Valuation Model
For each of these questions, answer honestly, and if in doubt, answer a point less than you believe. (Or get someone else to do this appraisal system for your name)
1) Number of words in your great domain names (including prefixes such as e- )
One word = 20 points
Two words = 12 points
Three words = 6 points
Four words = 0 points
Five words = - 5 points (minus 5)
More than five = - 10 points (minus 10)
2) Number of characters in your name (including prefixes, but not the "-")
1 to 5 = 20 points
6 to 8 = 12 points
9 to 12 = 4 points
13 to 15 = 0 points
16 to 20 = - 5 points
More than 20 = - 10 points
3) Does your domains for sale contain a prefix or a suffix?
No = 10 points
Yes:
internet = 5 points
e = 5 points
i = 5 points
live = 3 points
new = 3 points
u = 3 points
a = 1 point
v = 1 point
Other = 0 points
4) Does you name contain a hyphen?
No = 5 points
Yes = 0 points
5) Is your name generic? (This only applies to one-word names)
(NB. Generic means that the name cannot be trademarked, e.g. business is generic, bobsbusiness isn't)
Yes = 5 points
No = 0 points
6) How frequently is your name used in everyday conversation? (ignore prefixes)
(e.g. Auto gets 10, Car gets 10, AutoBreakdown gets 3)
Rank your name on a 1-10 scale. 10 being used frequently, 0 never used.
10 points = heard daily (e.g.. Bank, Sport, Mom, Dad, TV)
8 points = heard every couple of days (e.g. Loans, Tax, Film, DVD)
6 points = heard frequently (eg. Privacy, Net)
4 points = heard infrequently (e.g. Acreage, Casino)
2 points = very rarely heard (eg. Royalty, Tyres)
0 points = never heard (e.g. PrimeAcreage4Sale)
7) How large is the industry that may want your great domain names ? (e.g. Drugs gets 10, Tyre Retreds gets 0)
Rank your name on a 1-10 scale. 10 being big industry, 0 being small
10 points = Massive Industry (e.g. Banking, EntertainmentNew.com, Autos, Business)
8 points = Big Industry (eg. Adult, TV, Music, Mp3, Films, Comms)
5 points = Medium sized industry (e.g. Gambling, B2B, Hotels, Real Estate)
3 points = Small Industry (eg. Paper, Rocks)
0 points = Tiny Industry (e.g. Tyre Retreds, Glass Painting)
8) Now, add up your points and you should have a total out of 80.
9) Refer to the table below to see the value of your domains for sale :
80 points => $2,000,000 upwards
76 - 79 => $1,000,000 - $2,000,000
71 - 75 => $500,000 - $1,000,000
66 - 70 => $250,000 - $500,000
61 - 65 => $125,000 - $250,000
58 - 60 => $75,000 - $125,000
54 - 57 => $25,000 - $75,000
51 - 54 => $10,000 - $25,000
46 - 50 => $5,000 - $10,000
41 - 45 => $2,000 - $5,000
36 - 40 => $1,000 - $2,000
31 - 35 => $500 - $1,000
26 - 30 => $350 - $500
21 - 25 => $200 - $350
16 - 20 => $100 - $200
11 - 15 => $50 - $100
1 - 11 => under $50
These values are for .COM names.
=> For .NET names, the value is 20% of .COM
=> For Country Domains (ex. .DE) names, the value is 20% of .COM
=> For .ORG names, the value is 10% of .COM => For names that have letters replaced by numbers (e.g. "0" for "o") their value is approximately 10% of the original.
10) The figure quoted above is the VALUE of your name. This is the top price that your name could fetch if you hold off selling it at present.
