Hello everyone. Before I read these latest posts in this thread, I would have gladly told you my domain name. I realize you do not know me from John Doe, however, I did not come here trying to hawk or sell anything to anyone.

I have no idea what the real value is of this domain, I only know that per GoDaddy, using their Certified Domain Appraisal, they gave it an appraisal of $17000.00 for the high end with $6500.00 for the low end. I am not usually lucky in too many things, so I thought immediately it must be a mistake.

I frankly feel as though I've been made fun of here, being a "newbie" domain name buyer. I've been reading WW for years and I've been thankful for the many knowledgeable webmasters here who have offered their knowledge, their advice, and their kindness to me and many others who post questions here.

I've read with great interest the posts of this forums moderator, Webwork. It was reading this mods posts that actually got me interested in increasing my collection of domain names. It was an inexpensive way of perhaps making an investment much as one might do with stocks, you may get lucky, or you may lose all you invested.

At this time, I am choosing not to disclose this domain name for several reasons. I've now got a website up and running, and I will not be accused of taking this opportunity to hawk or sell anything. I really would not abuse my membership in this forum in that way, nor would I want to take advantage of my being able to post my domain name when there may be many others here who would love the opportunity to do the same.

If I have broken any WW TOS by posting this thread, please do accept my apologies. I did not post my domain name, nor did I ask anyone to buy it nor did I list it for sale, so I'm truly not sure what I've done wrong here, but please do let me know as my intentions were innocent. I was seeking advice from my fellow webmasters, that is all.

Just for anyone who is curious, the domain name has 8 letters, is made up of two words, is a .com and has no numbers or hyphens. According to the appraisal, the less letters, the less words, no numbers, and no hyphens, and being a .com make it more valuable than some. Not sure in particular why this one came back with this type of appraisal as I have domain names with less letters that appraised for nowhere near what this one did.

Again, thank you for your time. Sorry if I've somehow offended anyone.
