Domain Wanted

Nice observation, just want to add:
Most of these Millionaire buyers are Same Peoples who just want to buy different niche names after every 10 Days. And yes " PM Sent " is must, let the whole NP know I am Millionaire buying your domains.
When there is another thread WTB these Millionaires buyers are first to post "PM Sent"

That's why this is the free type of appraisal. If you want professional work, ask Eric. Everyone can offer his opinion. The ball is always in YOUR side to judge. It seems quite fair. Isn't it?

I've got two hats for appraisals, and, as you can see from my avatar, another one for posting and evaluating opinions. I use my deerstalker hat for appraising names to buy, and this lets me see all the faults, and estimate the name as high £xx ( say ). Then I have my stetson for sales evaluations, and I can see that the name is as big as Texas, and must be worth high £xx,xxx.

Mostly agree.

Except, with appraisals, I don't think it is 99%.

99% of time actually it is "zero value".

For remaining 1%, 99% of time it is true that reseller value is $xx to $xxx and $xxx to $xxxx to end users and 1% of that remaing 1% are names with reseller value of $xxxx to $xxxxx and higher.

A lot of people truly care when a beginner makes a massive mistake and buys one or numerous trademarks thinking they thought of new hand reg's that nobody else before them thought of.

They have no idea the domains are available because they are trademarks and the smart domainers avoid them.

Sometimes it's the right thing to do to warn someone before they spend more money.

Just saying.....

This is how you know you have been doing this too long and you need a break. =P

Yes, a lot of it is very true... but I will bring up one thing on appraisals...

When we give out appraisal advice here, I would hope most of it is unbiased and we want to be helpful. I never put a number to it because i think it is all BS and only thing that matters is the buyer. Hence my "appraisal" is based on the potential market for the domain and what their economics are.

The other thing, we can appraise others but no clue on our own, is very true however.

Unless you have a liquid domain, or something generic with a market, ie 3L or 4L generics, (which have a stable value more or less), folks think their domain is the greatest domain ever.... but the smart folks know that they need feedback of others.

Unfortunately as I have spent more time again on this forum, it seems that I get more helpful insights from newbies who are still excited to be here than from the "witty" long time "experts" here who cannot put a post together without putting someone down or a sharp remark.

My favorite is users replying with "worthless" with no other comments or actual helpful advice to the new people here.

Truly the most helpful advice however is from folks I bought domains from and then got into deeper conversations about, or users who are really interested in learning.

and I will say... as an owner of a 10 year old forum... this sentiment portrayed by OP is what kills the helpful feel of the community, and something that always bothered me... but I do understand it.
