domain I'm running 25 auctions... what should I put as BIN price on each one? - ItsJustHow.com

[YourBestTrader]

I'm running 25 auctions, starting at $1 with no reserve... but I want to get feedback from you awesome appraisal folks as to what you think I should put as a BIN price per domain?

Please only appraise the ones whose BIN price in your opinion is $9 or higher.

Please note that any appraisal less than $9 will be reported as per Namepros appraisal rules.

Thanks for your help!

Domains have been removed for benefit of the buyers.

So you want an appraisal as long as its a good one and above a figure you want, is that right

 

[Lord Antares]

To add to what gilescoley said, I really don't see a name worth more than $9, sorry. None of them really have a meaning or are random.

both of you beat me to it.......

Give me a break. You are wanting a free appraisal then threatening to report people.

Official rules - https://www.namepros.com/threads/official-rules-of-namepros.848752

All appraisals below $10 USD must include a unique and constructive explanation to support the assessment.

I am going to say these are all worth $0.

To comply with the official rules though, my constructive explanation is these are not the type of domains that are going to receive interest from end users. I would suggest buying better domains.

Best of luck.

You’ll find out what their worth when auction ends

This was an honest attempt at getting help and feedback. I frequently help out with detailed valuations when I know the domain types being requested.

All of you think I was being harsh or calculating... But all I'm trying to do is comply with Namepros rules.

"Please report any appraisals lower than the possible registration price for a domain."

[NickB]

you have asked for an opinion and tried to censor the replies so that your names get a minimum amount in your auction.....

harsh - no
calculating - yes

 

[YourBestTrader]

How is it calculating if I never intended to link to this page?

I was just hoping for real advice and was trying to comply with the NP rule that I quoted.

I really expected a more helpful crowd here at NP. Sorry if I somehow struck a nerve by trying to have my thread be compliant with the actual rules.

You might be able to get $10-20 from a GTLD fan boy for eDigital.World, Maybe $5-$10 for ItsJustHow.com, or BabyTV.org, don't see much else.

I saw you were asking for domains people don't want in a Wanted thread, this looks to be the result of such.

There is lots of good information on this site about how to buy good domains, just start over, and focus on 2-3 names that are of mid level quality with some end users, and build from there.

 

[NickB]

Come on! You linked the auction page in this thread and the rules clearly state as Brad said if anyone appraises a name under $10 they have to give a good reason which you tried to stop by threatening to report them

Take it on the chin and move on....and stop looking for sympathy

@wwwweb

Thank you for a genuine response

I actually have several portfolios, one of which has over 100 very decent domains. I'm not a beginner, however my knowledge is fairly specialised into the types of domains that I know.

Gtlds are definitely not something I feel any confidence about.

Regarding the "junk" domains... Indeed, that's where the gtlds came from. Some of the .coms I've spent decent money on... But a long time ago before I knew what I was doing.

One man's junk is another man's treasure though... I sold a domain that no one on here wanted for $40, for $2,100 ... So even "junk" domains sometimes do well.

I also do giveaways... I've given away over 40 domains on here that I paid over $2,000 for. So there is that.

To be fair, the rules are contradictory.

This link https://www.namepros.com/threads/official-rules-of-namepros.848752/ (under 5.1) says that appraisals under $10 are allowed, but must be followed up with proper reasoning.

However, this link https://www.namepros.com/threads/domain-evaluation-and-appraisals-guide.860781/ (under I. 2. AND II. 4.) says that appraisals under reg free are not allowed. I think it should be clarified.

Be as it may, I don't agree that there shouldn't be an appraisal below regfee. If I reg egd432jvb--ui-g.com, that doesn't mean the domain is worth $10 just because I paid $10 for it. In fact, one might argue that these types of domains are clearly worth less than that because no one wanted to pay regfee for them.

Vh3.net Maybe vh1 might buy it for all the latest 3rd generation lousy sampled music with autotune being made today 3 generations removed from true talent. Good for a parody site.

I frequently help out with detailed valuations

If true, then why do you need others advice if you are the expert?

With the rules your right it needs tightening up as it has caused some confusion here....

I agree there can be names less than the registration fee (had a few myself) but if you ask for an opinion on this this site, particularly the appraisal section you should be prepared for answers that you do not agree with...

Had it the other day with a name I had high hopes for and got told it was not worth the reg fee -thanked the person for their opinion and taking the time to give one and moved on.

I agree that those do look contradictory. I agree that there should not be a limit to how low a valuation should go, however if these rules were in the public law books, the specialized thread rules would supercede the general societal rules.

I vote for no limit though.

That said, I'm more pained by the attitude of the people in this thread than by their misunderstanding of my trying to comply with the rules.

This is MY thread... If it was my auction, or my fixed price sale.. then MY rules would apply. It should be no different with appraisals.

If people don't like what I'm saying or doing, they shouldn't participate.

If someone opened a thread anywhere on here and said that all responses had to start with hello and end with goodbye... I'd respect the thread owner and either not participate or comply.

The above of course is just my opinion on good etiquette.

Pained by the attitude of not agreeing with you?

You asked for peoples opinions and participation which has have given them and because you don't agree with them you have thrown your toys out of the pram and tried to appear you have been made a target

I am just going to block you and then will be no future "misunderstanding"

MY, MY. You sound like an entitled millennial waiting for free everything.

 

[YourBestTrader]

I clearly must be in the wrong here as I've tried to explain myself and everyone still seems to think I was "trying something" or just needed everyone to agree with me.

The truth is I put those domains on for $1 no reserve because I don't personally see value.

I genuinely only wanted to have people in my thread follow the NP rules.

I'm not entitled... Just surprised at others attitude.

I'll continue providing value by buying and selling on here, and spending my time giving valuations for domains that I feel qualified to value.

However I don't think I'll post on here for valuations as most of the comments here have been hostile and not in the slightest bit helpful or understanding.

If you look at my posts you'll see that I like to help others... Looks like it's just going to be one way.

Sorry to have bothered you guys with my legitimate question.. I won't be doing that again any time soon.

I’d declare $15 BIN for okgimme dot com because someone bid that amount. Beyond that I invoke my Fifth Amendment right under the U.S. Constitution to refuse to give statements that could be used against me in NP rules adjudication.

Final thoughts: Your listing indicates that many of the names have expired so it would be prudent to explain buyer/seller renewal responsibility. All 4 of your bidders joined NP in the last couple of weeks so the more guidance the better. Good luck!
