[QUOTE="Cartoonz, post: 2240968, member: 416"] The problem with appraisals is many... Unless the appraiser is willing to actually offer you the value they claim in exchange for the domain, that appraisal is worthless. Actual Liquid value on some names can sometimes be reasonably established, but on most not. Retail value is a complete speculation as well. For accounting purposes, the only true numbers are the acquisition cost and the carrying cost of the domain. Any subsequent gain through an actual sale is computed that way. Basically, having somebody write a paper claiming "your portfolio is worth $xxxxxxx..." isn't worth the paper its written on unless someone is actually willing to pay you that amount at the time of the statement. That said, you're not a newcomer to this space. You have an idea of the true Liquid Value of what you have. If you really need to figure out what the worth of your portfolio is, you're the best one to do that. But keep in mind that Liquid Value is low reseller, not end user. Anybody that appraises a name at Retail is completely guessing, until that perfect end user comes along - there is no Retail. [/QUOTE]
