Circular Data
The domain secondary market has a structural problem. The same platforms that set sale prices also provide the appraisals. When a domain sells at an artificially compressed price on GoDaddy, that transaction becomes a comp. That comp feeds the next appraisal. The next appraisal suppresses the next ask. The cycle repeats. It's not a market — it's a loop.
Our research identified that the GoDaddy appraisal engine was frozen as of April 2, 2023. The model hasn't updated. .AI domains sold at $140,000 are still being benchmarked against 2022 .com logic. Keywords that command $30,000 on neutral platforms like Afternic and NameBio sell for $2,400 on the same platform providing the "market rate" appraisal. The conflict is architectural.
Weckett exists to document this systematically — not emotionally. Venue-adjusted comps, model transparency, and a published pricing standard that any seller, buyer, or lender can interrogate. The domain market is ready for a Bloomberg. We're building it.
"marketvalue.org sold on GoDaddy for $765. A domain literally named market value — on a platform that doesn't know what that means."

Latest Market Signal
The GoDaddy Appraisal Is Frozen at April 2, 2023.
Every appraisal it's generating right now is running on a stale model. That's not a bug — for a platform that profits from low sale prices, it's a feature.
