    | Appraisal Companies? Somebody recently contacted me regarding one of my "Wii" domains, asking what price I was selling it for. After providing his with the price, he then asked me whether I have an appraisal certificate. Now, I am fairly new to this, and this is the first time i've actually seen this mentioned. I would assume that such companies who provide "certified" appraisals are merely groups of domainers, similar to what we have here on namepros, who charge for their expertise. Is this the case? It just so happens i've had several offers for the domain in question and was not particularly prepared to enlist the -paid- services of an "expert" when its clear from places like this website, sitepoint etc that opinions about the value of a domain varies greatly. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/192719-appraisal-companies.html I also did not feel that such a company whose only interest is to make money from their "expertise" would take the time to actually consider the domain in context. Anyhow, I was just curious about these so called "certified" experts - whether any of you have had positive/negative experiences and whether their appraisals hold any tangible weight. Cheers |

      | Scam on. Did they sign the email "______, PhD" ? Seems to be another pattern. Anyone who's buying who wants an appraisal certificate referencing a forum is a scam. -Allan
