NameBio Launches Domain Appraisal Game

Sales database site livens up the numbers with entertaining valuation game.

NameBio.com, a searchable database of domain name sales, recently launched a fresh domain name appraisal game. Here’s how it works: you are presented with ten different domain names. For each one you are given 15 seconds to guess how much the domain name sold for. Following guessing for each domain you see the actual sales prices and are awarded points and a rank. Here’s how I did:

At first glance it looks like I need to work on my appraisal skills 🙂 But I disagree with the results. You see, one of the domains on the list was Decay.com. I thought it was my lucky day when this domain showed up in the game. Following all, I used to own the domain and know how much it sold for. I entered $12,000, since that’s how much the guy I sold it to turned around and pocketed. But the game came back with $2,900, the amount I sold the domain for. Talk regarding adding insult to injury — I sold the domain for $9,100 less than the next person and the game shows the lower amount! I checked NameBio.com for the name and it has both sales in the database, so it’s just a programming issue.

All joking aside, this is an entertaining game. If you have a few minutes to kill click on over to game.namebio.com.
