Promises, promises

suzilem pointed out this free domain name appraiser at leapfish.com.  Unfortunately, as they say, "You get what you pay for, if you're lucky," and I'm guessing it's WILDLY optimistic.  It wasn't very impressed with caerllewys.net, quoting about $2900, but it claims babcom.com, my primary domain which I've had since about 1994 or 1995, is worth slightly over $71,000.

Holy crap, Batman.  If someone offered me $71,000 for babcom.com, I'd sell it so fast there'd be scorchmarks on the Internet.

1211.net came in at around $23K

for a reality check here

1211.com is owned by an extremely expensive apartment building in NYC, apparently one of the ritziest places to live in the city.

In the 9 year's I've owned 1211.net, not once has 1211.com ever approached me to buy out my domain to protect their potential residents from arriving at my den of iniquity on the `net

Yeah, no-one's exactly been queueing up breaking the door down to get babcom.com, either.
