Samsung and all the world’s biggest tech companies (Apple/Microsoft/Google/Facebook/Sony/Intel etc) are involved in Virtual Reality and other globally known companies in just about every industry (be it Travel/Adult/Commerce/Health/Entertainment/Sport etc) are looking at ways at implementing this tech.

Sure there hasn’t been a domain that a company as big as Samsung feel they need to splash big money out on yet, but VR is just getting started, a lot of these tech companies don’t even have headsets out yet.

It’s every person’s choice to pick and choose what they want to invest in, but way I see it is VR and other virtual technologies (Augmented/Mixed) is tipped to revolutionise just about every industry, I think for a domain investor to turn a blind eye to that and to turn a blind eye at sales like the VRVR sale and other reported sales (not just domainer to domainer) and not make a few buys (no matter how big or small) may be something a few people on here may go on to regret.

We can argue the semantics all we want here. But facts remain a large VR sale occurred. It's going to get industry press and it will likely influence investors one way or another like most sizable transactions tend to do in our industry. People discussing a notable sale is not hype. You may not like the way "First" invested their money in VRVR.com but it is dismissive to allude to their investment methods as "uneducated" just because you don't see vrvr.com as being a $40,000 domain name. Real money for a great, short, VR name did exchange hands.

It is everyone's goal in the stock markets or domain market to identify trends and take advantage of them before it becomes price prohibitive and to eventually capitalize. In any market there are signals we wait for. You probably focus your investment in certain niches because over the years you've received signals from the market that this is a good investment. There is money to be made here. VR is in a very very early stage and for those of us who invested early... every sale is a signal as we decide how to play our hands. For those who are on the sideline waiting for more information as to whether or not enter this niche... this too can be interpreted as a signal. VR isn't some hype. This sale isn't some hype. There is no exaggeration in the sales price of VRVR.com or the $120 Billion dollar industry that VR and AR are expected to be.

I've made it a policy of mine in not posting offers I've received but only sales and I'll just say this... the "VR" is just getting started!

They said the same thing about 3G, 4K tv, trends come, and go, most domainers are to stupid to capitalize into the hype, and think that some messiah will appear and turn the world into some VR kingdom.

By the time you figure you are just getting started, it is over. Many domains people own, are just generalizations, they are not actual brands, or what will become brands.

Same as the stock market, do you think the smart money is buying into the news, they are selling.

I own lots of VR stuff also, guys from brand bucket spam me all the time, telling me they will list it for 5 figures, when the buyer makes an inquiry we push it as far it goes, and if the deal makes sense we close.

Stroking a few domainer egos does nothing to the end user market, you can scream VR till the cows come home, I see your signature, I see you are deeply invested that is great. A one off domainer sale does not change the end user market, as much as you would hope it does, it really doesn't.

You can carry on doing what you do, and I hope you exit at the right time, but don't think fortune 500 is going to be knocking down your door trying to buy enterprisevr.net. Just warn newbies to be smart, same stuff when I heard 4L.com chips were headed to $5K, and hold strong, those guys don't come around to much anymore. Smart money exited at $2-2.5K.

Trends are great, if you can cash in at the right time, most people are to clueless and hold out until the end, and resort to spamming to sell when the trend is over. I hope your not one of them, time will tell, as it does for us all. I have just as much to gain from VR as you, but I don't need to spread hype because FIRST wanted to get his D*CK wet.

Follow all of First's buys they can easily throw down 6 figures in a day, and come back the next day, and do it all over again. They are like no other bidder seen in the aftermarket.

VR is quite a bit different than 3G, 4K TV's, LED, and most other trends. Virtual Reality and/or the idea of it has been around for almost a century. With or without domain names being involved - it is a technology that we will all see come to mainstream fruition. I believe it is a tech that will be around for a very long time - if not continue to expand exponentially.

but don't think fortune 500 is going to be knocking down your door trying to buy enterprisevr.net. Just warn newbies to be smart

Many domains people own, are just generalizations, they are not actual brands, or what will become brands.

I agree with this fully. There are a lot of pigeon shit domains (in any niche) - there always has been and there always will be. Just because a niche takes off - doesn't mean every domain in that niche becomes valuable.

From my point of view, there has been so much hype about everything lately that even the real niches, like VR, are being placed into the same hype bucket. When in fact, Virtual Reality is one of the few future tech niches that are around to stay.

Shocked it sold so low. He should have hung on to it rather than sell it for just 40K.
