View Full Version : WTF? That much???
.::DefCon::. 04-03-2002, 08:56 PM Hey guys,
I've got the domain FAST-PORTAL.NET, and I did a *free* appraisal today on it. Now sit down, 'cause you'll be stunned.
Do you know how much they think it's worth? Huh?
!!! Appraised value: $12022 !!! :eek:
Listen, I'd really love this to be true, but I'm having doubts here. :rolleyes:
Could this be true? If not, or if yes, in both cases actually :D, could you give me some more urls of companies that do free domain appraisals, or places where I might be able to sell this domain?
Thanks a lot, again, ;)

Acroplex 04-03-2002, 09:24 PM I'll do your appraisal for free here :)
Ok, so you have a 2 word dot NET, with a hyphen in between, that comprises of 2 dictionary words.
Bzzzzzzz (calculating value)
$120.22 max
Seems like these guys are a bit off :D
.::DefCon::. 04-04-2002, 06:06 AM allright; and do you know where I could get those 120$ ?? :confused:
120 bucks's still good. :D
LinuXpert 04-04-2002, 06:14 AM Noone will pay 120 bucks for that domain. $20 maybe.
.::DefCon::. 04-04-2002, 06:47 AM Allright, well... we're can I get 20$ for it? What place? :rolleyes:
anantatman 04-04-2002, 06:51 AM i'll pay 15 for it . hmm let me ask my treasurer today
email me : rahul.singh@anantsystems.net
shecodes 04-04-2002, 06:51 AM You could try putting it on eBay -- but a .net with a dash in it isn't going to be worth that much unless someone has a real use for it.

Damn man, where did you get that appraised? I wanna go get some of my domains appraised there - I could be a paper millionaire :D
Seriously though, who did that appraisal?
.::DefCon::. 04-04-2002, 07:03 AM Some appraisal site that does the first domain 4 free.
I don't think they're good, though. Lame site & all... :rolleyes:
Here it is:

But I thought; what the heck, it's free, why not try it out. :D
imago-allan 04-04-2002, 09:08 AM No. I would not have a domain name appraised in there.
You fill-in their form and put your email address. For all you
know they may be a source of spam emails later (just my opinion). They don't have a solid privacy policy in the first place.
Besides, the appraisal is nonsense as you have reported it to be.
:)
I agree with consul. Site is even outdated... :rolleyes:
LinuXpert 04-04-2002, 09:41 AM I don't think domain appraisal can appraise the value of any domain names. The value of a domain name depends on those who want it and what they are willing to pay for it. The more people want it the higher the price is.
.::DefCon::. 04-04-2002, 09:44 AM Hmm... okay, lots of replies telling me stuff about domain appraisal, but now I want to know WHERE I CAN GET THE CASH !!?? :confused:
:D LOL
(don't take this the wrong way ;) )
imago-allan 04-04-2002, 09:48 AM Post your offer to sell at Related Offers and Requests forum. Who knows someone here in WHT will buy the domain from you. And make sure you can accept credit card payments.
:)

I already did that. No-one replied, though. :(
Guess I can always try again. :)
thewitt 04-04-2002, 11:40 AM So if you get a domain appraised for $12000, and end up selling it for $20, can you take a loss on your income taxes?
-t
Incognito 04-06-2002, 03:20 PM But if you'd like to be able to take such a loss....I have a $20 domain I will sell you for $12,000...then you can sell it for $20...and that way you will be able to take a lost of $11980.

Tell the company that appraised the domain that you'll sell it to them for half price. See if they still think it's worth $12,000 at that point.
Chicken 04-06-2002, 10:47 PM That's actually a pretty nice little comment there. It would seem like they'd scoop it up, eh?
*I'm going to have to use that one*
Georgie 04-06-2002, 11:30 PM Hey guys, I went to that site that does the free domain appraisals :
http://www.fastsiteblast.com/free_domain_name_appraisal.html
They appraised my domain at $3872!! (SafeHomes.com)
Anyway, The price was right!
