Or is there a pattern at all?

I'm thinking about forums like appraisal one on dnforum

I'm wondering if I should post my group of domains there. If the appraisals were very low it might be counter-productive...

Thanks..

They are usually much lower than what you will get from an end user

I'd say that appraisals at DNF are realistic. There are some wise old birds over there. Of course if you actually find an end user for your domain; the sky's the limit. (Look at 3/4 Million for ireport.com recently).
