If you don't think these could be premium domains if say VRGaming takes off, fine, that's your opinion.
The thing is, these are long-tail, exact match domains, which could really only be used for minisites or stores. They're far too niche for an electronics manufacturer to buy them. A few years ago domainers could still sell solid store/minisite-worthy domains for decent $ amounts, mostly to other domainers who would develop them.
But the economy crash, google's algorithm changes over the years, and parking/adsense earnings falling through the floor, has killed the value of these kinds of long tail niche names. I had a small auction here a month or two ago of such names, long tails with monthly searches ranging up to 33k exact searches. They all sold for $5 except one which sold for $12.
Most niche long-tails are now valueless. Some still retain some value, I still see some being sold at Sedo or being won on godaddy auctions for xx or low-med xxx usually.
If VRgaming becomes absolutely huge, then yes I can see VRgaming.com evolving into being a premium domain. But all the long-tails derived from it, even if they have some value, doesn't mean they'd be called 'premium'. They'd be 'okay' or 'good' or 'very good', etc.
There used to be an actual distinction, years ago when I started domaining. Most domainers back then understood the difference, except for the occasional newbie who'd call any old crap they had for sale a premium domain. But nowadays, people seem to call any domain that has any clear selling value, a premium.
Premium, means the 'best of the best'. If we don't call your domain premium, we're not putting it down. We might still say you have a nice or very good domain, very usable and sellable to an end user. If you have a good domain with some solid value, then that's just what you have: a good name with solid value. But if you want to call it premium, does it truly live up to being the 'best of the best' compared with all other domains out there?
I do the same hype myself, but not to the same extent as others. I own only three domains which are clearly worth in the five figures each. They are very good domains, but in all honesty they are not 'premium', even though on my sales pages for them I hype them that way
I have quite a few domains worth in the x,xxx range, and I call none of these premium, nor are any of my xxx-range domains premiums. So, if we're being honest, I have some nicely valuable domains, domains that receive regular offers, but I don't classify any of them as being up there with 'best of the best', like the domains I am currently brokering for others.
I guess if the new meaning of 'premium' is simply that someone thinks their domain will sell, and that's their only justification for calling it premium, then I'll have to give up any use of the word, on this forum at least, and use it only with these darn end users who keep asking me why I'm asking a million bucks for an
ULTRA-PREMIUM domain I'm brokering, when they think they should be able to buy it for $250.
Okay, problem solved; 'premium' can now be used for any domain you think will sell. I will heretofore now use
ULTRA-PREMIUM, in red, capitals and bold, for any domain that is in the category of 'best of the best'.
To the OP: I still haven't seen examples of what kind of domains you are calling premium. If you post one or two, I'll be able to give you suggestions. You've asked for advice on how to sell premium domains, but I can't offer any help until I know the kinds of domains you have.
Good luck
