Definitely 0.
And I echo the sentiments by peak.domains
Mentioning software appraisals as a buyer or seller is not a good idea IMHO.
Sharing comparable sales to support yourself as a buyer or a seller!?
Now that is more professional and more accurate for all parties involved.
Comps are great, but how do you propose I sell PlanToGrow.com off of comps? I sold PlanToGrow.com for $24,500 in March. RoomToGrow.com is in the comps and undersold at $2,500. That domain was basically stolen in that deal and the domain should have sold at $50k plus. So how do you legitimately compare something like that with comps? You can't. Especially if you are extracting the most value from your domains and many of the comps are not.
Domain valuations should foremost be a tool for the buyer and in the future, they will be. The poll is about buyers, but 99% of us are not REAL buyers for an actual business. We are domain investors and a very select few of us purchase names for over $10,000. But did you know there are designers, that make a living off of charging $20,000+ for logos. Artwork.
As professionals in the industry, wouldn't it create a better experience for the buyer to have an appraisal on the "For Sale" page that actually worked? If we are selling a domain and it is listed at $45,000, and next to it there is an appraisal that accurately showed an estimated price of around $50,000, wouldn't that be beneficial to both us and the buyer?
The buyer's of Big Ticket items have Psychological Barriers that we need to overcome. These are overcome by
reducing risk,
increasing trust, and providing them
unbiased information that helps to
validate their purchase decision.
If you look at the page below from your buyer's perspective, I think it would be hard to deny that your customer's experience and buying process would not be improved with the appraisal included in the page.
Honestly ask yourself a few questions:
- Would the appraisal below help your customer feel less risk?
- Would the appraisal below improve your customer's trust in your price?
- Does the appraisal provide information that helps validate their purchase decision?
If you answered yes to any one of the questions above, this helps to remove the Psychological Barriers that exists for
every buyer in high-ticket purchases. Removing Psychological Barriers equals higher sales for you and I.
