OK. I know what I think this one is worth.
But I'm posting here for a few reasons:


(1) Checking to see if I'm crazy.
(2) Showing new domainers just how dysfunctional the market is and how uncertain any sale or price really is.


What do I mean? Well, Outages.net sold for $7,500 right in the middle of my own auction (which is still ongoing) for 3 domains:


ServerOutages.com
ServerOutages.net
ServerOutage.net


Interestingly, a buyer will pay $7,500 for Outages.net but so far nobody has been willing to pay more than $30 apiece for the 3 above.


Topics for discussion:


To what extent is this price difference due to my lack of outbound marketing?


To what extent is this price difference due to differences in real value between the domains?

Zero. It doesn't matter that there was a sale of a somewhat similar domain name (not even close, anyways). Why is it that people always list the examples of the somewhat similar names that sold for prices that were too high? The answer is that people are biased. When they have a name they always spin everything to make the name seem more valuable than it is. You never see someone mention that a similar name sold for $50...lol.

Basically, you post is a bunch of white noise with mostly wrong thought processes being thrown out. It is similar to saying that the Miami Heat won the NBA title last year, but the Charlotte Bobcats beat the Miami Heat in the regular season, therefore, the Charlotte Bobcats are just as good as the Miami Heat. People do this all the time in sports. Team A beats Team B, so therefore Team A should beat Team C, because Team B already beat Team C. That is why bookies drive Cadillacs. Maybe a New York real estate developer should ask why he doesn't date or marry models. After all, Donald Trump is a New York real estate developer, and he dates and then marries models.

Outages.net sucks, anyways. If you took the 100 domainers in the world with the most knowledge, every single one of them would take $7,500 instead of the name Outages.net if they had the choice. It is not 99, it is 100. One hundred percent of domainers would rather have 75 one hundred dollar bills than Outages.net, so because some clown paid $7,500 for Outages.net means zero when talking about the worthless name that is ServerOutages.com.

I know you can do better than this. Publicizing to the world your bad thought processes is not the way to get the trophy at the banquet.

Yes, you're right. That's exactly what I got from your post -- white noise.

Essentially you're saying that citing similar domain sales is meaningless. We shouldn't even attempt to compare domains to see what they can sell for.

A $7,500 sale of a domain? That doesn't count, in your view. It shouldn't be discussed. Why? Because it was worthless. Even if someone has just paid $7,500 for it, that doesn't matter. Why? Because WhoDatDog says it sucks. Therefore that $7,500 may as well be zero. Right?

Sales don't count. What counts is WhoDatDog's arbitrary opinions ... diatribes full of spittle and devoid of evidence or argument.

If you took the 100 domainers in the world with the most knowledge, every single one of them would take $7,500 instead of the name Outages.net if they had the choice.

@WhoDatDog,

Let me explain something to you. There is such a thing as an end user. As domainers, it's our goal to sell to that end user. Clearly the $7,500 sale of Outages.net was an end user sale. And that end user knows what the domain is worth to him better than you do.

So whether or not WhoDatDog da dumbass domainer prefers to have $7,500 in his pocket or ServerOutages.net isn't really relevant here. We're talking about the retail market with a retail buyer paying real money.

When people ask for appraisals, they're usually thinking of the retail market -- and not what WhoDatDog is willing to pay.

You'd spend $7,500 on a wholesale purchase. This $7,500 was a retail purchase. Comparing those two makes no sense.
