Does this sound right to any of you:

What would be your estimation?

Don't go by automated appraisals. They simply don't work, no matter how good they are.

Mid $xx is what it's worth, in my opinion.

EstiBot puts this at $50.

You forgot to mention that the bigger valuation is including the traffic estimate, which clearly says "UNVERIFIED" and if you follow the link, you will find that this domain has a fake alexa rank.

Please, if you do use EstiBot, take at least a quick look at what it says on the results page It wouldn't hurt to glance at the instructions, either.

EstiBot can help you with domain research, but you'll still have to use your own brain when domaining!

$50 is pretty close to mid-xx

Where does the 130000 Traffic (uniques) / Day come from is weird. Does it get that much traffic?

Edit: Yup clear now

 

[rudyhernandez]

I'd be suprised if you even got $50 for this.
It would definitely have to be an end-user sale.
Seems to be a GREAT domain for a eye drop company...like Visine.

Good Luck!

I agree , why would a name like thirsty eye be worth anything. I never heard the term before. I mean it could be thirstyEar , dosent make sense to me. Man estibot is useless.

Well Estibot is the closest you can get to a manual appraisal.
Its appraisal algorithm is pretty accurate on most of my domains ive searched.
Any script / applications can have some bugs, specially ones with complex algorithms as estibots (as i would presume). Its all about the script evolving gradually to becoming near perfect. Still its a great tool to use!
Bugs like these will happen as there are multiple external sources being referred to, and the problems that come from outer sources tend to creep in sometimes in ones own script.

A Great Script to have!

Speaking of useless..guys, it's good form to read the replies to a thread before posting your own.

Obviously you did not read my reply about using your own brain

EstiBot values this domain at $50, as I have said above. I always welcome criticism for EstiBot, but not when the criticism is based on ignorance/laziness, as with this particular thread.

 

[sashas]

its not a bug. its estibot detecting a fake alexa rank and giving the value based on the fake traffic

 

[rudyhernandez]

Josh is right.
There has to be some common sense needed to appraise a domain name. Not just hard number stats.
I've searched long and hard for a great instant domain appraisal software and have come to find out that ESTIBOT.com is by far the best and most accurate.
Notice, I didn't say it's perfect...just the most accurate on a consistent basis.
:imho:

I use Estibot stats, current trend value, traffic stats and potential customer traffic to assist me in appraising a domain.

I knew that 99.9% of the EstiBot's value came from the traffic estimated by Alexa. That still would have made it a great buy. It's just the fact is that Alexa is making a mistake and giving the traffic data for the domain that ThirstyEye.com is forwarded to. So, that's Alexa's bug. My brain is just fine.

For that particular domain, mid $XX capped potential for reseller.

I did read the post , i was kind of talking in general , not this post. Estibot leaves out the human element , something is worth only what someone will pay but I guess useless is the wriong word. Estibot is not the tool for someone new to domaining to use ( not talking about the original poster) . There are so many threads that say "Estibot said my orangeflowerspider.com is worth $12,000 , so is it?"

But I get the point it is a good tool for a domainer who has some experiance.

Eyes don't get thirsty. This donut isn't worth reg fee.

Eyes don't get thirsty. This donut isn't worth reg fee.

I just got a $95 offer on SeDo and the name is up for the auction now.

I do think it's a great domain for almost any web site that has any visual content like videos or pictures. "Thirsty" eye means that the web site has something that your eyes are wanting ( or "thirty" ) to see.

Also, any eye drop manufacturer or eye doctor specializing in treating dry eyes would probably be a great end user for the domain.

good luck with the auction alex !

Yes, I agree with you on this. I don't like to see these threads either. It shows ignorance or at least inexperience, but it also gives my service an unduly bad name, which I feel it doesn't quite deserve. No tool can be of use if it is not used properly. I hope that people can use it as a tool to give them such relevant information that will help them valuate their own names. I haven't made claims that it is the end-all of appraising. I just want to make it useful and as good an automatic valuator as can be.

What a difference a word makes. Saying "man estibot is useless" is like slapping my face with a wet rag, especially as many domainers actually find it useful, and in the case of the present OP's domain, EstiBot wasn't even at fault. On the other hand, the way you put it in your second post is something I can relate to, and mostly agree with.

Amazing. Regged on the 28th of September 2007 and already received an offer via Sedo.

Let me be the first to throw up that BS Flag.

$20 says you had a friend place a bid so you could send it to auction.

 

[comicbookguy]

Yeah I was definetly wrong saying "useless" , I use it myself to see what it says. I defenitly didnt word that right and "useless" was the wrong word. When I first got into Domaining I was checking it all the time and i was regging stuff that Estibot would say was worth $x,xxx and only later to find out it was X. Still is a good tool. My original post was "Useless".

Definetly want to appologize as my original post was definetly not very respectfull to the great program Estibot is , I didnt intend it that way but it came out wrong.

ThirstyEye.com - $270,000 estimation by EstiBot!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does this sound right to any of you:

Seem to me you asked the question because it is obviously way off the mark...common sense tells you that! The alexa rank was the key and this was obviously fake. Estibot actually say's that you should check the traffic and not rely on the info it has gathered. Josh has put a lot of long hours into this and done an excellent job IMHO!
Estibot is a great tool for any domainer and don't forget this is free, in real time and the most realistic appraisal bot around and usually gives a reasonable "ball park" figure. Ok it's not infallible but look at some of the appraisals you get from fellow domainer's? How many of those do you actually agree with??
