Well, maybe $20,000 is too much for defacto.com.
I said that under the assumption that the $16,000 bid for the name on Afternic is legit, which as we all know may not be the case.
That being said, I think the name is really worth something.
defacto.com is not a type-in name -- its worth does not come from any traffic. Rather, it is a vanity name -- a domain that is good for a business image. Since it is a vanity name and not a traffic name, we must adjust our valuation model.
What about defacto.com?
According to NetCraft, there are 288 sites with defacto in the url. One would think that a handful of the companies represented here would be willing to pay some money for defacto.com.
