Ummm, what are these guys smoking? $40,000 for my site? I wish. 🙂
Even more interesting, check this one. It’s telling me $726 for something that looks like total garbage.
Hehe. My domain is worth $63,654.00 (love the fact that they add the .00 to make it seem precise and/or bigger).
So, on the one hand $30000 seems improbably high for my domain. On the other hand, I don’t think I’d actually sell it for that amount. As usual with thin markets, the bid-ask spread is undoubtedly quite large.
the evaluation text they supply is riddled with typos and grammatical errors as well – it may be a picayune thing, but anytime i see something like that it devalues the advice in my mind.
Tried typing some random characters … and kxchmbdoxcbsuohbslh.net with base value $69 and actual value $794?
Well, this one certainly is not worth even the $8 or how much now does .com domains cost …
Wow. I couldn’t even crack 6 grand with mine.
Sheesh.
You guys are fucking idiots. Did you even read the site? They say themselves:
This domain name contains 7 or more characters. These names are not valued for there length as much as they are for their lexical context. If your domain name contains say 9 characters randomly like jyuxbeplz.com then you have no inherent value contextually or lengthwise. It is nearly impossible to design an AI system to see how a human will react and memorize a domain name, that said, you should use your own judgement to see if the length of this name is suitable.
The shit isn’t perfect, nor does it give anything necessarily accurate. But for most normal humans, it can be used as one tool among many to get some idea of what something might be worth. It is in no way gospel, nor does it set the market price, obviously.
Ive just bought this domain name http://www.huhya.com ,thought it
sounded catchy and leapfish valued it at 9,200 dollars.
Not sure if its worth this money.
Just look at ebay.com ,wow ,50 million dollars,its got to be
worth more than that.
Total bull. I tried this with a domain I literally just bought last week and it was valued at 98 dollars.
Then I tried with a domain that I registered nearly a year ago – http://digilondon.com – and have been running as a full site, good ranking etc … and it was valued at 32 dollars!
Totally pointless!
With http://topicbuzz.com professionaly valued at $32,915.56 I then go to leapfishy and they are saying it’s only worth $43? I think they may be a “little” off folks….
