How accurate is Estibot ??

[henrik]

Hi There, I was shocked when I wanted to estimate the value of one of my domain name . Is estibot and other evaluation website accurate ???

 

[lothos]

they are not very accurate.

Yeah not at all. I've had some domains valued at extreme prices that have never sold and other domains valued at zero that sold for generous amounts. Estibot can't place a value on what someone is willing to pay because everyone has their own needs and what one person doesn't see in value of a domain, another might. What's the old saying? "One man's garbage is another man's treasure"

I once saw on a domain forum that around 10% of an Estibot valuation is accurate. That being said Estibot valuations are not that accurate, I once purchased a domain for low $xx which was valued at mid to high $x,xxx
It isn't generally worth paying for appraisals, the best way to get a domain valued is to post it on a forum here.

Domain market is not the same as property market Online valuation tools can probably assess domain length and keyword value, but is this enough? What's in case people go creative? Machines fail

Like lothos said. It's not accurate. I've sold domains from 10% to 1000% of the Estibot values.

A domain is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay.

You can show a potential buyer an appraisal and it means nothing, they will still offer what they want, waste of time if you ask me.
