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

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.

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.

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.



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 cemented 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.

Mobile was working till it became an obvious thing . there are a lot of mobile sales in nambio , big ones from 2007

IMO VR overall consumer use is still 3+ years away.

I love VR and believe it has a great future once the graphics are a lot better and the eye wear isn't as large as it currently is. It's still early days.

My Son and I have found that the current VR games gave us a little nausea effect after 30min of use. However it's still early days and Hololens or Magic Leap will give VR a lot more awareness.

I'm sure there will be some great sales now and over the coming years. Yes a lot of VR companies will have thier own generic brandable name but they will also buy VR names for certain divisions.

Our company owns domains of the products we sell not just our brandable company domain. We spend on one small catalogue ad spot $7k - $25k depending on what we are promoting. This is just one ad and we promote several brands monthly. I believe if you pitch your good VR domain on how it will benefit a company for marketing purposes selling over $5k is very reasonable. IMO

If you are looking at selling your VR domains you will need to do some research and put in some hard work. It's still too early to sell but if you need cash flow then by all means sell a few to cover renewals.

It's harder to sell to big corporate companies as there is so many channels they need to go through before getting the sign off approved but there is also a greater opportunity for a larger sale.

Most of the senior domain brokers sell to corporate as they already have the connections. They also sell to domain investors with large wallets.

I always wish everyone on this forum the best of luck and hope you all get some great sales.

It's an expensive hobby for me but I love it

Dont count on ML & MS to promote VR , they will do everything to differentiate but their affect will indeed promote the virtual experience.

Mid range devices with prices of 300-400 $ and content will make VR big.

Will people on flights get something similar?

No longer will people need to worry about getting a window seat.

Why every iPhone 7 spec and rumor points to virtual reality

Perhaps Apple's iPhone 7 isn't just a smartphone, but part of an integrated system that is something else entirely? Meet iPhone 7 Pro, the VR machine

IF true, this would definitely accelerate the VR uptake timeline... (But that's a mighty big IF - iPhone 7 rumors are currently in overdrive... )

God I hope this is true. Great for VR and great for me as its time to update my phone and I dont want to change to Android.

I think it would be a huge mistake by Apple NOT to do VR in a world where every Android phone will have that capacity. I dont even like android phones but would switch from Apple in a heartbeat if that was the only option available. I cant imagine they will sit on the bench for X amount of years while VR explodes.

At this point it seems very likely that the question is when not if, Apple is going to get more involved in VR. Getting into VR and maybe AR just makes ton of sense for their business.

There is no doubt in my mind the i7Pro is intended for VR/AR compatibility.
But I'm not exactly positive that the VR/AR portion of the hardware will release with the phone.
Not because the hardware is not ready, but because the the complex deals it makes with their eco-system/platform to have built-in functionality with other major producers of content in it's use.
If it were only about the hardware, they have been ready.
If you remember their last major patent showing, it was a 3D-AR projection system to the eyes.
Can this also be a VR device using a blinder/shade ?
And as I have said many times, the money in AR is in enterprise and that patent goes to the heart of it to directly compete with 2 other products soon to consumer launch looking to capitalize on the same.

We should fully understand Apple's intentions in less than 40 days.
I have been looking forward to seeing the type of eco-system that goes with it.

I think you'll find most of the 'naysayers' who have questioned the wisdom of handregisting every keyword under the sun are more likely to emphasize the fact that 99% of domains expire, and for good reason (no demand or they're garbage). Given that we only hear from a fraction of the people who view this thread (many of whom turn to the regular posters here for advice), reminding people to be careful with their domaining/money should probably not be viewed as being on a 'high horse'.

Well said....its just advice because some of us have seen this same thing happen with every niche, VR is no different. The only way VR is lightly different is it may be bigger that 3D or Holo for instance, but that just means:

1) A lot more people jump on the bandwagon and register average/crap names
2) Those poeple register more names than they would have in holo, 3D or whatever other niche they invested in

I’ve watched and you will get the ‘so called’ experts devalue the true worth of someone else’s domain in an attempt for them to get it cheaper.

Are you serious, I've been here a while and never seen that, I have seen it from people who new to the game though

I’ll be honest I’ve done it myself trying to negotiate a domain I really like, pull it down a little bit, make out the current owner is overestimating it’s worth, that’s business.

I wouldn't be owning up to that one personally?? Its not really the way to do business, and that applies to any industry. Honesty and integrity is everything in business, whether you are dealing with a $20 million yacht or a $5 domain.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, its all healthy criticism which is what some threads need...

Well, it doesn't look healthy to me.
I believe most of the people here are tired of this discussion and not only me.
Some of his remarks about oldtimers trying to manipulte are correct and i have no problem with that, as well as different tactics for negotiation for a better price.
There is no one way to do business
And besides, experience is gained by time and mistakes so lets carry on. Its a showcase thread and not a discussion thread.

Not sure whats being criticized, specifically. All I've seen is a slap fight between some girls about the "principles" of domaining.

I have VRGuru dot com developed since december 2015, if someone wants to buy it this year it won't for less than low $xx.xxx.

I know, we've discussed this at length previously on the brand new hit online show "The Namepros VR Thread"

 

[LucidDomains]

I actually want to add one more thing to this boring topic. Sorry guys.

I'm not saying, no one here can dream big, but you got to do your homework, aim for quality domains and know your shit, or at least think you do. My point about being a realist is you need to know what's junk and what's high quality.

For example it's extremely unlikely for a "Virtual+Keyword+Keyword+Keyword" domain to net anyone $100K. It's certainly possible for people with VR+Keyword or Keyword+VR domains to hit that. It comes down to right quality.

If you want to be a dreamer, no one can stop you, but I'm not going to personally advise anyone incorrectly in fear ruining their hopes and dreams.
