Estibot Appraisals - Drastically different depending on letter case

[demaxxus]

So, has anyone else noticed how drastically different Estibot's appraisals are depending on the case of the letters you use?

For example, here are some appraisals for DNForum:

dnforum.com
Domain Alone: $2,800 USD
Considering Traffic: $890,000 USD

DNForum.com
Domain Alone: $40 USD
Considering Traffic: $2,100,000 USD

DnFoRuM.com
Domain Alone: reg fee
Considering Traffic: $2,100,000

Can't understand people are putting faith in these kinds of tools <sigh>

"For best results, capitalize the keywords For instance: ProfitCash.com"

[geodic]

Estibot keeps their old database search results and gives those results on all that you type in using capital letters or seperate words unless you change it like this or other creative ways:

normal - Red Torpedos gives the old database results and will not go and search - it will not show recently registered TLDs or current search results!

redTorpedos or redtorpedos - it will take more time and it will be noticeable but it will give you more accurate results on what the latest MSN, Google results and what TLDs are currently taken.

It tries to parse on capital letters or just chunks through on what it thinks makes sense.

I use Estibot as a quick first 'Hello' on keyword combos for search results and TLDs taken but I always have to double check if I find something interesting before I put much time on it!

Just FYI trivia

sdsinc, I didn't say I put faith in Estibot. I realize their values need to be taken with a grain of salt and don't do a very good job at overall estimations, but I know a lot of people here use it so I figured I'd post this.

What do you do with appraisal if you have no buyer?

What do you do with appraisal if you have no buyer?

If you have one, don't refer to the estibot appraisal, because it means you have no clue what your domain is worth

[Johnn]

I own the name, I control the price based on my own appraisal. The buyer either take it or leave it.
I don't use anything including MessMeBot.

estibot is sooooooooooooooo chancy.

I use a similar tool but it is 99% accurate and has been for years...

Joshibot.com

JP, I think your tool's broken man. Every domain I appraise comes back with a value of $404.
