If you scroll down after the appraisal, you will see your chance of sale is "18.2% in next 20 years". Not sure what we are supposed to do with that bizarre rating.
This gives a perspective on those in the industry that do not necessarily follow standard portfolio conversion rates as many of the rest of us do. This estimates the most ideal buyer in the most ideal situation. Rick Schwartz has sold only 35 domains in 20 years, and that was 35 out of his 6,500 domains. His conversion stats are close to this 18.2% statistic. To be as accurate as possible, the tool needs to include the top levels of domain sellers in the estimations, just as it includes the pricing levels of sellers who liquidate their domains.
As you can see below, some of Rick's published sales are extremely close to the NameWorth estimates.

While we were off by half on one estimate, we are still within the range of what we call "in-the-ballpark". What is "in-the-ballpark"? We consider a price "in-the-ballpark" when you can double it or half it and still come up with the sales price.
