domains GoDaddy valuations changed – they took $3k off one of my names

[equity78]

I was looking at GoDaddy valuations and I had a name in there of mine. I then was doing some stuff for a few hours and came back and hit refresh for whatever reason. The value of the name dropped by like $900, I was like that's weird not that automated appraisals mean much. In a poll I did on Namepros, 0 was the majority of votes given when asked their importance on a scale of 0 to 10. So … [Read more...]

Thanks

Really appreciate!. Now pivot to estibot;

Voice sold for $30M. See it as an anomaly.
Why does estibot have Voice.com near 100%? Isnt "tougher"?

Conspiracy to think voice.com sale 100% influence this "appraisal"?

Give up

@Bob Hawkes @Grilled @equity78 what do you think of these discrepencies?

anycredit.com

Auction page:
https://www.godaddy.com/domain-auctions/anycredit-com-324559396
$5487

Appraisal page:
https://www.godaddy.com/domain-valu...ckAvail=1&tmskey=&domainToCheck=anycredit.com
$2349

Yeah it's odd I wonder were they lowered after the auctions started and they made the new change with them running already?

 

[gabri3l]

You know what would be plain stupid and realistic?
If they changed the algorithm as an aftermath of the Frank Schilling's $88.5 million domain appraisal.

Some top level executive just realized how bullshit GoDaddy appraisal is. When is coming out of your pocket it seems that you pay more attention to details, who knew that.

P.S. GoDaddy, I know you are reading this! The estimated value on auctions now show Not Available.

 

[CraigD]

Just wondering if this has anything to do with the portfolios and registrars that GD has recently acquired - for example Uniregistry. If the valuation data from those new sources was recently added into the GoValue system it could cause a shakeup.

 

[CraigD]

Godaddy appraisals came back to previous values for me , I think it was type of bug , I am seeing raised value again.

I am also seeing a return to valuation normality today.
Previous years from my records, and todays valuations:

Domain #1: 2018 = $3667, 2019 = $3545, 2020 = $3765
Domain #2: 2018 = $3697, 2019 = $3222, 2020 = $4024
Domain #3: 2018 = $2534, 2019 = $2309, 2020 = $2460
Domain #4: 2018 = $5779, 2020 = $6863
Domain #5: 2018 = $6107, 2020 = $6746
Domain #6: 2018 = $6258, 2020 = $6798
Domain #7: 2018 = $4097, 2020 = $3821​

My Go Daddy appraisal jumped twice in value for 2 weeks. I have two domains I was thinking of selling, one is greatestshowonearth.org and the other is entertainersforum.com . The latter of the two is the one worth more value, Godaddy's estimate jumped from 500 to 1000. How do I go about selling a domain ( I just joined up yesterday ) . I have always heard stories but are there really buyers willing to pay as much for a domain ?

Potentially there are buyers for your domains, but you have to find them. Chances that they'll find you are slim and none.

 

[Amit Kirkole]

in my case,surprisingly prices of some .coms were dropped and .co,.gg,.io increased...

 

[uzver]

on april 17 i checked a .ca and it showed at $3297. i checked it again and it showed $2325. a difference of $972 in two minutes! it shows today at $3014. godaddy appraisals bounce around more than the price of bitcoin!

And it shouldn’t be that way, IMO.

I understand the valuation can change based on the market, but it shouldn’t be that dynamic. After all, if Domain’s market value is 10K today, it shouldn’t change tomorrow to 8K because somebody has just sold a similar name at Afternic for 5K.

one of my domains that i would value below 100$ increased in value while domains i have that i believe can go for much more took a 90% cut but hey who cares about godaddy appraisals

 

[noneisnone]

Wanna see something really juicy?......


Why are the values on the names in GD auction higher than if you just put the name into the appraisal tool?....now thats weird.

Look...heres the auction page for a random name I picked out...
https://www.godaddy.com/domain-auctions/liquidationauction-com-323753791

Notice it shows the value is $3073...


Now here's the GD appraisal tool for the exact same domain..
https://www.godaddy.com/domain-valu...&tmskey=&domainToCheck=liquidationauction.com

The tools shows $2009


That's some weird stuff.

Nice find

 

[Chris Hydrick]

Kind of ridiculous...particularly for auction buyers that use the appraised value.

Look at this one...Damit.com

https://www.godaddy.com/domain-auctions/damit-com-322622024
Auction page shows value of $11,188

Appraisal tool shows $7887
https://www.godaddy.com/domain-valu...&checkAvail=1&tmskey=&domainToCheck=damit.com

Almost a 4k difference. What a joke.

@Bob Hawkes @Grilled @equity78 what do you think of these discrepencies?

Oh jeeze. **responding just to your quotes, will read over the thread later.

