Professional appraisal

[fischermx]

Hi,

I want to aquire a domain that is supposed to worth several thousands.
I want an impartial professional company to make an appraisal for me.

Which would you recommend ?

 

[mole]

sedo.com is good for this.

 

[dotNetKing]

I agreee. Sedo is pretty good for an impartial objective appraisal.

Well worth paying the extra amount for the premium appraisal in my opinion.

Getting a free appraisal from some of the experienced members here is better than anything anyone has for sale IMO

I disagree, I won't go into my reasons why tho as I don't wanna start a argument..

For something like this I would defo go proffesional and agree with Sedo.

 

[fischermx]

I understand both arguments.

I'd like to ask for a an individual, but I don't have too much time in this so, I don't know somebody to ask. I don't want to do a random approach to some members and just ask.

I'd be willing to accept advise if I'd receive a PM offering help.
BTW, it is a name in spanish, so, it makes it a bit more difficult, I guess.

Who appraises the domain at SEDO?
The answer is experienced domain sellers, probably only 1 of them

Who appraises the domain at DNF?
Dozens of domain sellers, some of whom are more experienced than those people who work at SEDO

Where are done the domain appraisals for acquisitions in DNF ?

(Domain appraisals forum is for owner, I have been rejected there several times when I ask for advise for a domain to buy)

I remember these experienced domain appriasers apprasing a forum of mine for mid xx.

I sold it for $500 2 weeks later, people lowball ya on here in my opinion, this has been brought up before and I don't wanna bring it up again, thats just my opinion, for something as serious as a domain worth this much I would go elsewhere.

Yes, I totally agree. The reasons is easy to guess : all are potential buyers, so they don't want to tell you your domain/site worth well.

I asked for a an appraisal here for a 4 letters domain some weeks ago, I was told it only worth the reg fee. I sold it in sedo for $300.00.

That's however, don't apply for me respecting this thread topic, I want an appraisal for a domain I want to buy.... and still wating pm's ...

Appraisals are just a waste of time IMO. A domain is worth whatever it is worth to YOU (as a buyer), and that's the only thing that matters. You are the ONLY one that knows what exactly you're going to do with the domain and you're in the best position to evalute the earning potential. Whatever an apprasier tells you a domain is worth is at best the worth to him/her, you may have other ideas.

 

[Jack Gordon]

The fundamental problem is that every domain is unique, and there is going to be a different set of experiences and precedents used to grade them. If you want an accurate appraisal, buy a diamond or a house.

You are right though, the appraisal forum here is inappropriate for what you need. Sedo seems to have a good reputation - I would suggest checking them out. I also wouldn't be surprised if several members here came through and offered to help you as well - never underestimate the generosity of the people at this place.

That was probably because, to most resellers, the name was crappy...no offense

There aren't many members on this forum who try and lowball appraisals, what happens is the "professionals" dont like the name, but some newbie or buyer with a different opinion will pay more for it.

The exact same thing probably would have happened with a paid appraisal, the name would have been appraised for low amounts and you still could have sold it for more.

Stop insulting the members here who spend their valuable time giving free appraisals.

 

[Ross1982]

I haven't insulted anyone, it's been brought up before and I just mentioned it again.

Get off ya high horse and don't tell me what to do.

And when it is a fully functional site the site behind it is more important then the domain, the domain is only the sole importance when it is just a domain, it wasn't just a domain name, one person who appriased it in xx appriased it as a site, not just domain, which while I appreciate he took the time, I couldn't help but laugh.

I knew full well the domain was pretty crappy as it was long (Even tho it was extremely relevant to the site), but I wasn't just asking for that.

the name would have been appraised for low amounts and you still could have sold it for more.

Yes, the NAME would of, but I wasn't asking for an appraisale on just the name alone, and it still got lowballed.

I got other opinions elsewhere on it all as a whole and tho I didn't get it appriased for what I sold it for, it was far more realistic appraisals.

ok, everyone take a deep breath, say "ooooouuuuuummmmmmmmm" and remember to keep it civil.

 

[Ross1982]

It is civil, isn't it?

I won't post what I am like when I am not civil as I wouldn't do that on here, but I don't think I have been un-civil.

 

[fischermx]

Two questions :
1.- Who's gonna help me with my appraissal ? :undecided

2.- How much for annakournikova ? :-D

As has already been suggested by two people, SEDO will be very pleased to help you with your appraisal. I think they charge Euro 19 for the standard one and Euro 39 for the premium one.

If you are looking at a domain name worth thousands of dollars, these amounts are very low.

If you are looking to buy the name, you obviously won't be under any obligation to pay the value they come up with, but it could help you in deciding how much you are prepared to pay.

2.- How much for annakournikova ? :-D

Is this a domain name? Which extension?

Do you want an appraisal for annakournikova? If so, I suggest you indicate if you want a reseller value or an enduser value, as this might not be obvious from any replies given.

Hi @ all,

I have to agree and to disagree with some of the arguments in this
interesting thread. I've read many very good and professional appraisals
in the appraisal section of this forum. You can be assured that the
domain professionals here at DNF have enough experience to estimate
a domain name's rough value.

If you want a more professional and accurate appraisal you need to
go to a domain appraiser like Sedo is. Although I offer domain appraisals
myself I must agree that most of Sedo's appraisals are very good and
reflect the domain's fair market price.

But before ordering an appraisal you need to decide what kind of
domain appraisal you'd like to get. Would you like to know your domain's
fair market price or would you also like to get a detailed domain analysis?

You get a simple price estimate from Afternic for $9.75. I offer them, too,
for $3.00. This kind of appraisal is just the determination of your domain's
fair market price to give you an idea of the worth of your domain. It's
more an orientation than a sales argument.

If you need an extended appraisal you usually pay more: Sedo offers them
for $19 and $39, Afternic takes $19.95 and I take $19. Now we talk about
a domain name analysis which is about 5 pages long. These domain
appraisals are more accurate than a simple price quote, but you have to
decide what you need.

You can get simple domain appraisals starting at $3.00, an accurate domain
analysis starting at $19.00 and you can get free domain appraisals here
on the forum. Well, you never know what kind of appraisal you get here
but mostly you get good estimates for what you can ask for your domain
name.

By the way I can only agree with MovieDomains:

ok, everyone take a deep breath, say "ooooouuuuuummmmmmmmm" and remember to keep it civil.

Anyway you only get what the seller is willing to pay, don't you? So, good
luck with selling your domains guys, keep it civil and have fun!
