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

My sale.

Congrats on an awesome VR sell. You need to send the info to DN Journal so they can state the price to the public and promote it to the market. When I sold VRwines last year for $2000, they posted it on their site.

Mark Zuckerberg has announced with a lot of certainty that metaverse is the next big direction for Facebook. Searching for 'metaverse' on Google yields top results relating to the news too. It was np's that gave me the idea to register vr domains in the first place years ago and now I think it's important that metaverse is paid attention to.

For vr name holders I have been checking vr domains a lot on namebio and recently vreyes.com, which looks to have had a hold time of just 3 days sold for $281usd on august 21. A vr domain name that perhaps sold as high as it did due to the metaverse news?

If for nothing else writing this will remind me of the impending technology when registering or grace deleting vr domains in my portfolio.

vreyes is half decent ... should fetch low 4fig in future imo

and 300usd for vr.name..is peanuts..

I sold many vr names in last 6 yrs..highest was longtail virtual,reality,stocks ..com

for round 7k

also vrlatex for 2.5k

and 30 or so more...

like most these techs.. ar..xr..metaverse too...vr is all about future..not past.. but in domains if yer not there years prior..then u will never be there.

I got vreyes on dropcatch, cheaper than I would have paid. Godaddy history shows it previously sold for over $2,000.

I have a numerous portfolio and get occasional inquiries but no big sales in this niche in a while. Yesterday had an XR inquiry for a keyword from a small company with an exact match name and a .com with a dash. Mine priced at 9k, but I’m slowly raising my listing prices to the 15 to 50k range. Still hodling and acquiring more good drops like this.

I’ve been focusing more on crypto, particularly Gamefi which uses NFTs. This is the next generation of metaverse. Play to earn or P2E. Revomon actually uses VR for this. But seeing the investments people make in this field, it makes domains look cheaper. I bought an NFT sword in Cryptoblades for more than I spent on VReyes.

Not many metaverse gaming projects or DeFi sites use .com by the way. They seem to handreg .io .app .finance .game .farm even .org. I’ve been playing with Dragonary.com though.

what profits can we make on gamefi..versus time..effort.. or initial investment if any..

just curious..at this stage i dont even know what gamefi is...

 

[Pazu]

It's a bit off topic and I'm not an expert, but the situation is that over the last a month "gamefi" really took off with new projects' tokens pumping and people made a lot of money in the short term but it's in a consolidation phase as many of these projects are like ponzi schemes, benefiting early investors and burning out quickly. Bottom line, this is definitely a big new thing, some projects will survive and there are many new AAA quality games on the horizon, though Revomon is the only one that is VR related so far and it's kind of a hackjob. Actually that's a game that's just getting started and has a lot of room to grow. It is a prototype of how people may earn playing VR games in the future. In the coming years I think the major game studios will start to catch on. I myself have abandoned spending time on other games to focus on building foundations in these P2E "metaverses".

Cryptoblades is an interesting example. People spend time and money developing NFT characters in the game. These NFTs can then be utilized in another game they are developing called Cryptoblades Kingdoms that will use NFT lands and the characters can be used to battle for control of them. The NFTs can link different metaverses together into a "multiverse". For example, if someone had a VR avatar they could use that same avatar in different metaverses.

From a domain side, I don't currently see many prospects as these games use arbitrary brandable names and it's hard to predict but I think someone can work some magic. In gamefi itself, I think the money is getting in early to games that will be hot, preferably at the initial token offering (ICO / IDO) stage. I'm looking into incubators and launchpads like Seedify.fund.

My point of view is that the eyeballs and server activity is going to go into play to earn gaming and other crypto systems that benefit the users more than the companies themselves. I would refer you to the book "Who Owns the Future" by Jaron Lanier, who actually came up with the term Virtual Reality. This is especially popular in countries like the Philippines where earning $50 - $500 a week playing games is a valuable opportunity.

Nice catch. I think the key for VR domain owners is, more searchers using the term VR in place of headset. I see that trend happening more every month. A lot of research is going on whether to use our real eyes showing on the outside of the VR headset. I picked up VRwipes and VRfacePad as people are much more concerned with hygiene since covid.

As far as NFTs, it's just gotten crazy. People paying over $1 million for a cartoon animal jpg NFT and there's 10,000 of them that almost look the same? I'll stick with .coms. The safest of all NFTs. We own the only one in the world, for life if we want to.

