discuss Will they Ever be a 9-Figure Domain Sale?

That will never happen. It's been a long time. If they wanted to buy Nissan.com, they would have done it already. They just want to pay courts and lawyers. To buy Nissan.com is losing face in their mind.

I realize the Rosener Equation was proposed some years ago (2011 I think) but would be interesting to find a situation using that way to evaluate a domain worth that justified a 9 figure sum.

Or alternatively using some other metric of domain worth. That is what name would be worth 9 figures, and how would you justify the price to a corporate board.

That is a sound policy. Not to mention, reported sales from marketplaces, do not take into account "sales" that were cancelled. That's what I read here on NP anyway.

Domain sales history sites are sort of like appraisals (although not quite). Use them as a gauge, but not as "gospel".

But still, would love to see that source of the Escrow.com statement.

Many times, resellers/hobbyists follow a trend in sales data rather than following a trend in asset developments. This can lead to some false positives, making it appear that their is value in a single variable that was influenced by the wrong trending focus and leading to a bad investment that looked good on the surface because so many other investors were buying them, inflating sales data and giving the appearance of end-user demand, when it was actually hyped reseller demand. Big difference.

The trick here would be to look for dictionary .org ending in "er" to find ones that are closer comps, dictionary is too broad by itself and you should also match the part of speech or tense.

Yes, I believe so.

This sale will be a very high sale.
Maybe it will even be a higher sale than a 9-figure - sale.
However, I believe it will be the highest sale because I have reasons to believe that...

rent.com, hotmail.com sold for 400+ million each many years ago. But they are not domain only sales.
Cloud.com sold for 200+ million 5+ years ago. Probably it is also not a domain only sale.
Youtube.com sold for 1+ Billion.
Yahoo.com may be sold for 30 Billion.