I just lectured somebody calling to verify my insurance about integration issues within their healthcare system, and the onus of figuring out the answer to the question she was asking me, should rely on asking somebody that same question with her department, as they would know more than I. <probably not the best response. But when you keep getting calls from different people from the same number, it helps to limit the frequency of those calls, as I have no way of calling back, when they don't leave a message/extension.

Point being, <beyond my opinion to be written later after more time to review>, seeing two different appraisals on different GoDaddy.com webpages makes me think (basing this opinion off of previous response from GD regarding the OrganicFlowers.com auction alleged scam thread that apparently is/was/about to be in a discovery stage within the courts) my assumption is this is an integration issue regarding the last update not being applied to current auctions that had the pre-update appraisal?

Got it...

 

[Samer]

My view between Estibot and GoDaddy values is that Estibot values "low value" domains at $0-200, and GoDaddy values pretty much them all at $1k+ I know which I would choose to quote to an inquiry about my "low value" names I don't think either of them realistically value "high value" domains very well either. Estibot say $XXXk and GoValue say $25k+. Pretty much the price depends on how much the seller is prepared to ask, and how much the buyer is prepared to pay. So these estimates are all basically, crappy.

Agree with all, but check out

DomainIndex for the cruelest appraisal.

 

[srimaha]

I don't trust Godaddy Valuations as its not scientific. Estibot and Nameworth is good for English domains IMO

 

[uzver]

I don't trust any of them.

Estibot and Nameworth is good for English domains IMO

You're getting it wrong. There is no such thing as "good" automatic appraisal, IMO. They can only spark your thoughts as to why the domain has a high appraised value.

 

[OnlineDomainShop]

Godaddy appraisals came back to previous values for me , I think it was type of bug , I am seeing raised value again.

Same here. Yesterday "comparable domains sold" were in the region of 100 bucks same as the estimated value, now is back to the old value. It seems something happened with the database of sold domains.

I publicly apologize for my rudeness!

 

[ThatNameGuy]

Thats interesting. Anyone know why they display 10 "comps" per domain appraisal? All of them apparently GoDaddy sales.

I don't know, but it sure gives a domainer like me a benchmark for what to ask for a particular domain, and just as important it gives me "ideas" for other domains I may be looking to own.

 

[DomainTrial]

My Go Daddy appraisal jumped twice in value for 2 weeks. I have two domains I was thinking of selling, one is greatestshowonearth.org and the other is entertainersforum.com . The latter of the two is the one worth more value, Godaddy's estimate jumped from 500 to 1000. How do I go about selling a domain ( I just joined up yesterday ) . I have always heard stories but are there really buyers willing to pay as much for a domain ?

 

[ThatNameGuy]

I partly agree. It's subjective within reason. But that subjectivity is always based on the observation of objective facts.

So really, I was wondering what objective facts exist that suggest PopsRibs.com is subjectively a good name?

Oh you partly agree....which part? The part where I have common sense experience? The part where everyone in the world has a pop? The part where ribs are enjoyed by tens of millions of people worldwide? Or the part where domainers and peers alike think PopsRibs.com is a catchy name for a rib joint?

Just for the record, i personally know the owner AdamsRibs.com, and while i didn't personally know Adam or Eve I subjectively know it's a great name

 

[ThatNameGuy]

I agree that common sense is partly subjective.

Is that all it takes to make a good name? If that's the case, aren't PopsSushi and PopsBananas also good names?

I'm not sure why you would value a domainer's opinion on how to name a rib joint... So I suspect you mean that you've found some domainers who think that the name has value and a decent chance of selling.

I'm skeptical that many would agree, though. Maybe you could start a poll so that we could hear from a wider range of them.

[/QUOTE]
Too funny Joe....i've been successfully naming and operating business's since before you were born. I'm sure according to you that doesn't count, but common sense says differently.

I wouldn't waste my time with the sort of poll you suggest because I already have my answer. Due to my past experience, subjective scoring is my thing, but if you think you know more than me that's your prerogative. Some domains are more ideal for development than hoarding, and PopsRibs.com falls into that category just like another domain i intend to buy before you get a chance to read this, RollingThrills.com. Ever hear of a roller coaster Joe? How about thrills

 

[Joe N]

Some domains are more ideal for development than hoarding, and PopsRibs.com falls into that category.

Yes, I definitely agree that PopsRibs would be a good name for development. It would be a fun name for a restaurant or a brand of ribs.

I don't believe that it's a valuable investment name, though. Objectively speaking, the name lends itself better to a local scope (which means online presence is less crucial); also there don't seem to be any businesses currently online that are branding with the name.

...i've been successfully naming and operating business's since before you were born. I'm sure according to you that doesn't count, but common sense says differently.

Of course your business experience counts! I respect it very much, and I'm sure it's very beneficial when venturing into a new endeavour.

But as you know, every new industry has its own learning curve and its own set of skills and knowledge that need to be practiced and honed. Domain investing is no different. Even SEO and marketing professionals typically don't hit the ground running when they begin.
