Greetings and help please - zahar9 - 08-05-2008

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the domain buy/sell thing, but I purchased the domains democracytalks.com, jewelryby.us and electedby.com. I'd posted democracytalks on sedo while I was waiting to make it into a blog. Not knowing anything about this, I listed it for $5K. Next day someone said they'd be willing to buy it pending a valuation. I started looking into what that meant and found way too much info. One online thing came back as $15K (automated), a manual eval by godaddy came back at $2-3K another auto at $8,900. I did a manual at easynames on jewelryby.us and got valued at $6850. An auto of electedby was $25-$35K. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to rely on and what not to...know what I mean? Can anyone give me any advice (judging by what I've seen above) as to how to play this game. What to look for and what not? I would truly appreciate it. Any thoughts on what I got above?
Thanks

If the domain is so interesting for somebody, pay for a real appraisal. SEDO is making good and reliable once.

Thanks for the suggestion. Odd thing is, I've heard SEDO is good...not so good (someone suggested that they will bump the #'s to get you to use their service)...but, then again, I've heard that about others too. So, as a newbie, I'm greatful. Just looking for some more experienced input.
