I am shocked everyone is willing to pay 5k here for that domain. I guess it's easy making appraisals when you don't have to back it up with money.

This doesn't make sense. If it's that easy, everyone can appraise it for $xxxxx to make op happy.

I believe members are providing appraisals based on individual sales experience. I post my appraisal after did some researching work via google and past sales history. The resell value suggestion is not based on the price I would like to pay but the lowest range I can consider to sell in a certain period.

e.g. I appraised Goyo(dot)com in $5k resell range, but it doesn't mean I'm definitely willing to buy it for $5k. As every reseller does, I want to pay as low as possible. So I negotiated a deal for around $3k and sold it to end user for $9k later.

That's my point. I'm not here to wreck this thread but reseller prices is what the majority are willing to pay. It should be a range. I believe your appraisal was 6-8k.

A reseller price should be based on what us resellers are willing to pay. If you took 20 random resellers on this forum and put them in an auction for the domain. Even if they did not want the domain, where would the price land?

Any time a person has added interest in a domain it is no longer reseller prices. There is interest beyond the CVCV domain itself and therefore possible end user value.

I'm not sure if you're still following, but my point is...take 20 random resellers on this forum and there is no way they are paying 6-8k. So, therefore it's not worth that much to a reseller.

For any domain...end users are usually paying much more than double the reseller price. So a valuation of 8k reseller and 15k end user... less than double is innacurate by all means.

My two cents...you don't have to agree.

For better appraisals, you have to find 20 random resellers who has traceable quality CVCV domain sales records to end users.

Not just 20 random resellers Every individual reseller is good at certain extensions and categories, but not all.

And I agree with you that we don't have to agree with each other, but we are all trying to benefit the forum by sharing opinions Shake hands.

You're missing my point. Fine, let's take 20 resellers who are familiar with CVCV's.

What would be their average purchase price? Are you telling me it's 6-8k ?

Doc is approaching this like people on the forum are lowballing appraisals. I find the opposite happening. I find appraisals on this forum are exaggerating actual prices.

At the end of the day...an appraisal is an appraisal. The difference between an appraisal and the final sale price are two separate things. Sometimes higher and sometimes lower.

If the CVCV market heats up again, why not?

But if the domain is mine, I won't let it go for lower than $6k, that's my opinion and the base of my appraisals The range might change though.

An appraisal and what you're willing to let it go for are two separate things though.

There are names i am not willing to let go for under 50k. That doesn't mean they are worth that though

Good luck to the OP though, i wish him all the best with the name.

An appraisal and what you're willing to let it go for are two separate things though.

An appraisal is a valuation based on similar sold properties.

Look at any real estate MLS.

There are striking simularities.

We are forgetting that the seller asked for an appraisal of his properties based on sold properties.

I seriously look at the market and made what I thought were sound comparison between this name and one that just sold.

I illustrated the pluses and minuses of the two.

I also wanted to point out there there are two sides to a reseller valuation - which is exactly what we got.

One person saying he would (no offer made) foresee paying 3K.

Members, including myself, put a reseller value (asking price) at 5K.

In regards to end-user.

I consider all my sales and negotiations going to an end user. When you negotiate on sedo and send to auction or sell at a negotiated price, you have no idea who you are selling to. I assume all sales are end user, domainer or not.

This forum is a little different in that we know where offers are coming from. However, that by no means negates the fact that if I sell a domain to you on a forum that you will not be the end user. You may in fact build a site.

Giving an appraisal should be based on what similar items are selling for in the current market.

An end-user is that person out there (and it may be a domainer) who is willing to go up to $65,000.00 for Leta dot com but would like to get it cheaper.

That is why I say the enduser market is nearly impossible to factor in what someone might be willing to pay.

Thanks for your passionate opinions!


By the way;
According to translate.google.com, "Leta" means "Search" in Swedish.
Can anyone who speaks Swedish confirm this?

What kind of affect would this have on reseller value?

[Banned: theinvestor]

I found this..

Leta is a English girl name. The meaning of the name is `Joyful` Where is it used? The name Leta is mainly used In English. From Old English. Leta doesn`t appear In 2007`s top-1000 name list.The last time Leta appeared In the top-1000 was 48 years ago, In 1960. It ranked #905 In that year. . 1890 was a `top year` for the name Leta.

I can confirm that it means "search" in swedish...
But, I wouldn't use the word "leta" if I for example go on google to search for something. Then I would say "söka" instead, which is a different word for the same thing. "Leta", in my opinion atleast, is a older word for search.

Kinda hard to explain, but I hope you understand

Thanks for the info


So in what type of situation would you say Leta?

How would you say:

"Search for music"
or "Search for insurance"
or "Music search"?

I really appreciate this.
My Swedish is terrible.


Leta dot SE looks to be a big search engine of some kind.

[jzatt]

So in what type of situation would you say Leta?

How would you say:

"Search for music"
or "Search for insurance"
or "Music search"?

I can't think of a specific situation when I would use "leta" right now.

"Search for music" > "Söka efter musik"
"Music search" > "musik sök / söka musik"

But I might as well say "Leta efter musik" or "Leta musik". So "Leta" can in most cases be used as "search", but it just doesn't feel completely right.

If anybody else from Sweden can explain this better, please feel free to do so!

Kinda Reminds Me Of A Domain I Sold Last Year.. Cayda.com

[DomainMagnate]

it reminds me of Latte, a little

[Gerry]

Reminds me of an CVCV, LetA


Leta Biasucci



Whatever that is for, I have no idea. I just is, I guess.

[DomainingCom]

The last daughter of my sister is named Sarah but when she was still a baby (a pair of years ago) my mum called her leta (for a reason I ignore), so when I hear leta it makes me think about her.

I will not give any appraisal, as I think it's the typical brandable domain and it's value is NOT based in domain metrics.
So I will simply say that if the name was for sale I will be willing to pay $2-3k for this domain for this personal reason.
