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

it's also possible that in future when VR is widespread and taken for granted people won't feel the need to add VR onto their service or domain name. That does happen with technologies.
Perhaps, but if I was offering something in the Vr genre I would want people to know. I don't think the whole world is about to change over to Vr ..........."Normals verse the Virtuals"

This is true. I started in July and I can say that most of my names are crap. 90% is crap, maybe I can get my money back on 50% of it. 5% are just good, but nothing special and 5% is my top - most future domains so today it's not worth a lot. The best advice I got from some people here is first of all research. And then think if a company really would like that name instead of just purchasing their own.
For me it's kind of addictive domaining but I would like it to be profitable too so for the next month I will not buy anything, I've decided.
I would respectfully repeat what I have said here a few times.
I am not telling anyone what to buy or creating a strategy but here is how I settled down for future tech domains 8 years ago that seemed to work for me after failing with other ways before that.
I make a list of every name that I think has potential. I do research on them from time to time.
When I am pretty sure it's a name I want, I circle it.
Each month I buy only the 'top 6 names' from that list no matter how big the list gets.
After review every month, you may find yourself scratching some off that do not seem so good after some time to think it over. (those could have been drops if you bought them)

The largest mistake when you think you have realized a niche that not many see is that they will all be gone very soon and I can tell you that it is not generally the case. So most newb's will buy everything related without much thought. That basically is the largest mistake of newcomers to domains in general and VR domains have been no different. The second hardest part is recognizing the mistake and letting them drop.

Not one of us more experienced domainer's here can be absolute about a names use/demand. Only the foreseeable likelihood. It's a odds game. %risk & %reward just like any other investment tool.
Hope that helps someone create a working model of your own. But my strongest advice is to slow down.

Surprisingly, considering it's the middle of a slow August, I got a low 5 figure offer in on one of my better VR names last night... Holding out for much more... (It's in the hands of my DNS broker right now -- I'll let you guys know if anything comes to fruition... ) ;)

I have VRGU.RU domain hack and looking to sell for 1000$ for any end user who comes first.
If you can offer me that price you will own both VRGURU.COM and its URL shortener VRGU.RU

words of wisdom for sure!

I did the big handreg with oled /amoled back in 2007ish over 100 dot com, dropped them all eventually and sold zero

I was years ahead had some decent ones to start but oled took years to come to market and some np members said the exact same words, u r too early and u will drop them al and it eventually happened

slow your roll when regging any domain

What happens if someone came up to you at the shop counter and said to you โ€œwhat are you buying that t-shirt for its crapโ€ or stopped you in the street and said โ€œyour aftershave smells like someoneโ€™s diedโ€ what would you say? I know what I would say.

You are seriously comparing shopping in a street to posting on a public forum? This is a showcase and discussion thread. If people open themselves up for opinions or valuations on their domains, they are going to get replies of all sorts. People have to deal with it.

Bottom line, everyone has different tastes of what is good and what isnโ€™t โ€“ Thereโ€™s been some VR sales, I would class as โ€˜bad registrationsโ€™ gone for 4 figures.

End of the day domaining is industry where people can rich or poor can have a chance at making money, donโ€™t end hopes before they even begin and donโ€™t shoot people down for trying.

After 18 months of doing this and spending multiple XX,XXX, let me tell you a revelation: You can get poor by trying to get rich.

This is business, not a game or a get rich quick scheme. Domaining isn't for dreamers, it's for realists. Everyone wants to become a rich, yes, but if you don't approach it in the right way, it isn't going to happen. You need read, learn, absorb, research, study, live and breathe domaining. Everyday you need to be watching the market, seeing what sells and understanding why.

A lot of people when they first join domaining think it's easy just buy 100 domains and one will sell for $1000+ right? Wrong. This strategy is fucking lottery. How do I know this? I have been there, done that. It comes down to quality over quantity.

How can I tell someone to get a refund on their list of domains? Cause I can tell what is a lottery and what is a good strategic purchase. Buying 50 Virtual+Keyword+Keyword is a lottery. ESPECIALLY if the person who bought it, is a new at domaining. People seem to forget one important thing. Domaining isn't just about buying. Domaining is buying AND SELLING.

Help people by all means if you think you can, but be respectful about it, people are only trying. Arrogantly saying โ€œget a refundโ€ or using the dislike button or posting these faces :rolleyes:(which people do) is the wrong way in going about it.

Apologies, if my comment was arrogant or you perceived it as such. You are right we should all be more respectful to each other. We are all business professionals.

However there's actually no reason for anyone to help anyone else here. Of course, I want to see everyone here make money, but lets face it, we are all competitors really. No one needs to help anyone here whatsoever. So if I told someone to get a refund, I'm doing them a favour. God knows, I wish someone told me to get a refund when I bought 200 awful holo domains when I first started. I didn't even know you could get refunds back then.

Business is hard. Making money is hard. Domaining is hard. Everything takes practice. Anything in life takes years to learn and become good at. Domaining is no different.

Buy the domains you want to buy, but don't sugar coat it for other people. You're not helping them.

Just my opinion.

VR will become huge but as I've always said it's going to take years, not months. We need the VR domaining market to turn from a Buyer's Market to a Seller's Market and that's not going to happen overnight.

Virtual99.com - GD expiring auctions, now in my account. I like it as a brandable as easy to remember and can be for anything in the VR/AR/MR tech space... It could be a great fit for a virtual Chinese company who might want to be in the global space IMO?

I also own 99VR.net

What sort of game is this?


Being British, the voiceover is pretty cringe worthy to me.

@LucidDomains

Ironic how you posted all the "domaining isn't for dreamers, it's for realists" - When i would say you are one of the biggest VR dreamers of all looking at the prices you set for your domains last time i checked out your site. Some of your VR+keyword had a BIN for 8 figures and more expensive than the single word .com and you've publicly stated in the past how you would turn down 7 figures for some of your names.

Now I'm not saying that's a bad thing being a dreamer, but don't make out it's something you don't do Lucid and 8 figures is the prices of a realist and turning down 7 figures is being a realist.

I don't have time to go into everything else as I've got loads of stuff to do today, but in short all the rest of your post was basically 'don't sugar coat you've got to be straight with people' but the very next post you put.

VR will become huge

Is stating your 'opinion' as though it's a 'fact' going to help people? Do i think VR will become huge, yes i do, but it's not written in stone and even if VR does become huge, none of us know for sure if there's a long-term place for VR domaining.

Mobile is huge and will probably always be bigger than VR, no matter how big VR becomes yet mobile domaining is quite non-existent.

What part of my previous long post don't you get. I basically spelt it out that I was new, spent a lot of money on junk domains and as you rightly pointed out dreamt of selling big. It seems to happen to a lot of people actually, when they get involved in domaining, but 18 months on you realise, domaining isn't a piece of cake, buyers are not hunting you down at every turn, the VR niche that we have chosen is going to take time to develop and renewals aren't fun.

I went from being a dreamer to being realist. Is that okay with you?

Fair enough.

Attention everyone: To whom this may concern my previous post was an opinion. I believe VR will become huge and as such have invested a fair bit into it.

Any comments I make from this day forth until the end of time about VR, the state of VR and the future of VR will be my opinion only.

Do not take it as fact.

I hereby confirm, I cannot predict the future. I have no magic crystal ball or gift of foresight.
