Virtual Reality Domains (VR)

[mrcurly]

Im betting big bucks on VR domains have a great future and with the big boys buying up VR companies, mainstream is a stones throw away.....

Lots of VR+keyword.com taken years ago and I noticed this sale a week or so back -

VRTechnology.com $3688

This was a steel and I can soon see everything from VRPoker / VRCasinos / VRShopping / VRBrowsing / VRTours / VRWorlds / etc etc....having a high price tag even now at the start of VR hitting mainstream...

I have just paid $x,xxx for a name but will not be showcasing as the domain is in escrow at present....

Feel free to showcase your VR domains If you like...

Cheers

The first documentary in WebVR:

“WebVR allows developers to build an experience that scales across all VR platforms from Google Cardboard and Daydream to desktop VR headsets, while also supporting 2D displays. We are pleased that WebVR and Chrome helped enable the National Film Board of Canada to bring Bear 71 VR to everyone,” said Megan Lindsay, Google Product Manager for WebVR.

maybe a good sign for VRdocumentary(.com)

added an 11 year old one... to my longtail collection today...

VirtualRealityTeam.com

i like this one even if longtail congrats !

 

[gilescoley]

I see VRTV.com finished below the reserve on $105k

Not convinced with that whole auction, 3 bids by the same bidder??

Possibly the VRTV trademark applicant testing to see how much he wants above the 100,000.

 

[LucidDomains]

Yes, if he doesn't know the reserve, he's going bid multiple times. I see nothing wrong with that.

thanks... there are many old well kept and carefulyl renewed by owners each year longtails keywords... many would no doubt be willing to pay a small fortune to get something like Virtualrealitygames.com ... unfortunately, for them, owner probably wants more thna a small fortune for it... I've ran countless age checks on countless domains .. and age is always an amazing indicator of domain potential/value/worth.. if not the best one! there simply is no such thing as best of best VR domains being 1-3 year old... this applies to all niches and domains.

longtail websites were showing up a lot in my various google searches as well.. already a long while ago... and even more so now... so you can imagine the future! I bet if someone knew the entire list of operating developed longtail websites even this easrly into VR today, the list would not be a short one!

I am very optimistic about good keyword longtails in future. they may not sell for same prices as short ones ... though exceptions wll always exist in everything.... but I predict many longtail sales in future..

I plan to keep a good 100-200 of them... a fair gamble in terms of renewal costs, as I consider pretty much any of them as being able to fetch any kind of 3-4 figure sales at any point in time, on any day, when the right enduser arrives for it... we just have to remember that VirtualReality is not a variation on VR synatax.. but rather it is its exact perfect match... so not only this could interest people/companies who do not want to spend foortune one day on VR+kw short version.. but it could literally make some longtails more valuable than short ones.. for some people.. companies.. to own an exact match/wording domain for their project or purpose.

let's just say if I owned the same short keywords as I own in longtails, I'd be owning one of the better VR portfolios around now I just own a very good longtail portofolio and a good short kw portofolio hehe.

cheers.

I think there are much easier ways to find that out than bidding on flippa auctions.

I decided to push VRPARIS.COM to auction on the NameSilo Marketplace. Reserve is met.

That's a great start at $3k. IMO most VR + Geo or Geo + VR would be for vacation rentals. I have already turn down IndiaVR.com offer of mid $x,xxx.
One good sale can always be good for a portfolio of 1-2 year worth of renewals that takes the pressure off. IMO

I don't know if this has been commented on since (the quoted post/sale is from last year), but it seems the sale evidently was a virtual reality one : http://vrparis.com the domain redirects to inceptionvr.com

right on the money there!

and let's not forget vacation rentals in VR while we're at it...

I suppose, its a lot easier to just ask Matt from Flippa who is listed on the auction?

3 bids between 100k and 105K seems a bit weird to me, if you can spend that much, you could maybe raise it by 10 or 20K...I'm not convinced though

After about 3 weeks of tracking and negotiating, I finally got -

VRex regged since 1995

nice

can u say X price range?

didn't someone sell EXVR recently too?

 

[LucidDomains]

The buyer backed out of the GD purchase. I'm pretty sure the buyer was someone from this thread who I won't name.

If he doesn't want the domain, his loss.

Your domain?

 

[LucidDomains]

Yes.

I was just about to say I thought @LucidDomains owned that one. Great name with a lot of potential.

It wasn't cheap...

The good ones never are! Nice name.

No offense but I don’t blame them, I probably would have done the same after you pushed it to auction.

Backing out of the GD contract is unethical, dishonourable and unprofessional and I'll certainly will be thinking long and hard if I want to do business with that person again. The person should have been banned from GD, but I suspect they created a fake GD account which goes to show their mal-intent from the start.

All buyers and sellers should read the rules and agreements of all marketplaces before signing up. Do your due diligence. If you can't commit to your offer then don't waste the seller's time.

Domaining is for professionals, not for kids who want to cry over the seller pushing a domain to auction which is 100% in the right to do so.

Agreed 100%.

Unfortunately domaining is always going to be full of tire kickers and unprofessional buyers due to the low barrier of entry, can start with a tiny budget, no qualifications necessary and very little in the way of regulations. Bottom line is anyone from anywhere can have a go which has its upsides and downsides.

Don't take this the wrong way but I don't see domaining as particularly a "professional business" as such even if you and others are highly professional, just goes with the territory unfortunately and don't see that changing any time soon.

Sad!

Bought a domain on a BuyItNow a couple weeks ago for quite a lot of money, buyer wouldn't transfer the domain and got a refund today, I've tried to get the site where i bought it from to give me the buyers name/contact info for me to contact them/possibly name and shame, they refused.

The whole legal stuff that you agree to when listing a domain name is a load of crap isn't it? End of the day if the seller doesn't transfer the worst thing that generally happens is they get their account suspended, which doesn't really benefit the buyer.

Still I've got another VR domain that I've bought pending in Escrow, see how that goes, gutted about the one that never got transferred though.

Totally sucks when buyers/sellers break the "whole legal stuff that you agree to when listing a domain name".

Would love to name and shame in my case, but I don't think it's worth the effort.

Sorry mate, and while it's quite honorable to not air the dirty laundry, you may get some PMs asking for more info. I don't want that kind of hassle; we are all working hard enough to research, market, and sell our domains. Hoping March is looking up for you.

 

[BostonDomainer]

Many many sales in the domain industry are impulse purchases. In general, the less time you give a potential buyer to second guess their decision the better.

See these are words I would use to describe a seller pushing to auction, you can go on about the rules, but when you own domains and are selling these domains, you are your own boss and with that you should have your own rules and ethics and pushing a $8k offer to auction 1) Making a buyer who you have been negotiating with boost the starting price your auction 2) Making a buyer unwillingly the highest bidder of this auction 3) Putting a force field around the money they put on the table (so they take back their own money or move on until the auction ends) is “unethical, dishonourable and unprofessional” from a selling point of view in my opinion, no matter if GoDaddy’s rules say you can.
