The people who can give qualified appraisals are those that work in this industry and have an intimate understanding of the machinations relating to type-in-traffic/direct navigation and paid-search. Domain values transcend the resale or "buy it now" price. In 2000/2001, domain names were regarded as worthless by all but a handful of wildcatters .. You had stock brokers jumping out of buildings like it was 1929.. checks stopped clearing, the market crashed and burned but a few faithful took huge risks and soldiered forward. Flash to December 2003 when Google rolled out "Adsense for Domains" to the masses and all of a sudden the optic changed on 'main street'. Worthless became valuable. The future is uncharted but any industry that can suvive the tech-crash and live to thrive is one I want to be a part of. As time moves on and more people come in to backfill the work done by early folks like Rick, there will be a new generation of qualified appraisers who 'get it'.. they're coming :) I agree with Dave.. and Rick..

The check from the buyer, that clears. “..There is only one appraisal and we all know what that is…”

The check from the buyer, that clears.
