Welcome to NamePros, sorry your first post is about a scam. You might have gotten out of their scam to only have scammed yourself. I do not know anything about the company that you gave up you money too. They might be legit, but I would never pay for an appraisal for one of my names. When you buy a house who pays for the appraisal? The Buyer not the seller. Same thing for a domain name. A domain is only worth what someone is willing to pay anyway.
Hopefully you only bought the $29.99 version. The price of 4 hand regs.
Do yourself a favor and read everything you can for the next 30 to 60 days. Then read some more. I read at least an hour everyday some days more. Check out NameBee.com it lists all of the major Domain Blogs. You might not like all of them but pick your favorites. Read NamePros,some good info some bad but most is good.
Good Luck
