discuss GoDaddy Gives Big Bump To 4L .com Domain Values

[DaveX]

I noticed this morning that the automated valuations of 4L .com has gone up dramatically.

Not sure why but many of my 4L .com domain automated values have more than doubled!

 

[DaveX]

It seems all short domains! 3L, 4L, etc.

Examples:
xus.org was $2437, now $4468
prge.com was $1540, now $4070
xafl.com was $1430, now $4263

and so on...

Not sure if it's a glitch or what, but definitely domain values according to GoDaddy have gone way up!

When you last checked ?

Well, I check all the time.

My last full update of values was in January 2020.

Long overdue, if true.

Conspiracy; i think GD purposely under-valued "liquid", inflated the rest.

Now fix appraise 90% .com $1K+ add dates to sales "comps"

Did you check yours to confirm? Seems any short .com, .net, .org got a big bump.

[Samer]

4L.com doubled, even 4x value.

5L.com only got ~$300 added.

Totally agree.

Sending the updated valuation asap here.

Nothing unexpected here. Domainers are still overpaying, and hugedomains bot is still inflating the prices on expired auctions. Valuations are shown there. GD must have noticed decreased renewal rate, which is natural. So, GD+hugedomains decided to extract as much $$$ as possible from domainers...

How will the new assigned values extract more from domainers? Do you think the new assigned values are too high?

 

[Mister Funsky]

I did a spot check of a few 4L, 5L, and 6L .com names.

4L had increases from 2x with the highest being 4x previous value.
5L had some increase from .5x up to 1.5x previous value.
6L had minimal increase if any.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

[Mister Funsky]

sorry...namepros has been goofy for me for about a day...duplicate post from above.

ADD: I wonder if data from uni and/input from uni employees had some influence on the change?

Higher "appraisal" --> higher sales prices. Preferably, paid by domainers (not hugedomains, they are not actively looking to win)

 

[DaveX]

Preferably, paid by domainers

LOL

 

[biggie]

Do you think the new assigned values are too high?

lol

that's funny

cuz, basically you asking him, if an appraisal bots value, is accurate or not?

time for a blunt...

imo...

Hmm, likely just another a bug. Better report this to the GoDaddy Bugs thread;
https://www.namepros.com/threads/godaddy-bugs.1137384/

Otherwise, the only way to truly determine value is by combining biggie's success formula:

iq + $ + D*1 + M*1 + AP + (S*1 x E*1) / OT = POS © biggie.us

where
iq = intelligence
$ = capital
d1 = desire
m1 = motivation
ap = aptitude
s1 = skills
e1 = experience
ot = other tangibles
pos = possibility of success

and urljunky's pricing formula:

If I had a domain "picturepalace.com" and I was going to sell it. and i use the formula of key word search volume times 35% click through rate times cost per click times 10 months. so picture has lets say 5 million searches and palace has 1 million searches. palace cpc is .20 and picture is .35. (this is all hypothetically speaking.) and the exact phrase match is low, but it is brandable. so 35% of 6m is 2,100,000. lets average out cpc to .25. so 2,100,000 x .25 = $525,000. now would i multiply $525,000 x 10? or is it worth $525,000? or does that formula only apply to exact phrase domain names?

and that should help the real valuation.
