Is this finally the death of automated domain name appraisal tools?

NameWorth.com put it at $44,500.

Hi

i've also been a critic of bot appraisals ever since they arrived on the scene.

the new domainers have come to depend on them, as they have nothing else to gauge value against.
some even pay subscription fee for usage, thus becoming an "end-user", while trying to learn how to be a reseller.

Congrats to seller!

imo...

NFT.com sold for $2 million last year. This one is just one of those "more dollars than sense" sales.

Estibot values Metaverse dot com at $13,000.

Agreed. NFTs.com is not worth $15 million.

I been anti auto appraisals forever and my rants are all over this forum. I suspect a famous registrar put it together to convince domainers or private people to sell their names for lower prices so their sales reps can close more sales.

It is obviously an acronym:
N - non
F - fungible
T - token or tokens
S - I have no clue about this one

S - its for the plural form of NFT

Yes, I get it but somehow it doesn't fit well.

While I don't think NFTS.com is worth all of the 15mill it got, I think it makes more commercial sense than NFT.com especially to a platform or marketplace that sells NFTs. Putting it side by side with NFT.com, I think it has a broader appeal than the singular, just like in cars.com vs car.com (in my opinion).


Big congrats to the seller.

Disagree. Imo NFT is far better. The only difference is the asking price between the 2 sellers.
Shooting for the moon really worked this time!

GoDaddy appraises a domain for $7,598. GoDaddy sells the domain for $15,000,000.
They didn't even give it their highest "Above $25,000" appraisal.

It just kind of reinforces how valuable automated appraisals are.

This is a good one to point to when a potential buyer brings up automated appraisals.

I think it is more like Property vs Properties than Car vs Cars personally.

"NFT" is like "Property" and would be more desirable IMO.

Agreed. NFTs.com is not worth $15 million.

Obviously is to the buyer.

nifties.com still for sale....

 

[Alex270]

Now saw.com will show an appraisal value of $15 million for NFTs.com, not $48K like in the article's print screen. I guess they've manually edit it.

At least they are doing something for this one, because the same saw.com is showing that the first ever registered domain symbolics.com (March 15 1985) has a value of only $11k.

Oh, these automatic appraisal tools...
