Even the most stupid VR names CAN be worth a lot, because no one knows what the future holds.
So if you can get a cheap($0.99-$3.13) handreg domain, it is worth a shot. -RedTape-
This is true but not many.
Just because you don't see any value in these names, someone else might. You, nor anyone, know the future, even when it's based on past behavior. -RedTape
This also is true but if not basing it on past behavior and present money investments, what wishing well do you use to have any accuracy.
I like my money and don't hunt with a shotgun. I use a rifle.
Surely you watch the drop lists. How many of those are going to be yours in 4 years. I can't think of better learning curve than to watch what others are doing wrong. And that cost me nothing but the time to watch. I don't plan on making the same mistakes. It has worked well for me in ten years but I will say that it took the first 4-5 to learn the best lessons.
Right now the investors buying all the LLL.coms are not wishing. They know and can shoot with a shotgun and make money. They are not buying all the JesusChristVR's.
Just remember this as the best wisdom I probably will say in this forum.
In a auction, the high bidder does not set the price. The sale price is set by the second highest bidder. To have value, it must have demand.
To many out-price themselves to alternatives and loose a sale completely.
And most of the time you never will know how many of those sales you lost before it started. Have value, yes, it is the amount that is in question.
You just throw out lots of hypothetical numbers that makes no sense to me, like :" There is not going to be more than a few hundred major players in this VR space over the next 5 years..".

Perhaps EXPERIENCE will cure that. I have been in the VR space since the 90's and have all the dev kits and play with the media and have watched many a "next great thing" come and go.
I am not trying to offend anyone with their purchases. But pricing could be better for them. It's about obtaining a ROI. The majority of name purchases for investment normally show in the drop list in 4 years or less and many of those could have been sold to a individual for use in their blog etc if they were priced right. That is why folks get mad. A missed opportunity is a ROI never obtained.
I don't see all those dropped names selling again. Just a few.
The biggest investors do watch bido names and I as well. Yes they are low quality and the price reflects that. Back to what I said about demand and the number of bidders/price.
If you take the time to understand what happened in the smartphone name space, you will have a better understanding of this VR space and others.
