Hi, I hope this is the correct section for this ... I have a PR7 domain name with approx 150,000 backlinks and was looking at either getting a valuation or even selling it for the right price. Does anyone know where the best place is to get a reliable valuation or the best place to sell a domain name? Many thanks in advance.
if your serous about selling and need to appraise I'd consider domain appraisal forums eg: (namefeedback.com) and others. if you can get a website on to it you should do yourself a favour and get it onto flippa.com (sitepoint's auction portal) I sold a pr4 site there for $230 quite recently. Flippa is the best option for maximum sales potential and auction visibility something I feel that godaddy and sedo need to learn about. check the pr6+ domains/sites sales history in flippa for approximate values and by all means set the reserve high and don't place a bin on it. Reason: during the auction you have the option to drop the reserve to match the last bit also from experience bidders there tend to bid based on your buy it now bin price. If you don't include one in the sale and bidders are keen they'll bid aggressively to get to the reserve price and will bid hard. Having a bin price could jeopardize the bidding climate/competition as they're likely to soft bid in small increments to keep under your 'buy it now' offer. good luck with it. ROOFIS
Hi Roofis, thanks for the information. My domain is a .co.uk domain, do you think that this will effect anything as most on there are .com, .org etc... I can only assume that this is an american website and they might not be interested in .co.uk domains - Sorry I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to selling domain names. Thanks again.
Some of the best places to sell domains are: 1) Sedo (usually you can get a higher price here compared to other domain marketplace websites) 2) Flippa (should be more suitable for your PR7 domain 150,000 backlinks) 3) Domain name forums (you might get a lower price here but it can be sold quite fast for a domain like yours) <--- I'm not sure whether I can post other forum names here so I am not putting the forum names here but basically if you search on Google for the search term "domain name forums", those 2 domain name forums are the ones which are quite good for selling domain names (usually at domain reseller market price) Sedo and Moniker's official appraisal service are very good. Sedo's valuation report are usually more comprehensive while Moniker's appraisal are usually more accurate (which is one the reasons why it is accepted by IRS) =)
