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

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.

This is no different than Sedo. Buyers understand that their offer is on the table for 7 days, thus tying up the funds.

That said, a back and forth negotiation leads a buyer to believe that they're working toward a direct sale. I wouldn't push to auction in this case but the seller is afforded the option to do so.

The buyer had 5 ways to contact me that had no push to auction ability including whois, namepros, my portfolio site, uniregistry and afternic yet the buyer choose GD of their own free will.

If anyone hasn't realised who the buyer who pulled out was, it's staring you in the face.

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

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

One of my regrets, but it also helped purchase many other great names, so although I regret selling it, it was also a good decision at the time. But the regret is there. Thanks for reminding me! I think in time, I will regret selling a lot of my domains!

Unfortunately some buyers think they are God and some rules don't apply to them.

It's funny though I received an message on my portfolio site from "God" who said:

Name: god
E-mail: [email protected]
Message: wanted to say best of luck to you with the sale.

disappointing those npers do 2 pages on your pending sale indexing your domain! I'd ask eric to remove those posts.

just wanted to say always happy to see you do well your mate

Clearly he didn't want me promoting the auction and then decided to back out altogether.

 

[LucidDomains]

Personally I think EXVR dot king is worth $20-$30K in 2-3 years, it's a mammoth domain and will sell. I'm glad he pulled out even though at the same time, I'm annoyed I've discovered another cheat/scammer/fraudulent NP member. The list just keeps growing longer.

Anyone who wants more info about who to avoid, feel free to PM me.

Whoever owns God dot com is using privacy, so I can’t see who it is.

Tbf you did mention it on here and told people you sent it to auction as the auction was ongoing so that’s promoting.

NamePros has its own rules in place and one of those is not promoting active auctions in threads.

You can’t go on about the rules of one site (GoDaddy) and bend the rules of another (NamePros) to boost traffic to your auction, that's “unethical, dishonourable and unprofessional” from a selling pov if you think you can do that.

Sorry but I can see the buyers pov even more so now and why they pulled out.

It's called spoofing, you can write whatever email address you want on my site.

Totally agree with you, so when I received the message on my site I reported every post to do with my auction on NamePros and had it deleted. Scroll back and check if you like.

Of course you can, seeing as his pov is very close to home.

No of course not, by the way how's your domain coming along E4VR dot com ? You should develop it out more perhaps...

Oh right ok, was going to say don't go into detective work if that was the case

Need to boost my knowledge on how to build websites mate, it's something I'm not best at yet, can do landing pages (and probably a basic site) but that's about it.

Was being sarcastic, no idea who it was for sure, I have my suspicions though.. Anyway no big deal, I will be avoiding doing business with some people, there's plenty of honest people around to make money with.

Well It wasn’t me dude, I personally wouldn’t pay $8k for the domain in question with view to try and make money on it, would be too much of a risk - Would have to be something really special for me to pay $8k out.

And trying to buy a domain off you, the Harrods of the domaining world (in terms of prices) with view to try and make money myself, i wouldn't even go there pal.

Reading back last few posts, bit harsh what I said to Lucid and I would edit a lot of stuff if could especially what I said at the end of my last post (that was uncalled for), it can’t be nice when you have an $8k offer on the table and it falls through for whatever reason and the person you suspect it is, is standing by the buyer.

Thing is with me, when I don’t believe in something I’ll say it (it’s nothing personal) and I think I’ve mentioned on NamePros in the past that I don’t agree with the ‘push to auction’ system domain marketplaces have.

All I can say Lucid is as the owner of ‘experiences’ I’m not interested in your name just as I’m sure you’re not interested in moVR or MobiVR owning Mobile+VR.

Contact GoDaddy about it whether that person has any other history with domain sales/bids etc. My preference when buying is to contact sellers directly, the only time I’ve ever bid on GoDaddy was around Aprilish last year.

The problem isn't with the owner or buyer, it's the system. You should not be allowed to enter direct negotiations and send to auction. That's not the way good biz is done. Unfortunately the big listing platforms allow that type of sales tactic.

I agree about the push to auction. Just because the rules allow it doesn't mean you should do it.

If I was the buyer it would leave a bad taste in my mouth.

In my world business deals should be about both parties winning, not one person winning and the other person feeling screwed over.

you must be joking

the onyl way to push to auction is if buyer rejects sellers offer/bin price

in which case seller has every conceivable right to send to auction.. try to get the most for his money.. considering buyer clearly refused to pay what seller wanted and countered sellers offer.

sending offer to auction is actually a totally minuscule price to pay for the buyer, for being given an oportunity to buy the domain he wants at HIS offeerd price.. versus the owner's asking price/offer/bin.

any buyer should be deligthed to obtain such an opportunity from seller and be greatful for his generosity.

The person gave me an offer half of what I wanted and made it very clear in the comment that "if I reduced my counter offer, he would buy it in a heartbeat". There was no agreement between me and the buyer. As far as I'm concerned his $8K was a lowball. However after a day or two, I decided why not and I took the option allowed to me to push the domain to auction. Regardless if this is a right thing or a wrong thing to do, I'm going to make damn sure in life that when I sell my premium domains I'm happy with the price I'm getting. Now if this person gave me a $15K offer and I was happy with that, I probably wouldn't have sent it to auction.

End of the day, if you hate the system the answer is simple: Don't use it. Leave the system to the people who are happy to use it way it is designed. If you want to complain, I'm sure GD support, Joe Styler or Paul Nicks would be happy to listen to you all day long about it.

But for the love of all thing good in this world, don't abuse the system by making an offer and abandoning it if the seller executes his right to send it to auction.

Simply don't use the system. People who honestly get second thoughts and pull out, I can understand that. People who pull out of deals intentionally and repeatedly are the same as scammers in my eyes and are no different from the Shane Bellones of this world.
