.TEL Domain Name Appraisals Many domains have been listed For Sale in the Sales Forum. Although NO domain appraisal or service is ever completely justified, there is a legitimate process by which the root word(s) of the domain are appraised. The best FREE Domain Appraisal found that is a relatively fair basis out of hundreds available: SwiftAppraisal.com This is at least a fair basis of the ROOT name. ( .tel extension is also a factor ) Before you expect 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 figure sales for your names, please check it out ! |
By this service Sex.com was apprised at $ 62,000 ~ 94,000 . http://valuate.com/ and http://www.estibot.com/ likes sex.com better. . |

PERFECT Example of why SwiftAppraisal.com is MUCH better: valuate.com ~ sex.tel - $130.00 ~ sex.com - $14,350,000.00 estibot.com ~ sex.tel - $130.00 ~ sex.com - $14,350,000.00 swiftappraisal.com ~ sex.tel - $6,200.00 - 9,400.00 ~ sex.com - $62,000 - 94,000.00 As you can see the ONLY difference with SwiftAppraisal is in the .com marketability/recognition vs .tel marketability/recognition. There is NO fair basis for the analysis of sex.tel on the root name alone for the websites that you've suggested, and they like sex.com better because of the value of the website sex.com beyond the name. The only thing they prove is their inability to show the potential value of the domain name as a root name investment, and their own system is self-condemning proof. added: Check out your Portrait.tel, I think you'll see the difference. ;)[/size] |
Yes, for Portrait_tel it shows value of $ 500 ~ 750 - instead of 35$ at Estibot. If I had not that domain in my possession and I would wanted it for my little business (not for re-sale), I would pay those 500 and would think that I made a good business. So for TEL-domains it can be used - of course, as not the exert whose word is decisive, but as one of the variants, which can be taken into consideration. P.S. Portrait.com = $ 5,000 ~ 7,500 according to SwiftAppraisal.com. It seems that this service apprise domain at .TEL as 1/10 of the value of the same domain in .COM . It would be very good if the same proportion would be in reality. |

That's the point of my suggestion with everyone dropping, renewing, selling, keeping, wondering ... your response is again exactly the point, $500 is a value, $35 is a joke. If you give Portrait.tel the maximum advantages in the SwiftAppraisal quote, it's $5,000.00~$7,500.00, also not ridiculous as was seen early last year with Storage.tel, Ohio.tel, etc. Negotiation range between $500.00 - $7,500 can at least be intelligently argued, $35 not so much.

That will be the case if Telnic capitalizes on the opportunity it has. All in good time. Simple realities such as these will come to be known eventually and raise .TEL value: why.telpagesplus.com[/size] |
All appraisal services are nonsense. Don't waste your time. It is impossible to value illiquid assets. |

"All appraisal services are nonsense." - This is true of anything, houses, etc. - but the "don't waste your time" and "illiquid assets", only applies where there is no market. Telnic can attest that there is a market for .TEL ... :cool:[/size] |

* I agree Blogger. The value of any domain is exactly the price a buyer is prepared to write a check for and a seller is willing to accept. No amount of automation will ever be able to predict that with any degree of accuracy. Cheers,[/size] |
Yes, I also agree that robot cannot truly apprise something. So, if it says that your domain worth $$$, it still means nothing. At the same time, when you are choosing which one domain to register for reselling it later, and then the same robot says that this your domain worth zero, then, I think, it can be a reason to think twice about registering that name. |

That's a fact, and the entire point of an appraisal process is only to give some place to start. It's not supposed to be accurate, it's supposed to be a basis that's better than the lame "Make Offer". I would never make an offer other than $1 when I see this ! If you are serious about selling, put a price on it, but base it on something anyway ! At least there's a starting point based upon something more that feeling there ! :D[/size] |

Bingo. :)[/size] |
The whole point of this thread is simple: Zero/Near Zero is ridiculous, almost any domain has greater potential. Make Offer is ridiculous, why bother when it will be low and rejected. Too High, based upon personal opinion and feelings, also rejected. Some starting point that at least has a shred of merit, even if only as a starting point using any market standards for the domain name itself. If you think this thread was anything else you need to lighten up ! |
swiftappraisal.com ~ sex.tel - $6,200.00 - 9,400.00 ~ dialaroom.tel - $5,600.00 - 7,000.00 That proves it dialaroom is nearly as good as sex! lol |
i really like Dailaroom.tel good work on it apart from that i do not believe in appraisal. i have Appraised domains from sedo.com and other sites and to be frank no decent bids have come. so dont ever waste ur money on appraisal and also there are many scams related to this. 1) you get an email for domain....com/net/tel 2) offer is not less then 5000-10000 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************5000-10000******end_of_the_skype_highlighting US$ 3) they demand appraisal from not godaddy or others but a scam site they made where they charge by hr around 100-300 Euro per hr once the domain is appraised by these cheaters and you forward the appraisal to them they will say thanks we are not interested so if you get an email offering you 5000-10000 and demand appraisals just tell them u will sell it for 1000 and he will never find any better value then this by getting almost an 80% of their offered price hahah |
Some good points there Shahid thanks for the tips on the scams out there. I'm sure no one on this forum takes them seriously. I use them as a free source of backlinks when I'm bored. A lot of these sites keep your url, the search engines pick them up as a backlink. |
your welcome, well i agree there with you on backlinks it helps alot it coming up on search engine since i am doing seo for my company's .tel its been performing quite well and hopefully if i have more time will link around 12 more .tel to the same all is all, one thing i can say is if a .tel benifits you its worth alot or else useless :) i sold a few in past some of them good and bad but i guess one should move on, one of the .tel i sold was USD.tel quite cheap some even thought i was stupid but the worst thing is i have so many i need to concentrate on what i am doing and that money can help in renewals of others is how i see it |
It's all pretty quiet on the tel front for the moment. But don't let it get you down - we are still in a recession and most business is fairly stagnant. But here are some appraisals that cheered me up; The Mobile Guide to Mayfair Phone Numbers Worldwide And This for a site that really needs some work and time I know, I know. These appraisals mean zilch, but looking at them on the screen boosts the mood for a few seconds. Oh yes, and just realized appraisals like this can also provide "valuable" back links. |
hahaha nice one talk about appraisal http://www.yandalo.com/www.aids.tel thanks ur right keeps one in a happy mood many of us here need that to keep floating |
You're right, it does help a little ... Credit-Cards.tel Car-Rental.tel |
