Some research, for what it's worth...
I understand that Estibot automated) appraisals are not considered good - but below is the research I did for some LLL.me names that actually sold in 2013. First is the Estibot appraisal details followed by the price it actually sold for. Then a couple lesser random sales in 2013.
Then at the bottom is the Estibot appraisal details for my domain owc.me - which I'd appreciate opinions about. I have an obsession with chocolate so I purchased it over a year ago with the intention of developing a niche site "Obsessed with Chocolate" but too busy to get to it.
All opinions are much appreciated...
