Who Needs a Domain Name Appraisal?

1)		Buying a domain If you are purchasing a domain name, having a professional domain name valuation is to your advantage. After all, you will want to know if the sellers asking price is too high or if you are getting an exceptional deal. Having a domain appraisal will give you the leverage you need to get a fair price.
2)		Selling a domain Selling domain names can be a tricky business. If your asking price is too high, you risk scaring off potential buyers. If your asking price is too low, it could cost you thousands of dollars on the closing price. Having a domain name appraisal will give you an idea of a reasonable list price and will give your list price instant credibility.
3)		Tax deduction If you donate your domain name to a non-profit organization you may be entitled to a tax deduction. In some cases, you may be required by law to have a domain name appraisal when claiming such a deduction. Please consult your tax adviser for details.
4)		Asset evaluation When determining the value of your company or web site, it is important to take the value of any domain names into consideration. You should treat domain names as you would any other asset and have it appraised by an independent domain name appraiser.
