Automatic appraisal tool

    Have you guys seen leapfish.com? It's supposed to give domain valuations. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but interesting to check out.

    Compare that to www.domaintops.com automatic domain appraisals. Just make a free account then use their automatic appraiser. Supposedly the best online and still in development.

    mia.net = $199,838.00
    kingbloom.com = $63,654.00
    hostdrive.com = $48,600.00
    mccoypottery.com = $95,256.00
    dslone.com = $49,142.00
    bella-mia.com = $55,296.00

    then...

    digitalpoint.com = $317,400.00

    Of course it did say something to the affect that "mia.net" --- " It has been determined based on search results that this name may be extensively valuable beyond the scope of the LeapFish.com domain analysis tool. It is recommended that you seek the services of a complete domain appraisal company rather than rely on this estimate. Thank You."

    This begs the question, when valuating a company, should you also include the domain names themselves as assets in the valuation?

    Odd, I signed up for an account and the activation code they sent me does not work. All I get is an error page saying the username does not match or does not exist. Something's not right there...

    No ofense, just a comment, but due to the large name, the dash and the info extension, the real value of such domain is $7.99... according NamePros' "experts" for sure, LOL :D

    jokes aside, as I said in other post, when someone wants a domain name and has the money to pay for it, he/she will not stop in considerations of real value, traffic or anything else, just get it by all means.

    Maybe they meant that you'd have to pay somebody $4,734 to take it?

    Because it gives you completely wild and unrealistic prices on worthless domains.. See some of the examples above..

    Like? I've not seen that to be the case. I will admit all the valuations are quite high, but if you look at the ones I posted, they are all quite consistently valued. Nothing unrealistic about the range of worth. Again, I will say they are high, but not "wild".

    For large established sites it may be close to being accurate, but for virtually every small or new site it's crazy overpricing them.
