Appraise This

[GreenGambler]

I hate that companies charge high dollar for appraisals.

I think a good percentage of a DNs value is either in the eye of the beholder or just luck and to truley appraise the final sell price of that DN is almost like fortune telling.

If youve been had by an appraisal or sold the DN for either way more or less, let us know.


I want to see an appraisal company that will back up the quoted sell price with a garauntee.

If the DN does not sell for the appraised price, while listed on the appraisers site and/or elswhere within 1 year they should offer to buy the DN for low bottom dollar appraised. Or 50% or something.
TDNAM for instance. If they say its worth 150-300 and you list it for a year with them and the DN doesnt sell, they should buy it from you for 150 or 75 or something. A GUARANTEE! They have the ability to hold the DN and try to sell it on their site for the remainder of the registration,............ featured and all

They could even throw in a clause that says the DN being appraised must be reg'd for at least 2 years or something.


Any thoughts.... Anyone else hate that appraisals cost so much or are even performed for a fee.

P.S.

I've never paid for an appraisal... anywhere.

Unfortunately, while nice in theory, it's not obtainable in practice.

Partly because of liquidity concerns (I mean, if Zesty and Chappy had all of their names appraised at once, Sedo would be royally fracked!), but also because the market can change very quickly.

Recently, it's been moving in an upward trend, but that doesn't mean that some extensions can't and don't lose value.

Just my .02

Thanks for the comments Alan, much appreciated...


They could do a max of 10 garaunteed appraisals a year for one person. All other appraisals could be non-garaunteed... like usual.

Plus they could charge a higher price for garaunteed appraisals to offset the cost of possibly having to buy the DN.

Alos this would make them have to be more realistic w/ there appraisals and possible give a larger range in value.

Any more thoughts on this topic?
