domain Please Appraise behavior.biz, baz.co, guitaramp.co, flac.co

[Icey]

please appraise the domains I have listed, I purchased behavior.biz on a hunch/hope that it was worth something.

i know the general opinion of gadaddy appraisals, but I got one done anyway (not the instant one) and it came back just shy of $17,000.

anyone?

I like looking into behaviour (which is the real spelling lol) and body language and all that stuff and I think I saw this one in the expiring lists somewhere but just couldn't bring myself to figure out any way to monetize it...obviously you can go with affiliate links for Desmond Morris books (arguably the best behaviourist in the world) or Lie to Me DVDs but without some practical knowledge of what you are talking about you will struggle I think.

I have been watching body language and behaviour for over 20 years now and am only just getting to the point where it becomes second nature to see something, you will have to write in such a way that people do see you as an authority on this subject if no other...because people reading this kind of stuff can and are trained to smell bullshit (You can get away with a lot of things when pontificating on televisions but when it comes to science you had better know your stuff)

I say behavior.biz is worth next to nothing in the real world, there is just so little that can be done with it and though the top codes will find a home this code is next to useless. I would try to throw it at child psychology school for a few hundred personally and see if you get any biters

I wouldn't pay $17 for behavior.biz (even though it is a nice keyword for someone who knows his stuff) so I have no idea where they got the idea that it might be worth $17,000 from. Bunch of muppets <_<

Behaviour is the UK spelling,

Behavior is the American spelling

Doesthat change your opinion or is it the same?

 

[Sparhawke]

It does not change my opinion of it in the least, and it even makes it worse in some cases because Americans as a rule hate the extension with a passion that borders on a crusade...at least with us English and Europeans we can see the past the .com and appreciate the potential inherent in the keyword.

I stand by what i say, people who would be interested in visiting any site you set up on this will see past the bullshit and see that you really don't know what you are talking about...for instance, a micro-expression of fear lasts for about 1/50th of a second to about half a second...obviously if you know what you are looking for you will spot the longer one but it will take a very quick eye to catch the other (about 4-6 times faster than the blink of an eye and that is being conservative), it is almost as fast as you can process the data coming to you.

If you are showing a video for whatever reason or asked to comment on it you will be seen very quickly that you cannot do it which is no shame at all, very few people in this world can do it; maybe 000.1% of the population...it is an exceptionally hard thing to do and I struggle a lot often but they will see you as nothing but a marketer and you will lose credibility. To see something that has a timescale of a tenth of the time it takes you to blink is a wonderful thing but I have trained myself over many years to see it and I still miss it many times...but with this kind of domain you HAVE to be an expert and any bullshitter will quickly be seen as a fraud.

I would just try to sell this for as much as you can get as quick as you can get it and move on rather than holding out for what the muppets at Godaddy told you :p Quite frankly their job is to sell domains and sell appraisals, nothing more and people do not like low appraisals...so they vastly inflate them often by hundreds of times and they don't care if it is completely wrong because they are not held accountable in the same was surveyors are in the real world.

If I was in charge of this domain appraisal thing I would want to make sure that I put in a clause that states that I will stand by any appraisal I give. I will underwrite it so that money is guaranteed. This will mean that in time they will never again appraise a crap domain highly and they will start to find competition from other registrars where they will have to start to underwrite too. Registrars will get a better deal and so will domainers and companies.

Quite frankly I don't see why they don't, they could end up owning some phenomenal domains for basically 18c per year...the downside would be that they would finally be held accountable. Sheer madness.

I wrote a small piece on micro-expressions some time ago and though it needs work there is a video in there which will detail what you need to be able to see, can you see that stuff on your own enough to be able to write about it?
