domain Social.com appraisal request

[BlueSkies]

I would like to seek a current appraisal on the value of the domain name Social.com to an end user.

I have the possibility of using it in a new venture (unrelated to the current site) and would need to value it.

Your opinions are appreciated!

Thanks,

Scott

The sky is the limit with this gem. This is the best domain I've seen in the appraisal section. I will start with my WAG of low to mid $xxx,xxx and up.

Finding an end-user willing to pay a million or more would not surprise me. IMO.

Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that this is a FREE appraisal. This is a guess at quick flip resale value not an unrealistic end-user price. Often times my appraisals are rushed, too low, or too high. Sometimes my advice is totally wrong and occasionally downright dumb. If the post stamp is after 5:00pm EST, the chances are even greater that inaccuracies will occur due to blood alcohol levels.

Huge Traffic -> Great Money .. otherwise worthless...

I really would not sell it at this time. If I were you i'd hold it another 18 months.

No less than $100,000 even in this economy. More to the right end user.

A lot.
"Best Name in a Big, Live Auction" type domain. Totally impossible to appraise a name like this with any degree of precision. The Y factor is just too huge.

75,000 to 4,000,000

are the big domain sales out there mainly because of the traffic to them then? certainly wouldn't ever state this as worthless with the scale of social networking sites. then again i probably wouldn't have touched a domain like facebook or bebo, both are pretty appalling terms to me

otherwise worthless...

"lol"

imo somewhere in the xxx.xxx range minimum reseller value

That's what you call a KING among premium names. It can be worth anything starting from mid $xxx,xxx.

more than I'll make in a lifetime.... I need a job

btw, just saw that it has Pagerank5 , dmoz listed, many backlinks,etc....
so that increases the price even more imo

Thanks for your feedback. Are you aware of any end user domain sales that you would consider comparable?

I think this domain ranks right up there with many of the names in this top ten list: DNJournal.com Year to Date Domain Sales Charts

Has anyone had any luck with professional appraisal services such as at Moniker or Sedo?

I generally think that paying for an appraisal is a waste...but with this name, I would contact SEDO and discuss with them an exclusive listing, a commission fee, and so on, and I suspect that they will give you a general idea of selling price without having to pay for it.

Wow!! Great domain! I agree, the sky is the limit. I'm gonna say $200,000 - $400,000
