Why should
I get a professional appraisal?
| It
isn't easy to determine the true value of a domain name.
Everyone has heard of domain names selling for millions of dollars.
However, many domain names cannot be sold for $20. Just
look at eBay and Yahoo domain name auctions to see for yourself.
What makes one name valuable and another essentially worthless?
Just looking at the name and guessing will not help. Just
because a name sounds good or looks good doesn't mean it is
valuable. We have extensively studied domain name sales
to derive an accurate, fair and dependable model of domain name
sales values. |

What
do I get when I purchase an appraisal?
| When
you purchase an appraisal, you get an EXPERT evaluation of the
domain name. Our expert appraisers will consider every
aspect of the domain name to derive a value for the domain.
This method is known as the "hedonic" method.
This differs from the typically "ad hoc" methods used
by other services. Our method relies on hard data on domain
name sales over the past several months.
Also,
every appraisal comes with a customized web page for the domain
detailing the ranking criteria and certifying the value.
Sellers find such pages extremely valuable since they can
refer potential buyers to the page to substantiate their asking
price.

How
does http://www.domainregistry.de assess domain names?
Most
other services consider only 4 or 5 characteristics of a domain
name. We have our own proprietary statistical model
that considers 10 characterizes of a domain name to estimate
its value. While we prefer to keep the specifics of our
model a secret, we can tell you that the model considers the
following features:
- length
of domain name
- size
of the market related to the domain name
- probability
that the domain name will be properly spelled by customers
- potential
of the domain name to be associated to site content
- the
extension of the domain name (e.g. .com, .net, .org)
- breadth
of the domain name's applicability
- and
several other factors.
In
addition to using the mathematical model, our expert appraisers
apply their subjective judgment to every appraisal before
arriving at a final value!
