discuss What's A Good GoDaddy Appraisal Value?

[DaveX]

Seems people are increasingly looking at the GoDaddy appraisal value. The value is plastered on auction pages and the tool is free to use. We all know the appraisal is automated which makes it pretty much for fun, but for some, it would be a dream come true to sell all their domains for GD value.

Here's a quote today from Elliot Silver:
"When looking at GoDaddy Auctions, the GoDaddy Appraisal is shown on each landing page. While I don’t give that value more credence than I should, it is undoubtedly one signal I look at when trying to find valuable domain names up for auction."

I'll admit, when I see it appraise my domain at $4000 or $5000+, I like it.

So what do you feel is a good GoDaddy Appraised value? Is it $1000+, 2000+, 3000+?

I noticed the gd values for random 4L .com are all over the place. Some are given very low values and some high.

Yes indeed, I think, as mentioned above The Godaddy valuation need some comparison data to work its algorithms. It is also not very good on recognizing words out of context or in reverse (its probably applying a similarity metric)

I do think the 'four letter investment is a bit of a hit and miss anyway. Your either matching the initial letters of a business (hopefully many) or your not. To think these are somehow going to be usable pronunciations with appeal is very wishful thinking. There are, what I like calling "Art work lettering" and some other exceptions but, not as many some seem to think have value

Of course, it's not perfect and sometimes far from valid but overall it's good. If more of us rely on it as time goes by GD may in-effect control resale market pricing.

I think that is one of their aims with this tool. Just like they want to control the expiring domains marketplace. I can't fault their vision, even though I sometimes find fault with their implementation.

Well it is funny as Godaddy itself doesn't know the value or lets say '' they dont know how to appraise their own site.

Godaddy has Remote.XXX appraised at $6,742. I think that is way too high for just the domain name itself.
