The sales lander for ARConstruction.com is one of the all time WORST sales landers I've ever seen. Self-portrait (why??). It doesn't clearly say if the domain is for sale or not and wants to video call. And the only want to contact this guy is by clicking the Whatsapp button on his selfie.

I've seen this guy before,
he has a collection of names I stumpled once upon...

So, if you want that name, you have to chat with him...
maybe he wants to make friends with you?!

who knows... :xf.laugh:

And for the record i do agree with Vrdommy as in sales show results . I am confident these will come but i am not seeing many big sales either lately in Ar / Vr either Ai is the hot toy at the moment

And if not i can go and drink my sour grapes 😂😂
As far as I have records, "AR" has never been a "THING" in the domain world.
A few sales to end users over a more than 15 year stretch is hardly cause for reaction, just a note.

I think the AI thing is just a investor frenzy. But I can see some use by end users. With the 10's of thousands of registrations, it looks like a bunch will be loosing money.

A lander only needs to convey the important stuff.

It is for sale.
Potentially the price/asking/range.
A method to contact the seller.

They landed there because they are curious. Would you want to tell them to much to scare them off before you had a chance to talk with them.
Getting to fancy with a lander is not exactly a plus, but if it looks bad, perhaps it is a minus.

If I want a name, it does not matter to me how good or bad the lander is.
You are not selling ice cream.

fancy landers being important is just illusion of domainers.. has nothing to do with buyer just wanting to buy domain period. ofcourse most deny living in illusion. countless names for sale and often the best ones have nothing but plain text page that says this domain is for sale, email to buy. and that's all u need.

They want the name or they do not.

I’m not going to invest in Ai domain names, but I am looking at other way I can make money with Ai.

I’m not sure how you can call Ai an “investor frenzy” Ai is inevitable and it’s going to be as revolutionary as electricity/antibiotics and World Wide Web.

Immersive tech is also inevitable in my opinion, but whether the time is now for this tech or not I’m not sure.

But one thing I do know is Immersive tech is not going to be as revolutionary as the 3 I said above, immersive tech’s potential is being like television, Ai is on a whole different level in terms of the impact it’s going to have on the world and how it’s going to change everything (hopefully for the better).

Investor frenzy as I called it, is that lots of names registered with little end use.
I don't doubt that AI is a thing. It's the need for domains I question. And what form that may take.
Many other terms take the place of that. Smart, Intelligent, or even the "i" as a prefix to name a few.

AI-Car or Smart-Car? iCar ? /// AI-Phone or i-Phone.
It seems to be better placed where R&D in AI is the target.

Besides, AI does not really exist. It has become just somewhat a marketing term to describe something in programming that seems beyond what people can fathom.
Only when a computer can recognize on it's own that it made a mistake and re-write it's own code with a correction is it truly AI.
Till then, it's just a (set of) programmed algorithms that dazzles people because they fail to understand what makes it work. But still as dangerous.

Otherwise, when they do make mistakes, often because of the input data or just bad programming, nobody would need to go in and make corrections to get what they wanted it to do in the first place.

Computers can't do anything a human can't do, but they can do the same much much faster.
Everything is converted to numbers (pic,vid,sound etc) and from a set of numbers, a programmer can set the important criteria of patterns to compare, and using a reference method of fuzzy logic, which means it does not have to be a exact match, but the closest representation to that by points layed out by the programmer, that is available.
Great for matching fingerprints, voices, eye retina's, faces, cancer from ct scans etc. Because of the speed of comparing data. And you could tie the output of that with searches of FBI records or Drivers info or even diagnosis in the medical field.

But I will go along with it being a thing. Not to much in domains though. Not how it's being played in the market.

When this stuff goes wrong now, they blame the computer rather than the programmers.
It's like a get out of jail free card for mistakes.
Gift or Grift ?
It remains to be seen if there is any backlash over it and it may not be as desirable in the end.

I see from all those neg's that I could care less about that there are many who think contrary because you hold more than 8 ?

Why not put your opinion on those negatives,
and see if they can stand up to real scrutiny from your peers. Tell us how it really is.

Don't be afraid ! Ha Ha ! I'm have not been.

