Giving domains a value

[The Stig]

Is there anywhere apart from dnscoop where you can get a rough value for a domain if you were to sell it?
Thanks

Automated tools are useless when it comes to valuing names as there are big holes in the software, DNScoop weights towards age far too much:

The estimated value of http://www.mega.co.uk is: $210

etc.

Personally I would suggest trawling forums , sales threads and networking to discover real market data and then value sales and purchases accordingly.

I dont use them myself but Jools http://www.domtastic.co.uk seems pretty ok

I put down 5 years reg'd as it probs was atleast

mega.co.uk
Domains Potential Value:
£75,000+

Yeah agreed with rob, i would never use a automated tool to value a name.

Chris- spot on with valuation, mega.co.uk will not be going anywhere for anyless than that - its got to much potential.

When it does, I will be having one heck of a party

well why have you parked it? and not working on developing it.

Funny you should say that, but I am just testing the traffic, its had about 40 type ins and 2/3 clicks which are high infact those 3 clicks have now paid for the fee £5

I would like to develop it, but it would need to be done properly bit like fly co.uk not!.....

Interesting valuation on jea.co.uk

Guys

Ran a catch from a couple of days past the tool at domstatic (I put down it had been regged for 10) valuation of US $22K on Jea.co.uk - any offer by PM will be accepted for around this figure.

Best Regards

Cool, £7.5k for my 4 letter .co.uk, which has no trademark brand, not associated with a product, not a word, just letters, so not bad. Shame i ain't selling

 

[philiporchard]

Domtastic gave £150+ for Cardiff.co.uk

Any thoughts?

hmmm, interesting - perhaps a little too much to a reseller :mrgreen: but given the size of cardiff and potential maybe not a million miles off...

 

[monaghan]

Interesting, domtastic suggested £21.5K for ebouquet.co.uk, perhaps I should bung it on sedo and get rich

Has anyone sold a domain for anything like the figure domtastic suggests?

iow

Domain Score:
Total: 77.25%

Domains Potential Value:
£200,000+

 

[julian]

hmmm,

I think on the Intent and commercality you may have slightly over estimated. :mrgreen:

Because you have 'branded' iow to become 'isle of man' it does not reaLLY mean you can factor that in as higly when valuing the domain 'as is'.

So I would assume that IsleOfMan.co.uk would have greater clarity and intent than iow - although i much prefer iow as a domain as its more elegant.

if it was job,co,uk then yes the meaning is pretty much 100% clear to most people. anyway i need to think abt this more...:mrgreen:

I think julian ought to have a personal guarentee with it... "your domain name is worth £21,000 , and I will buy it for that price!"

;-)

Julians tool is definitely on the right path. So much better than any of the others. At the end of the day you are never going to be able to a get a system like that perfect without Human thought being involved in the apraisal.

I think its more down to people being honest when they appraise. Ofcourse you are wanting it to give you a high value but what good is that to you when its not even close to being accurate??

 

[julian]

actully you are a bit wrong there, a few top end domains have sold near to a domtastic valuation:

fly
mobile etc

however exceptional domains are easy to value than good or average for obvious reasons.

No................
