Just checking out NameBio.
Other than myXR, has there been any XR sales yet to end users?
Other than domainers trading between themselves, there doesn't really seem to be a market/demand for AugmentedReality+keyword/AR+keyword or 'MixedReality+keyword' names either if NameBio is anything to go by.
VR domains are still bringing in these 4 figure sales, even 5 figures someone reported last week - So the VR domaining market is strong.
Any concerns for domain investors in these other industries though?
Got say, whilst i love AR as a tech, I've often been vocal about the need of AR domains, even if it goes on to be bigger than VR (which imo it probably already is).
AR is here now, so there should be more 'AR' and 'AugmentedReality' domain name sales, right?
Everyone compares the value of the name they hold with previous sales that were never to a end user.
So they speculate on speculation. Some research that is.
That's kinda like me betting that you are holding a winning lotto ticket that you paid extra for.
And how do you know that that speculating investor did not way overpay for his name even if a winner, it may only be able to match 3-4 numbers for a low payout and you bet on it ?
You are betting on others bets. Make your own bets for your own good reasons by doing the research on the name you are comparing it to.
I do still hold a short list of available names with those other keywords should they really pan-out to be something. No need for me to hold them long. To not have that short list would be foolish on my part.
To hard to do the research after the fact in enough time. I'm ready if need be.
I started buying into AR even before VR that I started in 2011 and backed off from AR in 2014 when I realized the lessor than broad implication in 'marketing' than VR had.
Other than augmentedreality.org @12.5k 5 years ago, No real significant
end-use sales. But it did get the attention of investors and started a buying spree that I wish now I sold 'some' of my AR holdings into.
The same as some of these other keywords will do when they get a few pop-shots.
The only big problem with AR in domains is that it can mean so many things, and until that solidifies in some way?, we will not have any guidance. Some of the same problems MR & XR will have, only worse.
but hey... you pay your money and you take you choice !
