It’s amazing what you can learn if you hang around Jeff. This week, he told me that there are companies who will “appraise” your website domain name and give you an accurate value. These valuations come with little certificates that look a bit like stocks or a diploma. It costs $15 to get that certificate of valuation.
I think http://www.yougottabefreakinkiddingme.com is available. So what is it worth?
Maybe I should start appraising people’s names for $15 a pop.
“Hey, Ms. Imabiatch, I’d say your name is worth about two bucks and if I were you, I’d change it. To anything else.”
Seriously though, web domain names have values like your house has equity – especially ones like Sex.com that sold for $12 million a few years ago, or Porn.com at $9.5 million. Geez, What is http://www.freedoobies.com worth?
What will they think of next?
Ask Jeff.
Did you know, (thank you again, Jeff), if you crack open a $5, 6-volt lantern battery, it is filled with 32 standard AA batteries. Yeah. AA’s sell for about $5 for 4. Do the math.
Between the website domain name appraisal gig and loading up on AAs like an E Bunny, I realized that within two days, Jeff has helped me add some fairly enriching knowledge to the extremely important skill sets I learned in college. I was still pretty excited about what a Mentos would do to a Diet Coke, which is old news. So thanks, Jeff. I appreciate the – whoa, what are you doing in there with that cattle prod hooked to your Wii?
