GoDaddy valuation is seriously flawed


Name: flyingsaucers.com
Traffic: 182
Bids: 83
Price: $4,010
Valuation: $27 <--- WTF?

Link to sale (finished):

https://auctions.godaddy.com/trpItem...?miid=34503061

Seriously? $27 ? ? ? I realize the valuation system is automated, but seriously, estibot does a better job than this.

There are still people paying for them so why should GoDaddy care?

I bet you would see far less of these if GoDaddy were forced to underwrite them

I can understand toni.com currently at £43k or possibly fuel.net at £90k though still overpriced I think but vote-democrat-2008.com at £34k??!

When you actually look through the entire appraised domains list you see how much of a scam it really is, just look at how many domains are valued at £34,315 as an example.

All they need to do is take some mugs money, stamp a random number onto their domain and walk away laughing.