Yeah, that's why I got into domains as I saw the idea of digital assets becoming recognized. The young generation becoming familiarized with NFTs will probably help our customers understand we are selling unique digital assets that can warrant a high price.

Unfortunately they aren't decentralized and unconfiscatable. I did pick up my real name on some unstoppable domain extensions, which are themselves NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. I can hold these names myself in a metamask wallet, but of course they aren't browser compatible yet.

 

[Greek23]

I am by no means an expert, but I had to scoop up v/r/-b/e/t .com as it expired and got it in closeout on GD. I know the member here sold non hyphen version for ~28k, but I am bullish on hyphen .com and they are gaining in value for some particular niche and combos. Maybe I’m crazy but for drop reg I couldn’t pass it up. I’m willing to wait a few years for buyer to come along.

While I feel like Facebook needs to develop a better vision to come out guns blazing with metaverse, they have committed to metaverse never the less.

I think vreyes is decent as it is short and crisp, but in my understanding as vr grows it's value will grow as a bottleneck, so I thought the price was high.

When I say bottleneck I mean say this domain name associates with a person. Eyes, or goggles, are the medium vr is transferred through from the person to the tech, rather than describing the actual vr tech being offered.

But then there's some ambiguity in the name not specifying what species 'eyes' are referring too.

$281 is a nice catch then.

 

[Pazu]

I sold a non-VR brandable/dictionary word for 40k and am raising most of my VR domain BIN prices to 15k+ after listening to Rick Swartz’s argument that even a sign for the outside of a brick and mortar business costs 15k and this should be the minimum price for an end user.

well we can agree to disagree all day long.. but in the end there can always come a company which will more than happily call their actual tech such as glasses ... vreyes

this is def above avg name.. avg stuff is like vrstatus,com

which is just one of tens of vr domains I sold over few last years..and that went for 300usd.. vreyes is a 4fig name.

and as I said if company insists in future of calling some vr glasses vreyes.. sky is limit for price...

a non actual tech name as u put it..is something like I just said.. vrstatus.. or vrmaintenance which I sold for around 500 if I recall

cheers

 

[Pazu]

Names I have that are more tech like WirelessVR or VRLaptops are on the surface stronger in terms of being more related, but one should think about whether it actually is a good name for a company first, and secondly if it could be a good name for a product. Those names are four figure names, but VReyes or a lesser name like ReliefVR that could be company names or major product names are worth more like five figures to an end user, IMO. VReyes I will probably price in the 25 to 50k range.

Rick is my domain hero, but few can play the waiting game like he can. His networth has to be $100 million. I'm not sure if he has any VR names, but I know he has some good virtual names. For me it's always a guessing game of not pricing too low, but not so high that potential bidders just move on to other names.

well he can wait cause he can afford to wait

most domainers cannot

if u are unsure about prices.
just put makeoffer... negotiate.. ask others for opinions...

Yeah, that was my point. 99% of domainers need some cash flow, so we have to compromise highest possible domain sale, for more sells but not at absolute top prices.

 

[likemike]

You got that right endgame! Most domainers are just trying to make a few bucks and stay in the game. Things change for some over time with some good sales. I've always thought that it's best to leave a little on the table for the next guy! What do you think of PXVR.com for VR folks?

Looks like it was a website last year. Only 4 letters so has that going for it. I don't have any 4 letter VR domains.

"Las Vegas, NV, April 25, 2020 -- Stream video news online all the time on PXVR.com. The website was just launched as an independent service for consumers to provide video news online on demand around the clock, keeping users up to date on the latest breaking news around the world.

Consumers have long searched the web to get their news, sports and weather online from news organizations, including newspapers and TV stations throughout the U.S. As the web grows across the world, more consumers go to the web to get their news online than anywhere else for the latest headlines and news details. PXVR provides video news online on demand. Internet usage is projected to double over the next five years as more consumers get online for news and to purchase goods and services."

 

[likemike]

Thanks Endgame. PXVR.com was a website we developed but never gained a large enough audience in an extremely competitive sector to keep afloat. Frankly, we wouldn't really want to compete with the big boys in such a sector. Another developer with another idea will do it well. We've developed lots of sites over the years and have learned that some times an idea is just not meant to be. Somebody will pick it up and run with it. Think (PXVR) Picture Virtual Reality.
