More "appaisal" values for Namepros analysis
Thought I'd investigate estibot a little deeper to see what kind of valuation accuracy it might produce with geo domains in their native country code (cctld) vs. .com.
What's wrong with the following picture?
Canada.ca $9700
Canada.com $1,170,000
Montreal.ca $6200
Montreal.com $638,000
Paris.fr $1600 (All I can say is wow!)
Paris.com $1,280,000
London.co.uk $39,000
London.com $3,830,000
Birmingham.co.uk $21,000
Birmingham.com $298,000
Mexico.mx $40
Mexico.com $1,380,000
Cancun.mx $20
Cancun.com $1,050,000
Berlin.de $21,000
Berlin.com $524,000
I think these clearly illustrate the danger inherent in automated appaisals. The necessary "judgement" & logic required to appraise domain names is just not there.
Estibot's algorithms must receive much more intensive work. To the extent that estibot (and "Valuate.com") are advertised as appraisal tools, their danger to mispresent investor assets must be exposed in a big way.
