globalisation.com.au $100
faces.com.au $211
tone.com.au $112
metric.com.au $222
bachelor.com.au $102

Where are those sales from? Seem very cheap to me?

Nice aspirational word. Falls into the $5K plus category (where $5k is a filter for low offers).

FYI .com is owned by National A-1 Advertising.

Since everyone else is having a go, I might as well too...

To another domainer I think it's worth no more than a thousand, but to the perfect enduser it could be worth anything. Just depends how long you want to hold out for.

Thanks Andrew ;) !

My point is, why would anyone trawl back through 2,000 odd sales to cherry pick.... err sorry... select 12 domains to help put a value to dreams.com.au? They don't even seem in anyway related to the domain so I can't see how it's helpful to an appraisal?

In fact, if they aren't just a random sample it's actually deliberately unhelpful.

Anyway certainly shows there are bargains to be had at Netfleet - they seem bloody cheap to me!

I picked recent sales in namebio that were a similar price and similar type of name (more brand than keyword).

The fact is similar names are selling for a few hundred dollars. Whatever data I present you'd have some argument about why it shouldn't apply, if this name actually sold for $300 you'd probably still argue that it wasn't worth that.

Snoopy these sales are anything but typical - everyone here knows that.

Let's take some examples without spending hours sifting through thousands of sales to find a dozen that suit your purpose.

How about the last 20 .au domains sold from namebio - this includes the good, bad and ugly:

easywebsitebuilder.com.au $150 23/08/2011
expertseo.com.au $245 23/08/2011
petstuff.com.au $187 23/08/2011
hotproperty.com.au $1,012 23/08/2011
financeforum.com.au $110 23/08/2011
dox.com.au $1,500 23/08/2011
betting-online.com.au $351 22/08/2011
melbourneshopping.com.au $289 22/08/2011
chinadirect.com.au $325 21/08/2011

realestatetrends.com.au $112 18/08/2011
emailtemplate.com.au $101 18/08/2011

Puts it in a different light when you don't cherrypick doesn't it? Still think dreams.com.au is worth $300? LOL

Snoopy is right in that his domains were not keyword based they were somewhat brandable single word domains like he believes "dreams.com.au" to be.

Yours certainly are not.

In fact I don't really know what your list is? A selection of random domains sold in the month of August.

But it doesn't put anything in a different light as you say.

The names are irrelevant to dreams.com.au.

Not that I think Snoopy's were very close - but I see what he was trying to do. He wasn't cherrypicking to be deceiving to back up his personal view - he was trying to provide evidence of his thought process and current market values.

But I still think it is worth far more than $300.

You really think so? To me those sales he posted look like particularly cheap examples from the last few months - they really do. So much so that I had to look twice at some of the prices. Maybe it is just me....
