Yesterday, there was a big domain sale and the premium domain, Dating.com sold for $1.75 million dollars. There are many discussions regarding this domain sale and some said too low, some said too high price. For me, I think it would depend upon what the domain seller would do with the money. I believe he got a good domain sale and he could buy some decent domains at reasonabe prices. Yes, he may get 3 million or more if he waits a bit longer but he might have missed opportunities to capture more or less similar quality domains at very reasonable prices.
For example,
He may get 3 million dollars for dating.com in 5 years’ time by waiting a bit more.
But if he reinvests the money (1.75 million) in the domains in xxx,xxx range and if he manages to get $300,000 domains at $100,000 prices, his new porfolio would be equivalent to 1.75 x 3 =5.25 million dollars.
Therefore, I believe he gets a fair sale price if he decides to reinvest the money to acquire quality domains in this time of difficult economy.

The price is as perfect as the buyer wanted it to be. There is no further discussion. Appraisals and opinions are valueless.
Not exactly the case. Some domains are sold much lower or higher than market value.
I know the owner of a premium sold his name for a few thousands and the seller flipped it with profits of millions. I think the domain was Ship.com.
So it is not always the case as you said.
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
