We are now moving all our domains away from registrars that offer appraising,
because:
In the past two years we had five separate domain sales totalling about $760,000.00 canceled.
The domains in question had each time been appraised using "Scientific
Methodology".
The buyers said that professionals have advised that the domains were far
overpriced.
Lawyers advised that we could sue the buyer and surely win the case.
The buyer could in turn sue the appraiser and probably win the case.
But because of the separate asking prices it would cost us more to win a court case than the domain sales price.
We don't mind about people estimating values.
But we do mind when they pretend that it is possible to do it in a scientific way. Because that is absolutely impossible.
To deal with this phenomenon, we boycot appraisers with warning webs.
Typing in the words Scientific Domain Appraisals in search engines usually show our scientificdomainappraising.com on the first page of search results.
We are also posting this on as many domain forums as possible.
And strange enough, our sales are suddenly increasing ...
