This chapter explores the complexities of domain name pricing, arguing that traditional comparable sales ('comps') fail to capture the uniqueness of each domain transaction. The discussion emphasizes the importance of market context, knowledgeable brokers, and data-driven insights in accurately valuing domains, especially high-value sales. A Twitter poll sheds light on industry perceptions regarding the transparency and reporting of significant domain sales, reflecting the subjective nature of domain worth.
What do successful domain name investors think when they value domain names?
In this show:
- The Sherpas get into a discussion on whether domain name sales should be disclosed, if it is good for the domain industry, and how it impacts the buying, selling, and brokering of domain names.
- They play The Domain Game (starting at the 37:06 mark) where they guess what certain domains were bought and sold for by the Sherpas and discuss the reasons behind their evaluations. Today's domains are DutyFree.com, EliteDog.com, and Textiler.com.
- They also review a list of domains about to come up for auction on NameJet.com, including SmartKitchen.com, NashvilleProperty.com, BeautyAcademy.com, and CharityAuctions.com.
- Also, DomainSherpa is now integrating with Muse.ai for episode transcripts and an AI-driven video player to easily look for topics, words, phrases, etc., and jump to the points in the video where they occur. Let us know your feedback!
- Plus, all DomainSherpa podcasts are now up on our YouTube channel at DS.tv and much more!
