Looking for an appraisal

 

[WhoDatDog]

The name is worth zero, but don't give up. Read as much as you can, and pay attention to actual sales of small dollar names, since you cannot trust anyone in the industry who reports large value transactions (my record is 100 percent when I suspect a fishy transaction....never wrong yet).

You may have to search for hours to find threads here where someone legitimately posts SOLD in a thread. But pay attention to that. If someone buys a name here for $50 that is valuable info. Be careful and try not to reinvent the wheel. Always ask yourself how a name would improve the cash flow of a business. This names does not improve anyone's business. Most people register worse names than this when starting out. If you promised yourself not to register a name for six months, and all you did was read, then you will thank me. I couldn't do it, myself, and I registered worse than this.

Don't listen to 99 percent of people in these appraisal threads. They are dishonest people who will not ever pay even a fraction of what they appraise a name for. It is meaningless drivel, and these guys like to see people with less knowledge than them floating around the threads. After all, they can try to hustle you with some of their garbage names. Don't you realize that these cretins have bills to pay? Lol. If a knowledgeable domainer wants you to be his friend, run, don't walk, away from the loser. Eventually he will try to sucker you into some horrific deal.

The people with the real knowledge are afraid to appraise names at true value because they don't want to burn bridges that might lead to potential sales of loser names to you. What is funny is that even though this name is worth zero, that is better than minus $50, which many of the names here are worth. I would delete the name so you never have to think about it again.

I thought it might have value as a restaurant review site or recommendation site or reservation site. Could also be used with a local spin like "dining places NYC" etc.

Ignore the copy/pasted trollpost above. I've sold *places.com domains for mid to upper four figures. This one is a great generic that can be developed for regional dining listings (plenty of sponsoring opportunities). If there is one thing people still do regardless of the state of the economy, is dine out. Developed, this can go into the low $$,$$$ range. Good luck.
