I think I'm going to invent an investment price. This will be for a name that can be added to a portfolio, and will earn some money while it waiting to be sold. I'm not sure how to value it though. Do you base it on income, and expect a return of ( say ) 10%?
No there is no such thing as an investment price, there is a ton of options and people want to buy at ridiculously low prices and sell at ridiculously high prices. Semantics don't matter, most are looking for desperate people, someone in a jam or too lacking in experience to know what they actually own.
There are exceptions, but usually only when it comes to names with an established market outside of what anyone here thinks. There are liquid names stuff with an active market, most domainers here don't own those names.
So when you say you want a 3L.com for $5,000 people laugh in your face, ignore you and sometimes block you. But when someone says they are looking for a crypto related brandable for example, what's the reseller price ? the end user price? Was someone going to offer $50,000 for CryptoWorld.com? No they would have acted like they were doing the seller if he was not of Mike Mann's (actual seller) experience, a favor with I'll give you $1,500 bro.
@karmaco had a beautiful line that summed things up perfectly,
"I don’t really consider this a place to sell but a goldmine for buyers."
As much as some love to compare domains to real estate or stocks, it's neither. In the stock market GoDaddy has a value it's $55.78 a share. If someone said equity I will sell you some GoDaddy shares at $5.57, there would never be a case where I would not purchase those shares.
But in domaining, I have had people of means, so they are not broke and starving, say oh example.com I value that at $5,000, Cool I will sell it to you right now for $500 (because the name means little to me) Oh thanks bro but I am not interested. Really you are not interested at 10% of your stated value, not mine, not estibot, not GoDaddy? No bro I am just not interested.
It's still the wild west, many prefer it that way and on a domain forum it's the height of the wild west.
If you want to get a true market or investment price, start an auction at $1 no reserve and see where the pricing takes you.