Haha... Yeah...... And the tone of the lander almost sounds like he wants to be begged. He needs to be "rewarded" and to discuss it in a VIDEO Call 😅

A long looong time ago, it wasn't unusual for some domainers to put their phone number on their landers. Those days are mostly gone for non-broker landers.

I see nothing wrong with it in general, but his presentation and writing are just ridiculous.

He was mentioned a few weeks back on Twitter for his “unique“ landers. There were those defending him saying he’s successful, a nice guy and attends Names Con etc. He might even be here.

Alot of us have been stumbling across his pages for years. He has a good portfolio.

But I agree it’s downright strange and creepy to demand contact by Whats App. I imagine he loses alot of potential interest.

Whatsapp isn't that weird if you ask me... It's just a messenger. It's the demanding a *VIDEO* call on Whatsapp and talking about bring "rewarded" that is looney. I find it extremely difficult to believe that he's successful. Just because he has a lot of names and gas been in the game doesn't automatically imply anything.

There is someone here who has been domaining forever (over 10 years?) and never reported or shared news of single sale, but they give the most long winded advise around here 😄

Years of experience can be years of failure. You never know just by experience alone.

And that can drive some just crazy to spend all of their time just pondering that.

I would not want to brag on sales myself. You never know who is going to get pissed-off at you and try to turn you in for a sale you did not claim on your taxes to keep from being pushed into a higher bracket. Putting it in print is not a good idea.
Besides, many don't want to believe you in the first place no matter what they say in these threads.
Perhaps you don't understand that for good reasons ?
Anonymous works for me anyway ! Your mileage may vary. I do appreciate those that do report and thank them all the time for sharing.
But I'm not sure what this person you speak of is getting away with ? Or are you just trolling 'again' ?

New DNJ report. https://dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm

A couple of notes.

I think I counted 5 .AI names near the top of the bi-monthly chart.
None are in use yet. Likely all investor buys. Similar to previous report.
Institutional/group investors ? Or 2-3 big investors in bidding war ?

7 Hyphenated names.
While I did not check them all, likely end-users as investors will 'not normally' go high on hyphens.

A list of English 3word'rs
whitecoatsummit.com
pvshop24.com
thecouponcode.com
betterlifebalance.com
shareappcrack.com
HeartHomeMag.co.uk - 3 word double dot
Of course all 7 of those hyphen names also count as 3 word'rs.

One that baffled me at first - QQPoker.com @ 13k+
shows as still for sale but could be related to this in some way ? https://qqpokeronline.bet/

But nothing visible for our niche. Did I miss something? Calm before the storm ? Let's hope so.

I have about 14 plays in this segment. I have always thought it would be one of the stronger markets at some point.
It may take a couple of years more for it to really take root. Just more reason for a variety of folks to have a HMD.
Like many things, it will seem like a fad until it is commonplace.
I think the real trick is when co's market home exercise equipment to be active with a VR program.
Same with adult toys LOL, But that has been done already. Just not very well.

Tech firms hope sweaty workouts can sell women on VR headsets​

Very, VERY few domain investors are fortunate enough to have more than 5 XR related sales in the 4 figure range or higher. DNJournal only reports sales in the 4 figure range or higher.

The reality is that if you want to be a successful domainer, never focus on one niche. The domainer who are only interested in XR related niches, those who primarily post only in the XR related threads are not making any money. That's not how domain investing works.

That said, it is fun to invest on XR related keywords. Collecting beautiful domains is fun, especially that are 1 or 2 words and worth 4 figures or more. But you're making ZERO profit if you're focusing on one ONE NICHE with THREE WORD domains. That's a DOUBLE NEGATIVE.

Don't flush money down the can lke some people around here. They make no sales...never reported a sale on their life. But they have the most advise around here.

I actually believe that.
And I am not sure who is all that interested in sales under 2k unless that is your market target.

The question remains. Who might be buying them. If it is other investors then there is no real market.
But you all can continue selling among yourselves at whatever $$$ level you wish to play.
Use those sale as incentive to spend even more.

Surely there will be "some" end use.
There were some high dollar end use sales not related to this niche.
Proof one can get lucky since xr can mean other things.

You folks are to much.
Can't talk about names so you talk about people. Everyone who disagrees with you is me ? LOL
Good luck with that. Grow up.

Didn't you guys create a XR thread 6 years ago so you didn't have to listen to contrary opinions ?
Not enough action there ?
