domain appraisal hindsight is always 20/20?

[Izekat]

Ever appraised a name for low $$ and then it turned out to be a runaway success? (or the other way around)?

I mean .. what would microsoft.com or any other famous name be worth today?

And if someone just posted .. 'hey, what do you think of microsoft.com'? What would your honest reply be if you never heard of the company before?


What i am trying to get at .. is how do professional appraisers appraise a name? Is it just how it sounds? or do they dissect the meaning and synergy of the name as well?

You might sell a name for $20.00 or so, and then if a nice concept
is built around it, and executed properly, it may fetch hundreds if not thousands times that. Names are great but I believe that concepts are what separates the few from the masses.

In other words, think twice before selling a name.
