I know there's a forum for a appraisals but this post isn't askin 4 one..
Recently, I was in the middle of a domain sale and the potential buyer wanted the domains appraised, which wasn't a bad idea - you never know, I've could've gotten more then I asked for.. but then, the potential buyer wanted me to spend $60 + on an appraisal.. He said GoDaddy and SEDO appraisal services are not manual. They are just collecting money using their well-known names.
He also quoted a forum reply and stated he agrees with it 100%. The forum reply is: "Many Internet users are not smart enough and popular domain brokers are using this fact to make money. They offer them cheap appraisal services. But if their customers would have something in their heads they'd understand experts could not make a professional research for $15-$20. These appraisals are made by machines. Easy money for such appraisers as <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.Afternic.com">http://www.Afternic.com</a><!-- m --> and several other major brokers that offer cheap auto-generated appraisals. In my eyes, all services under $60-$65 are not manual and the results are generated by special scripts. I don't trust auto-generated appraisals."
What is your opinion? Are $15 appraisals BS appraisals?
Thank you for your time...
