I have a domain appleads.com and someone wants to buy it. How do I determine it's value?

did they ask for an appraisal? because that is the common appraisal scam just ignore it.

No automated appraisal service is any good. But you might get a "quick feel" at www.estibot.com. In fact no non-automated service is any good, either. You could ask some domainers at a domain forum, like NamePros. You could take a look at previous sales of similar names by searching www.namebio.com.

I agree with Kevin. If the buyer is asking you to get an appraisal. It's a scam. Just close off any negotiations.

Well as others have said, tread carefuly & be suspicious.

The only rock solid answer is 'it's worth whatever you can sell it for'.

Written as AppleAds, it is [to me] quite an appealing domain.

I'd probably view it this way, if you start by offering it for 10 times what you personaly think it's worth, you have a starting place to negotiate from & will be able to judge the prospective buyer, from there response.

If you successfuly sell at a price much higher than you hoped for, you could then reg.
Apple-Ads.com or something & just carry on from where you left off, but with some extra $ in your pocket.

But as I said initialy, be careful, many people online make a living out of 'screwing others'.

I want it appraised. I wanted min $10,000 and they said they were willing to pay $1,000.

It looks like you not going to get a sale then, if your min is $10,000 but they only offering $1,000. I don't quite see why you need an appraisal if you've already decided upon your minimum. All appraisals are worthless. As Brian said. It's only worth what somebody is willing to pay. How much did you pay for it? Regfee? Then it's a really good ROI sold at $1000. You could move on and invest that in a better domain. Otherwise who is going to buy your name in the next 10 years? A sale in the hand is much better than holding out for an indefinite period without any promise of a sale at any price.

PS: Estibot values it at $50.

If you pushed me I'd consider $200 IF I was in the market.

I'm wondering how much your prepaired to offer someone to do an assesment resulting in a value of $10,000, because I'm getting the feeling that's what your realy asking.
Maybe someone will offer that service to you, but it wont be me.

No appraisal is going to close the deal FOR you. Negotiation is an art AND a science at the same time. If you think just because a certain even if any "respected" appraisal service renders it a higher value THEN the buyer will up his offer, you can forget about it.

If you TRULY want $10,000 MINIMUM, then stick to that. The point here is, what is your true bottom price? And what makes you post your asking price (or even minimum) as $10,000?

On a side note, to start your negotiation with something 10x (as a seller) or 1/10 (as a buyer) is always NOT good, and inevitably show that you're AMATEUR.

I'd probably view it this way, if you start by offering it for 10 times what you personaly think it's worth, you have a starting place to negotiate from & will be able to judge the prospective buyer, from there response.
Just to clarify the some of that:
I'm refering to 10 x what the seller believes/thinks it is worth, not 10 x what the seller is prepared to accept.

ie in this case, the seller will accept 10,000
lets say the seller thinks it's worth 2,000
so you would offer it for 20,000, if that ofers accepted, your a happy bunny, if it's not, and the response you get suggests the bidder is serious, you can THEN, start negotiating.

My personal view, in this instance would look like this:
I'm prepared to sell it [rather than keep it] for 1,000
I think it's actualy worth 200
I offer it at 2,000
result is either I get an instant sale at 2,000 & I'm a happy bunny, or I'm
in a very good position to negotiate from,[in this example I'd settle for anything between 1 & 2 K]
OR, if the prospective buyer comes back & says 20, I simply walk away, he's not serious.

I think the OP needs to reconsider his position, it's only worth 10K if theres anybody out there willing & able to pay that much.

Currently [it appears] it's worth 1K to someone, that's the reality.

I'm a domainer. So my opinion is somewhat tainted. It's not that I ever really need any domain. If I see a domain that is worth say $200 being offered for sale at $2000, I don't go anywhere near that name. I just move on to another domain, more reasonably priced, where the negotiation isn't going to be so hard to deal with.
