You are going to struggle to find that, paid appraisal are generally for "light entertainment" purposes only. If it for some sort of taxation or legal purpose I'd probably try moniker though I wouldn't expect a lot of accuracy from any service.

I'd suggest posting it in the appraisal forum to gauge opinions from a wide number of people.

Wondering about sedo? I used their premium domain appraisal service which is supposed to send a reply within 3 business days. Today was the 3rd day and I heard nothing. Used their contact form. Nothing. Couldn't find a phone number. Has this happened to anyone else?

Post the URL here. The appraisal will be a lot more "credible" than from Sedo or anywhere else.

too bad that I paid first and posted later. Will go to the appraisal forum now.

Yes - had someone interested in a name who wanted a third party view.

Paid the 49 Euros, which is £34, or you could pay 49 USD$ which is about a tenner less

3 working days later... (order was 9:49 am weds...) nowt.

perhaps that 39 mins is important in sedo land...!?

They actual took 4 days instead of three and sent me the most rediculous 6 page report. I would love to post it here for laughs but not sure about copyright issues. Just to give you an idea: They compared the search term "making friends" with the popularity of the word "sex" and came to the conclusion that "making friends" is a comparitivly narrow search term. Are you kidding me?

Basically, they charged me $49 to send me a sales proposal for using their services. Not sure how they figure that to be a good business model. Doesn't really make we want to list my domains with them.
