How much does it “really” worth to you?

A glass of water in your everyday life? Cheap, right?

How about: a glass of water when you are lost in the desert? Priceless…

Today, my friend has shown me a website that “calculate” how much your domain worth. Okay, the site shown that some of the sites are worth thousands of dollars. Hmmm, sounds lucrative, right? But… will someone actually buy it?

It might bring tremendous joy to you when you see that your site you’ve been building for months has been valued by this “domain-valuation” site to a staggering amount of thousands of dollars. But still, will anyone buy your site at that value?

Several days ago, I read an editorial by Stanley Bing on BNET that discuss a somewhat similar question and I found it interesting… Here’s an excerpt of what Stanley Bing has said:

You’re worth what they want to pay you. A few years ago, I “invested” in an old copy of Iron Man comics, one from the ’60s. It was in Very Good condition, and had a story line I liked. It was listed in the Comic Bible for about $40, but I got it for $25. I showed it to my then-wife, who looked at it with great dubiosity. “How much did you pay for that?” she asked me. “About 20 bucks!” I said proudly. “And it’s worth $40!”

“It’s only worth $40 if there’s somebody who wants to pay $40 for it,” she said. “Right now, I’d say it’s worth about $20, if that.”

So… whether or not it is priceless or not, depends…

The equation: 

How much does it “really” worth to you = how much money you are willing to pay for it…
