@wwwweb So VRVR.com is not pattern sale because there were 2 similar items on auction.

VRVR.com sold for $40,000

VBVB.com sold for $2600

I do respect every individual's point of view. But open and transparent is better for our little education in this small industry of Domain World.

Thanks

Virtual Reality is trending for sure, but your buyer is not samsung, it is first, a domainer, same as if VRBB.com, and VBRR.com would sell on the forum, the VR names are much more in the crosshairs as virtual reality is trending. It takes 2 heavyweights to go at it, and VRVR got that today, the seller who is a domainer benefited greatly with the bidding war.

I know people like to push the agenda that fits their bill, that is why I say domainers are paying more for these domains on the most part than end users. I been at this long enough knowing what you hype here has no bearing on the end user markets.

We all saw the editor picks at flippa, and what all those descriptions, and brokers used to say, where are all of them today, they made their commissions, said their peace, and left. Don't get caught up in the hype, bid smart.

Thing is though Samsung and all the world’s biggest tech companies (Apple/Microsoft/Google/Facebook/Sony/Intel etc) are involved in Virtual Reality and other globally known companies in just about every industry (be it Travel/Adult/Commerce/Health/Entertainment/Sport etc) are looking at ways at implementing this tech.

Sure there hasn’t been a domain that a company as big as Samsung feel they need to splash big money out on yet, but VR is just getting started, a lot of these tech companies don’t even have headsets out yet.

It’s every person’s choice to pick and choose what they want to invest in, but way I see it is VR and other virtual technologies (Augmented/Mixed) is tipped to revolutionise just about every industry, I think for a domain investor to turn a blind eye to that and to turn a blind eye at sales like the VRVR sale and other reported sales (not just domainer to domainer) and not make a few buys (no matter how big or small) may be something a few people on here may go on to regret.

We can argue the semantics all we want here. But facts remain a large VR sale occurred. It's going to get industry press and it will likely influence investors one way or another like most sizable transactions tend to do in our industry. People discussing a notable sale is not hype. You may not like the way "First" invested their money in VRVR.com but it is dismissive to allude to their investment methods as "uneducated" just because you don't see vrvr.com as being a $40,000 domain name. Real money for a great, short, VR name did exchange hands.

It is everyone's goal in the stock markets or domain market to identify trends and take advantage of them before it becomes price prohibitive and to eventually capitalize. In any market there are signals we wait for. You probably focus your investment in certain niches because over the years you've received signals from the market that this is a good investment. There is money to be made here. VR is in a very very early stage and for those of us who invested early... every sale is a signal as we decide how to play our hands. For those who are on the sideline waiting for more information as to whether or not enter this niche... this too can be interpreted as a signal. VR isn't some hype. This sale isn't some hype. There is no exaggeration in the sales price of VRVR.com or the $120 Billion dollar industry that VR and AR are expected to be.

I've made it a policy of mine in not posting offers I've received but only sales and I'll just say this... the "VR" is just getting started!

They said the same thing about 3G, 4K tv, trends come, and go, most domainers are to stupid to capitalize into the hype, and think that some messiah will appear and turn the world into some VR kingdom.

By the time you figure you are just getting started, it is over. Many domains people own, are just generalizations, they are not actual brands, or what will become brands.

Same as the stock market, do you think the smart money is buying into the news, they are selling.

I own lots of VR stuff also, guys from brand bucket spam me all the time, telling me they will list it for 5 figures, when the buyer makes an inquiry we push it as far it goes, and if the deal makes sense we close.

Stroking a few domainer egos does nothing to the end user market, you can scream VR till the cows come home, I see your signature, I see you are deeply invested that is great. A one off domainer sale does not change the end user market, as much as you would hope it does, it really doesn't.

You can carry on doing what you do, and I hope you exit at the right time, but don't think fortune 500 is going to be knocking down your door trying to buy enterprisevr.net. Just warn newbies to be smart, same stuff when I heard 4L.com chips were headed to $5K, and hold strong, those guys don't come around to much anymore. Smart money exited at $2-2.5K.

Trends are great, if you can cash in at the right time, most people are to clueless and hold out until the end, and resort to spamming to sell when the trend is over. I hope your not one of them, time will tell, as it does for us all. I have just as much to gain from VR as you, but I don't need to spread hype because FIRST wanted to get his D*CK wet.

Follow all of First's buys they can easily throw down 6 figures in a day, and come back the next day, and do it all over again. They are like no other bidder seen in the aftermarket.

