Domain Appraisals : - GoFuckYourself.com

ok I have a couple questions concerning the value of a good domain name:
#1. If a domain name is very good and is easily recognizable/brandable does that add value to the name?
#2.If said domain is excellent for several niches does this also add value?
#3. I have been told not to let this domain go for less than $20K.
Having said that, is there any good domain experts here that could give me an idea of the value of a domain and reasons for
a high value domain?
Thanks in advance

Even Miss Cleo would tell you to post the fucking domain.

Let me make a prediction. The domain sucks

doesn't suck, but not anywhere near 20k in my opinion.

I'm not an expert though

definitely less...

i'd say also less than $1k for sure....

But you should ask Taboo - he's the ultimate expert

this is why I asked the questions above. I wanted an idea from
some reputable domain dealers about value etc.
I have several people who have told me its worth 20k.
What I want is some *REAL* info on how to value a domain such as this.

any name is brandable, and that does not make domain values higher!

the key is type in traffic, if the domain has type in traffic then it is worth something.

It's not a bad name, perfectly good for a paysite, but no way is it worth any $20k. Tell you what, ask any of the guys who said it's worth $20k if they want to buy it for $10k. When they say no, say "well how about $5k, you can flip it to someone else for $10k easy." When they say no, ask if they'd consider $1k. When they still say no ask them "then why the fuck did you tell me it's worth $20k." Seriously, if you get a $1k offer, I'd jump on it.

And to give a bit more insight into what makes a valuable name, as mentioned, type-in rate is important. When you hear a two word domain, consider if anyone would think "gee, I'd like to see some xxxxx yyyyy right now." If it makes sense, like xxxxx=big and yyyyy=titties, then bigtitties.com it has some type-in value. Even xxxxx=monster and yyyyy=hooters would have some type-in value. But xxxxx=facial and yyyyy=college, very few folks are going to think "I'd like to see a (or some) facial college right now". They'd only think to type it if you develop and market the name, and that's true of a lot more domains than there are natural type-ins. Like bangbus.com had no natural type-in value when it started, but now zillions of people type it in.

as Polish Aristocrat said, you should ask taboo, or one of the other really big guys

although I'm pretty sure PA knows what he's talking about as well

150$ at most...
