Domain Name Liquidation Value

[DomainMart]

The paper outlines a statistical model to estimate the liquidation value of a domain name. The valuation model is based on the average ask price for domain names with the same characteristics. Information on sold as well as unsold domain names is included in the model’s dataset. The estimated liquidation value can also be used to predict the impact of distress on a domain name’s market value.

I've just read that and all I can say is...WOW! I'd like to think I'm an educated man but I have no idea what that means and I'm terrified to click the link... If anyone can break it down I'm sure it would help alot of people...

Hello Lux,

The details are relatively non-technical. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,

The model itself seems sound in basic premise. I'm wondering what constants or variables you'd plug in to determine a true dollars (or pounds, yen whatever) value, and how you calculate intangibles in a "distress" situation?

 

[DomainMart]

The variables are described in a slightly technical paper at http://www.domainmart.com/news/Appraisal_Based_on_Estimating_Value_Generating_Process.pdf that is also referenced in the paper.

interesting concept...
it would be fun to see the model. I'm into all that number-crunching

Very interesting material. I've downloaded the PDF from your link, as well as, the other PDFs from the links you have provided in the document. I think a quantified, statistical approach to domain name valuation is something that the industry has lacked and is in need of. Judging from what I've read, thus far, you have made some real headway w/ a subject that is difficult and allusive, to say the least. Thank you for sharing this and I am sure I will have some questions for you after I've studied the material in more depth. :tu:

only 2 pages..?

I think the link in the OP was meant to be an intro. I've downloaded 3 different PDF file documents, so far. Look for the 2 additional links at the footer of the document.
