Hey guys,
Maybe it's better to restorethe High Priced Domains section in a ccTLD's subforum?
Because normal High Priced Domains section not looking very good/serious with all these ccTLD's. IMO
It's hard enough evaluating 1 high priced forums entry requests, let alone 2 of them.
Plus I have one more question. I found Paid Ad. at High Priced Section -
http://www.namepros.com/high-priced-domains/798886-paid-ad-autodeal-me-pathway-me.html
Just a question. Do someone think that any of these names need to be (could be) in a High Priced Section?
EXCEPTIONAL.ws? In a
High Priced Section? Not a joke?
It's a paid sticky, members can pay to advertise where ever they want as long as they pay the associated ad price of that forum.

Keep in mind that what one person deals with daily and considers the gem of all times, most others will see it as a chunk of dirt. It goes both ways. We try to keep the evaluation process fair by checking all 27 valuing factors you see listed here:
1.) Is the domain Pronounceable?
2.) How many characters are in the domain?
3.) If a short character domain, are they premium letters?
4.) Is the domain currently developed?
5.) If developed, how many pages are indexed?
6.) If developed, Is it original or duplicate content?
7.) Was the domain previously developed?
8.) Does the domain currently generate any Revenue?
9.) What are a few development possibilities for this domain?
10.) What is the obvious target market(s)?
11.) Is there any keyword value (cpc)?
12.) Is there any keyword competition?
13.) What are the top competing sites for this domain?
14.) What is the Alexa score?
15.) What is the root domain PageRank (PR)?
16.) Is the domain a dictionary word?
17.) What language is the domain?
18.) Does the language of the domain match the extension?
19.) How many backlinks does the domain have?
20.) What have some similar domains sold for in the past?
21.) Is this domain a Trademark (TM)?
22.) Is this domain a trend that has a limited window of opportunity?
23.) How old is the domain?
24.) Is the domain taken in other top extensions?
25.) Is the domain Brandable?
26.) Does the domain have any traffic?
27.) If traffic, What are the traffic sources?
It's rare to see many people using all 27 factors when they appraise a domain, so naturally there's going to be different opinions and views on value. At the end of the day, we do try to limit the amount of questionable domains from being listed in order to retain some of the sanctity of the high priced forum. If some slip through the cracks that others don't agree with, we apologize for offending you. However, there's no perfect way to evaluate a domain that will please everyone. So we do the best we can. At least you don't see names like: hellomyfriend.info, chargemycellphonetoday.com, jumpupanddown.org, wiggleyourloosebits.net, arereduparound.com, etc... There's more names than you can imagine that get declined every day from being listed. It's a constant filtering process that never ends and occasionally, as mentioned before, one may slip through some don't agree with.
One thing we can all probably agree on though, is that everyone holds some sentimental value for their own names & thus feel's theirs is better than others. Just like people that focus on a single niche will see more value in related niche names than names in other peoples niches.
Thanks for understanding,
Eric Lyon
