OK let's have some fun, what are your appraisals for the following domain:

88-48.com

Is there any 'Chinese' value to the domain?

(I know what I value the domain at and I will post my valuation later so we can all compare notes on how we value domains. )

Hey, i paid $10 for one of those Zimbabwe notes, that was a compliment
Imo these should be worth 500$ to low XXXX$, the reality is they are worth XX...
People don't like hyphens for some reason...

(Edit) note : There are still a couple 88-NN available...(very few)

8848 is the height of Mount Everest. So this might have some special value but don't know due to the hyphens. 8848 is a respected number.
I would value..hmmm... 40-60$

Hyphens kill price imo

There is a new thread up talking about hyphens and the Chinese market that might be of interest to people before appraising the domain, the link to the thread is: https://www.namepros.com/blog/do-companies-in-china-use-hyphenated-domain-names.908604/

Well I was kind of hoping that some domainers would give a take on the use of the hyphen or 'dash' and take it seriously. It was not to be obviously.

I will not bore domainers with the value that can actually be 'added' or 'subtracted' from a domain name by a hyphen or dash. Just to say that considering the number of hyphened or dashed domains there are registered and being registered by end-users and being used either as their primary address or being redirected to another address or indeed being used as a shortener it seems daft that people keep deriding domains with a hyphen / dash in them.

By the way the domain '88-48.com' would even pass the radio test as it would be pronounced as:

"88 dash 48 (dot) com"

Seems strange that other domainers do not recognise this, but glad end users do.