VR is quite a bit different than 3G, 4K TV's, LED, and most other trends. Virtual Reality and/or the idea of it has been around for almost a century. With or without domain names being involved - it is a technology that we will all see come to mainstream fruition. I believe it is a tech that will be around for a very long time - if not continue to expand exponentially.

but don't think fortune 500 is going to be knocking down your door trying to buy enterprisevr.net. Just warn newbies to be smart

Many domains people own, are just generalizations, they are not actual brands, or what will become brands.

I agree with this fully. There are a lot of pigeon shit domains (in any niche) - there always has been and there always will be. Just because a niche takes off - doesn't mean every domain in that niche becomes valuable.

From my point of view, there has been so much hype about everything lately that even the real niches, like VR, are being placed into the same hype bucket. When in fact, Virtual Reality is one of the few future tech niches that are around to stay.

I just googled and found this: vrvr.pro
and this vrvr.nyc

Shocked it sold so low. He should have hung on to it rather than sell it for just 40K.

 

[BrandingModel.com]

VR is the perfect technology for entertainment, education, healthcare, travel, retail, shopping, gaming, TV/Movies, dating, gambling and so much more...

When the top fortune 500 companies are investing in this technology it's only a matter of time before it becomes mainstream within the next 10years IMO

There is still opportunities to purchase a few quality VR domains for low $xxx while they are still affordable or sit on the sidelines???

Congrats for good sale of 4L.com domain.

 

[Nripesh Ranjan]

I was expecting under $25k but there is high jump with perfection. Congr8s Buyer for this purchase.

 

[domeen]

at least 10 times more then normal end-user would pay for it. But what can you do.

Vasectomy reversal is big business.

 

[BostonDomainer]

For those who aren't used to selling names in this range or working with a branding agency then this purchase seems exorbitant. But believe me at $40K- it is not. There is tremendous upside for the buyer in a name like this that can triple as Virtual Reality, Vacation Rentals, or Chinese vanity name. Those criticizing the sale have a myopic view on the power of short, catchy and memorable brands. VR and VR aren't random letters. They mean something with good flow and great branding aesthetics. You can't introduce the ill fated CHIP market as a comparative point to marginalize a booming niche that stems far beyond the control of domainers. 2 people saw value in a great name and they duked it out- seller of VRVR.com is happy and the buyer is happy.

There are plenty of VR names that have sold to end-users and I have accounted for a few of those. Unlike the silly CHIP niche (which I didn't buy a single domain in) there is a plethora of end user usage of VR+Keywords VR+LL VR+NN Keyword+VR etc etc etc. This isn't some domainer driven hype like the CHIP market which I cautioned about on the forum. The forces and signals are external to our industry and why people are taking a closer look and taking it seriously. I'm not just a VR domain investor. I've gone to meetups and conferences, I've talked to some industry heads, and the investment in there and the desire to enter the space is there and they will all need a great VR name.

Folks can call it hype all they want but I'm a full time domainer and have been doing this since 2003 (full time since 2012) and I invest a lot of time into research. You can call it hype when I say it if you want but spend some weeks reading some white papers and reports from Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, IDC, Digi-Capital etc. One can not dismiss facts and numbers as being hype. Did VRVR.com not sell for $40K? Did 18VR.com not sell for $10K? You'd call me crazy at what I and others have turned down so far. VR and AR will be the biggest investment opportunity in the tech industry as a whole and the domain industry that we've seen in a very long time.

And lastly, I'm not sure why "hype" is so pejorative. Look at Tesla and all the "hype" surrounding them. Isn't it smart business to capitalize on bullish upward outlook aka "hype"? Should people go out and invest in industries/niches/domains that have no "hype"?

Thanks for the info...

Ohhhh maaannnnn....
please can i have more advice...
You are fountain of knowledge...
The more you tell me, the smarter i'm becoming...
Will you record me a 4 hour video so i can become smarter like you...

 

[alcy]

opinions are great.. they keep threads going.
but let's not fool ourselves.. whether your vr yaysayer or vr naysayer, our words here will have exactly zero impact on whether one day VR becomes a revolutionary tech and one of the best investment niches of domaining ever... or... something less than that... there are certain advantages to realizing this... cheers all, and merry investing!

You can be as sarcastic as you like. I'm not here to be a smart ass or a know it all. Why don't you share some of your wisdom? You've been around. People are looking for information, I can provide one side, why not provide the other? I'm not here to convince anyone but to share. You can engage in the conversation and add to it or not but comments like you just made adds zero value. Every one seems to be looking for a "forum fight" when I keep stressing that this is a conversation that others can benefit from.

take care
