I checked the value of Amiga.org using the linked site last night and it was only valued at half of your 10k asking price. Did something happen recently to cause it to drop that much, or did it not really show a value of 10k the last time you checked it there? Just curious about how that valuation site works and why there would be such a difference between then and now.
The site that you're referring to is a gimmick, nothing else. While it reports a value for a domain, said value is only based on Alexa rank and what it sees as visitors based on traffic. Where it gets those values, no one really knows.
What it doesn't take into account are more important variables such as;
- registered user base
- active web site? (several spam domain search sites bring in millions of hits, so just counting traffic is irrelevant)
- the content on the web site
- the design, layout, and other work done on the site
- the loyalty of the installed user base
- any copyrights, copyrighted, or trademarked materials on the site.
In short, valuing a site may seem simple, and granted, ANY site is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, but anyone who even remotely suggests that there isn't $10,000 worth of inherent value in this 15 years worth of collected works we call Amiga.org simply doesn't know enough to appreciate the years of blood, sweat, and tears we've all (to some extent) put into it.
