Two word with an "e" supphix, ain't worth much if you ask me.

Albert, would be nice to appraise in this thread for everyones benefit.

 

[zandor]

well... if I'm not mistaken eprivatejet.com was sold for $1800 not long ago. There're quite a few two word .coms with an "e" sufix going for premium prices if you check with some of the major resellers...

 

[lyndonmaxewell]

well you cant compare like this. firstly the buyer bought in a bundle, eprivatejet and privatejet.

 

[zandor]

Well... personally I think the "e" may work nicely regardless if it's one or two words or if it's a bundle. For instance, "eCommerceConsulting.com" is listed for sale at buydomains.com.

This criteria of ["e" + 2 words (and no bundle) = bad] is quite relative at best:

eSchoolbooks.com: request price
eMicrosystems.com — for $2,500.00
eBizPortal.com — for $1,688.00
eBusinessDeveloper.com — for $1,188.00
eBusinessPortal.com — for $1,188.00
eCommerce-Solutions.com — for $2,788.00
eBusinessConnection.com — for $2,700.00
eBusinessJournal.com — for $2,600.00

By the way, it's also funny to note how a worthless domain thread has 50 views in less than 24 hours.

 

[WhoDatDog]

The thread has views because there was a response to a bad name. It turns out the initial response was an advertisement for an appraisal.

The name is worth zero.

eBiz, eBusiness, and eCommerce are terms identified and understood in the business world. That would be like comparing apples with oranges.

I love it when people get offended at low appraisals of their names.

 

[britishbulldog]

I remember fashionwalkers.com was appraised on here for not much than reg fee by 20 or so members the guy who put the post up had the last laugh as he had already sold it for 17.5k and beleive it or not fashionwalker.com was still available at reg fee.

I still cant work this game out even some of the crap on dnjournal goes for crazy money,the value seems to be in the eye of the beholder and when they connect thats when the sale goes ahead but generally the beholder values it much higher but you do get the rare circumstances where the buyer is clueless like fashionwalkers.com or were they ?

Who knows ?

I love it when people get offended at low appraisals of their names.

I was embarassed when I woke up today and read again this thread, and I'd like to apologise if I got upset and manifested it in an offensive way to any member of this forum.

Anyway, the name may or may not be worthless, but I agree with BritishBulldog that there's a lot of subjectivity in many evaluations.

The "objective" criteria that I didn't agree with was the formulaic thinking that "e" + 2 words=bad domain. Especially because this actually seems more like a subjective criteria disguised as as an objective one.

Adequate marketing and a winning product can do wonders for stupid names, like google, for instance. Ok, it's a .com, single word and generic, but "google"??? In my opinion yahoo.com is the cool one and google would be mediocre, at best...

I totally agree that not all, but a lot, is the eyes of the beholder, his vision, and the professional implementation of an idea.

That can make domain appraisals an extremelly interesting and complex business.

eBiz, eBusiness, and eCommerce are terms identified and understood in the business world. That would be like comparing apples with oranges.

I agree, these are common words, already incorporated in our daily vocabulary. Actually I didn't spend much time looking for examples, but I'm sure there are others.

But anyway, honestly, what would you tell me about "eschoolbooks.com" and "emicrosystems.com"? Especially, what's so different between something like emicrosystems.com and ejetplane.com? These names are also in the original list, but you didn't mention them.

I'm a newbie and I may very well be missing something here, but if that's the case, I'd be gratefull if some of the experienced members could elaborate on the issue.

In general,

When appraisals are given, one can't argue with an appraisal. In reality, what someone appraises your domain is what they would pay for it.. Or, thats the way it should work.

One may appraise a domain at $30 and another at $1,500, its basically saying, that guy might see something in the domain the other doesn't but you can't fault the guy with the lower appraisal.

"Zandor" if you want new names to get appraised, please ask in a new thread.

Actually those aren't my domains, and their respective market values are accessible to anyone here, as they are listed for sale at buydomains.com. I've mentioned that.

They are in my original examples list above, but dcristo chose to leave them out when making his comment, maybe because their values are harder, or even impossible to justify according to the criteria applied in this thread.

Also, I respectfully disagree that when posting here anyone is asking how much another member would pay for the domain in the title.

I thought the whole point of posting here was to ask for appraisals, which at least for me is a completely different thing, meaning help to assess a domain value according to thoughtfull criteria.

I'm not defending my own domain listed in the title. At this point I'm much more interested in learning why something like eMicroSystems.com apparently has some value while something like eJetPlane.com is worthless.

When someone gives you an appraisal, they're basically saying how much they think the domain is worth, so in reality, that means, if they think its worth that much (if they had the money and wanted it, they would pay that much) obviously because they appraised it at a certain value.

Thats what an appraisal comes down to. Thats why you see so many domains with different appraisals.. When asking for an appraisal, you wont always get the true value of the domain, only an idea.


Also, when asking about other domains while comparing them to yours, think about the development potential between each.
