Of course I don't own it, but I am interested in the appraisal valuations given here.

Pretend there is NO web site attached to the name. Then, based on whatever formulas you use, give your best ballpark value as to how much you think it's worth in TODAY'S market.

If you want, provide an explanation for your methodology.

Let me start the ball rolling by giving it a value of $3 Million.

Anyone else?

I'd say minimum $50 million based on information I've seen.

The previous owner was making upwards of $3 million per month just pointing the domain at affiliate programs.

Maybe this will put things into perspective. If you owned a product that everyone from time to time thinks about or uses, and you were the only person that made it...How much would that product be worth??

Since this product is sold world wide, and can be purchased 24/7. I would say this product is extremely valuable.

My guess is: $250 million

Rarely will you find a product you can "make" with such little overhead, costs compared to revenue are minimal, and the "exclusivity factor" all make this a one-of-a-kind cash cow.

It was taken? Even more of a question, why didn't anyone else pick up F---.com last year for $8.95?

Answer: There can only be one.

Actually this one is easy to evaluate. As a develped site it gets 500,000 hits a day, that is what they claim. It is basically an adult pay search engine.

At $0.05 (my guess) a vist that is $25,000 a day or about $10,000,000 a year. As for a site valuation I say $30,000,000 to $100,000,000. With the latter in a "good" market.

The domain by its self undeveloped more like $10,000,000 - $25,000,000

On thing to keep in mind is a well capitalized competitor in the adult search business could eat into thier market if they do a better job, just like with non adult search engines. I would check out sex.tv when it opens in October for example.
