Any valuation thoughts on monetarypolice.com?

Looking at dnsaleprice I've rough esimated it 2k-15k, but it also seems to be a hot topic these days. Opinions also welcome..

Also, I've read reviews of appraisal services all over the place. Any good & current advice for professional services? Leaning towards domainindex.com.

I don't see any value in this one at all. Reg fee name.

You are likely to get better, at least more honest, appraisals here than you will from any service.

I've received a few inquiries with zero marketing, and now a potential end-user is looking at this.

I'm sure. Good luck with it - I will expect to see it on DNJournal next time around.

Anyone else (or INFORG) have thoughts on using dnsaleprice.com as a starting figure for negociating?

Or better yet, how to smoothly temper/create price expectations?

Any wisdom on negociating price with end users, including setting initial offers? All experience is through SEDO thus far.

Always try to get them to throw out a number first. If you must go first - start high, but don't be crazy. When you deal with subjectively valued names like this, it can be a bit challenging. You really have to decide what a name is worth to you (and how much you have invested) and create a range where you won't have seller's remorse. Lots of times that range is really based on what your current financial situation is and how bad you want to sell something.

If you can Google the person and learn about who they are, why they want the name, and what kind of bankroll they might have - it can certainly help know how hard to push. If it was a huge company that made the mistake of rolling out a new service without acquiring the exact match domain first, you have some leverage. If it is a housewife wanting to start her first blog, you may need to adjust your expectations or hold onto the name.

Appraisals and sales prices are usually meaningless to a buyer unless you can show this exact name was sold or was purchased by you for a certain amount. The buyer has a range too - most domains are not "must have".

If the offer is super low, I don't even counter. I just tell them that they should look at registering something by hand, that quality aftermarket domains can't be found in that type of budget, and wish them "good luck" with their project. If they are serious, they usually come back with something more reasonable as a starting point.
