Three things jump out at me in that post:
1. Using any online 'appraisal service' or what have you as a pricing guideline is not something you can depend on. There have been numerous tools like this and sometimes their results are so wrong it is funny.
2. People who own domains get do get a lot of mail, often of the "let me scam you" variety. Standing out from these is the trick.
3. A good domain name is worthless without good content. Don't pick a bad name, by all means, but what lives at that name is much more important than the name imho.
- larrys 13y ago"Standing out from these is the trick." It's not hard to stand out. You just have to be realistic about the price you are willing to pay. Domain sellers are all over the map. Some are highly rational and some are gamblers. The gamblers are willing to wait for the big fish to come along and pass up an offer that could be 5 times the amount that another domain owner would accept. Agree with the domain appraisal service comment it can easily mislead you in either direction. The problem is if you know nothing about this you won't know which direction that was.
