Which appraisal service?

slobizman · 01-01-2006, 11:47 AM

I'm thinking about getting an appraisal for a name I own. Never had had one done before. I'm interested in your opinions of the best place to get one--Sedo? Afternic? Who else?

I've got an offer for a name that I think is really a great name and I have a feeling that an appraisal will legitimize the idea of the price I have in mind for it. If it does, the money would be well spent, to help convince this buyer or any future buyer regarding this name.

So, who should I use? Do they take a long time to get?

Thanks!!!

You can get a FREE one here..

Also Godaddy now offers paid appraisals.

But IMO,
A domain is only worth what someone is willing to pay...

I'm looking for a "formal" appraisal, not a peer appraisal.

I agree with "A domain is only worth what someone is willing to pay", but I also understand marketing very well and clever marketing can get people to pay more.

I agree with the "Clever Marketing"

However, If your buyer is an educated buyer, imo, you might waste your money.
