The first question a customer asks us is “How do I know which domain to buy?” There are so many scammy domains out there with high page ranks, that people have purchased for large amounts of money, just to find out that the domain was worthless. That led to this series on articles where we help you know what to look at before you buy a domain.

.. when you ask other domainers for an appraisal

Disagree! You may ask other people about their opinions of any asset you own just to know what they think .Maybe they could see something you don't see or maybe they could tell a new interesting story, we always learn even when we think we know it all !
