closed Here is a test for you

[Domainidol]

I have just sold a domain name

dial2claim.com

if you like you can try and guess the selling price to see how close you are to real value.

you tell me how much I sold it for and we can see who got it right.

it will be interesting to see how accurate you are in appraising.

I will tell you the price later.

I wonder how many of you will be confident enough to put a price

hrm.. In my eyes it isnt even worth $10, and Im sure everyone will say the same.
Just tell us, end-users will pay much more for a domain, since it is worth more to them than to us resellers

I would appraise that name at $0.00.

But as we all know (or should know!), a name is worth exactly that which a buyer will pay. Hopefully some buyer (enduser) out there placed a high value on this name. Perhaps some pre-existing company coined the term "dial2claim", and now you are a millionaire.

Just to let you know that I see many people here base their appraisal on overture results with or without extention..... and I don't agree on that way of appraisal.

Also I like to mention that overture result can be obtained when you pay money (bidding system for search engine PPC.)

overture does what you can do yourself but charge you money for it.

the name dial2claim does not have overture result nor it has any traffic but still was sold to a buyer who was willing to pay for it.

for your information it was sold x,xxx

just to proof your $10 is wrong and I have another name similar to dial2claim which is going now for higher x,xxx and has no traffic at all just new name I registered last month.

I would appraise that name at $0.00.

LOL maybe I am a millionair but not from this name, I wish.

If you appraise that name $0.00 and you say that some buyer out there is willing to pay more then you are only appraising from your view and that is wrong because it was sold at x,xxx so your appraisal was not correct.

the value of the domain name can not be placed on your own view of the domain.

there are so many factors including how much the buyer is willingn to pay for it.

We can't ignore all other factors in valuing a domain name. and by the way overture is out of the question of this factors and should not be taken in account in the basic vluation but can be added value to the final price because of the traffic.

this is how i normaly price domains to the end user - i'll decide on the minimum value due to the qualiy of the name and then add a premium due to traffic.

However, if I need to sell to a reseller then it's a traffic domain will normaly be sold purely on the traffic and a non-traffic domain will be sold due to the quality of the name minus a percentage bacause the reseller will need to find a buyer.

btw: to say that a $10 valuation is wrong is also wrong - they're clearly valuing the domain in the reselle market.

Any reseller buying the domain would need to market the domain and find a buyer.

It can be argued that any domain without traffic has a reseller value of $0 - the only value is what an end user will pay.

Another valuation point is what it would cost to buy the domain from an end user. An end user may only be able to justify a $1k bid to purchase a domain but once they've got they're hands on it then a $10k bid might be needed to pry it out of they're hands.

Valuation of a non-traffic domain depends on so many factors that a request to value xxxxxx.com can be pointless unless more info is given. This is why I always try to google the buyer of a domain before I set a price.

Well... if you really got that much for that domain, congrats. I would also give it a value of $0. I can't even think of what kind of site you could develop with such a domain.

 

[alldig]

There is no test. You got lucky and sold a reg fee name to an end user for four figures. Big deal... Any name registered can be sold to an end user for four figures if marketed properly. The fact is that the secondary market value for dial2claim.com is $0 undeveloped and without traffic. In summary, the actual domain name is worthless as millions of domains of similar caliber could be obtained at registration fee. Think to yourself, why would someone pay a premium for this domain?

 

[croupier]

I can see a value in the domain - an accident lawyer might use it for a website. i've seen companies use 'net speak' like dial2claim even though their company isn't mainly based on the net.

However, finding a buyer for this kind of name would be difficult which is why I understand the low reseller values given.
