discuss GoDaddy Appraisal Tool - not working

[krishmk]

GoDaddy Appraisal Tool has suddenly stopped working.
Checked both as guest and in logged in mode.
If you enter a domain - instead of showing the estimated value - it searches for domain availability and says domain is available for registration or not.

Can any of you guys cross-check?

It never worked so why bother?

 

[Sutruk]

Not working... it seems they are doing some changes. I found it useful because of the similar domain sales not reported anywhere else...
Anyway, soon GD will be reporting the Top 20 monthly sales, and that's very good.

Yep, it went offline yesterday evening EST. It should only be available to domain investors (someone with 20 plus registrations) and/or those that domain club members. It's appraisals are generally too low...makes it difficult to make a buyer understand the real value of a higher tier domain.

i don't care about their appraisals/valuation what i do care about is domain sales history which
helps me to choose the right type of backorder i want to place and is(or was?) a useful comparison tool for offering to a buyer/seller
it is probably the only worthy GD product which is or was free

Well, it was always in beta

Will it automatically work for investors with 20+?
It seems strange that this happened out of the blue with no explanation for those of us who are long-time GD users.

It doesn't seem to work at all...when typing a nonsensical .com in, rather than offer to register it like normal, it is saying it is available for $1 per month.

Some overpaid executive is trying the new/used car method of selling...ie: 'how much can you afford to pay a month'. Amazing.

I'm curious what was the issue.

To your credit, except for;"bad valuator joke", never recalled an instance Govalue down.

Any chance Buy Govalue(.)com, @Joe Styler, @Paul Nicks?
