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

Oh no. I'm still inVR. I'll never be VROut! VR remains the best virtual investment option by a long shot. Just took a break to relax, research, reevaluate and plan next moves. Did a lot of renewals too lol. But... " I can see clearly now the rain is gone"

Besides, I don't just love VR for domain names, I'm a big enthusiast in the technology itself and the industry as a whole. Still remember Virtual Boy. Can't wait to see what the years bring!

well.. we'll still have our suprise sales.. like we had so far.. and even more in future.. so not all is set in stone some for suprisingly higher amounts.. and some for some lower amounts that those more "average" keywords deserve.. then again, as in all domaining, the value is what the buyer will pay

cheers.. well.. good to see your not out.. then again, if you were we'd probably be able to buy a ton of some nice vr domains at your firesale ahahaha.. jk

Virtual .Network Sold for 15K
Great Sale!
Not my sale.)

To @URLU you will be very interested in this news, you have an open auction with a similar name.

Thanks for that! Appreciate it very much my friend.

I actually really regret listing it at no reserve now even worse, but can't do anything anymore, this sale alone has just raised the value.

Wonder if it was an enduser?

VR, video games and music will power entertainment and media growth through 2021, PwC report says

The report singles out traditional sectors such as cinema and television as areas of sluggishness, while pointing to emerging industries including e-sports and virtual reality as sectors poised for the most growth.

The forecast data comes as media companies are scrambling to find innovative ways to reach consumers in a rapidly changing environment.

“[Entertainment and media] companies are operating amidst a wave of geopolitical turbulence, regulatory changes and technological disruption,” Mark McCaffrey, PwC’s leader for U.S. technology, media, and telecommunications, said in a statement. “These companies are facing significant pressures on growth.”

Virtual reality is set to expand the most of any industry, with 68 million headsets in use by 2021, according to the study. VR is projected to generate $4.9 billion in revenue, up from $421 million in 2016.

The report cites advancements in the technology of lower-cost headsets, as well as VR’s expanding relationship with video game makers and digital news and content creators.

Video game makers will see continued, steady gains, fueled in part by the boom in e-sports — referring to competitive online games. The U.S. has overtaken South Korea as the world’s largest e-sports market.

The video game industry is expected to grow 6.2 % annually to $28.5 billion by 2021.

Good morning.

Woke up to a $100 offer on SEDO. Problem is, SEDO takes $60 so I would only get $40 bucks.... The majority of my sales in the past have been private. I've only sold two names on SEDO and both were at a price where I didn't care about the premium because I was making good money.

1). Should I start an auction and if it stays and sells at a hundred bucks just deal with it?

2) Should I just send a counter offer and see what happens?

3) Should I send a message to the buyer notifying the buyer of a price that I think is more acceptable and letting them know that I will be putting it to auction if they don't adjust their offer?

4) Does anybody know of a way of getting In touch with the bidder to ask him/her to do a private transaction instead? (SEDO monitors the messaging between bidder and seller..... I'm sure it's to prevent people making private deals offsite, so if I were to propose that via messaging I'm quite certain the message would not be allowed to be sent )

Cheers!

Thank you marioct for your response to this.

Anyone else have a good strategy?

Thank you marioct for your response to this.

You're over-thinking the matter. It's a standard feeler offer. It wouldn't be surprising if the offer came from another member of this forum, or this very thread. Regardless, don't trivialize it. Pick a price you're happy with, and submit a counter. If you're unsure, add a little extra for some wiggle room, but be realistic, and counter relatively close, especially if it's a low to mid tier name, IMO.

Cheers man!

I was thinking the same thing actually. I was half expecting a member to pm me and say it was possibly their offer..

You can't get hold of the buyer so I would send a counter offer. I would never settle for $40 unless it was a name I was going to let expire anyway.

CNN has a separate tab for VR and its right there on their main page.

Send to auction, ........can only go up

 

[marioct]

Back!

Took a bit of a short break from the madness. One must step back sometimes to see things clearly and not get sucked into manufactured value and expectations. I was getting a bit trigger happy for a second there. It's easy to see only what you want to see when when you spend so much time immersed in one framework.

Friendly reminder to everyone and myself......

Have a plan, have a budget, stick to the domain fundamentals and keep it simple

The wait is very long and hard, it is the worst of domaining.

virtual.network were was the sale ?

Namebio rule, Namebio rule, Namebio rule with your hand-regs... (Obviously, "lomo" doesn't pass...)

For your first year, practice the discipline... (Keep a list of the names you would have hand-regged during this time... I guarantee when you look back in a year you will slap your forehead and say, "What was I thinking... Thank God I didn't reg these things!!!! ) Meanwhile, watch the drop-lists and aftermarket names... For every 20-30 bad hand-regs you forgo, you can buy yourself a "quality" name with some real prospects... (And you have the added benefit that you only have to renew one good domain, vs. 30 bad ones...) As always, JMHO...

(PS - I still slap my own forehead with about half the things I hand-reg!!! )
(PPS - Remember the ol' domainer adage, "Just 'cause a domain CAN be regged doesn't mean it SHOULD be regged!")

I still keep a kind of list you mentioned - it's already a book You are right and if I go through it I can smile. But I have to admit that there are a few in it I wish I would have regged them but didn't . Cest la vie

Apart from Domaining, any one here into VR Development/Designing?
Will that be a good one to jump into?

Thanks

VrAffect.com . . . better? worse? same crap?

 

[saucey]

VrAffect.com . . . better? worse? same crap?

VREffect I would say " WTG buddy! Much better!!" But I'm not so sure about Affect... somebody might see good value in it....

Maybe a medical study on the affects of VR on the human body/mind?

Actually, the more I think about it, out of all the names you've shared....this is probably one of your better ones in my opinion.

good luck!

 

[gilescoley]

VrAffect.com . . . better? worse? same crap?

As saucey said, Effect would have been better "Come and see the VR Effect? "

If you keep hand regging names, the same thing is going to happen, add up those $$ you have spent on these hand-regged names and you could have bought 1 or 2 nice names. Quality over Quantity!!!

No good/average keywords are left to hang Reg... Better to invest XX or low XXX, to buy some names....

I agree with this. But here I am now. So I find VrAffect.com and I feel like for $6 it is tough to pass it up. But I do agree with what you are saying which is why I am trying not to hand reg at all. Guess I just can't go cold turkey yet.

The auction option could be enticing. If you share domain name, maybe we have interest . . .

Surely a domainer, at this price.

 

[gilescoley]

Yeah effect was gone!

Then try and buy the better option VREffect.com by emailing the owner of the name, instead of settling for 2nd best.

 

[NamesBond]

VrAffect.com . . . better? worse? same crap?

JMHO, but low value registrations like "VRaffect" are the "effect" of failing to follow the Namebio rule during your first year of domaining... (Rule: At least 25 sales with the kw in same location, at least 3-5 of $$$$ value...) If you keep regging ill-conceived names like this you will end up with a negative "affect." (And domaining should put a smile on your face, not a frown... )

Bottom line here is a fundamental misunderstanding of who you are regging names for ... You don't reg to please yourself, rather you reg for the potential future owner... And you must be able to show value to that owner...

(Above said, there is a whole new field of "affective computing"... A reg of a name like that could be argued has some value... )
