Interesting feedback from automated domain valuation tools. Researching a one-word dot com for a brokerage client.
GoDaddy - $22,000
Estibot - $387,000
NameWorth - $2.25M
Saw - $902,000
I had "estimated" mid 6 figures prior to checking these tools.
Ybot․ai has acquired https://t.co/5rMFKzCkGT from its past domain name owners. The domain appeared to hold a $39,999 BIN and was using an Efty lander when it changed ownership. Ybot is redirecting the .com to the .ai domain currently.
I see the 2022 Favorite Registrar poll is up @NamePros. You are allowed 1 vote. Thanks Raymond @TLDInvestors for setting up the poll. https://t.co/WTrCiBxSTE
