Hidden Value: “What Is Value?”

In some instances the “comments area” of a post is where a tremendous value can be found, however, it is hidden behind that innocent button called “Comments”. This is the case with a post I posted a couple of days ago, “What is Value?“. I encourage others to participate as well. Together, we’re all so much better. Together, we create where there isn’t.

Dr. Chris Hartnett:

Like all good things in life, it is mostly unquantifiable. How do you put a price tag or value on friendship? How do you put a price on loving a family member, or your love for your child? You can’t. All we can do is give and people like you give without boundaries, give selflessly, openly, without regard for your future gain. You go the extra mile for your friends and you inspire them to do that for you.

M. Menius:

Not all domain names are created the same. Consequently, different valuation measures carry more emphasis depending on the unique characteristics of the domain name as well as the priorities of the potential buyer.

Jarred Cohen:

I value values. I build upon values. I see value where others may not. I utilize values and I network where value exists. To me, value is virtue.
The network of folks that follow the Targeted Traffic tradeshow, and the parallel network of folks that participate in show’s online forum between the shows are the brightest and the best mixture of personalities that could, to date, ever possibly be constructed. It’s very existence is the proof.

Valerie Booth:

For most folks, the initial investment is one of cash. And, as life is, many folks are making decisions regarding their cash at the lower end of Maslow’s Hierarchy out of necessity.

Therefore, it is imperative that they value their ROI in terms of cash and not in terms of higher needs (love/belonging/esteem/self-actualization).


Steve Bates
:

The big problem for determining value is estimating intrinsic value. There is no “correct” intrinsic value. Two investors can be given the exact same information and place a different value on a domain. Some domain investors only look at revenue or click-thru (or some other metirc) and don’t place any value on the “quality” of the domain. Other value investors have strategies based around the idea that a domain can be developed and turned into a cash generating machine.

Rick Schwartz:

The real business and the real value is what you can’t see. What you can’t explain. The hidden tide and word of mouth. Value comes wrapped in different packaging and different sizes. Some may be misleading. It is more than a spreadsheet. Some things can’t be measured with a spreadsheet. Sometimes you can disturb an invisible piece of a puzzle and the whole thing can come tumbling down. Most things of value are invisible. But it doesa not mean it isn’t there.

Like Kevin asked Wednesday morning…..”What is the value of my children?”

Gregg McNair:

To be truly successful in life I believe we need to find balance and incorporate ‘making a difference’ in our lives and corporate values. I commend the subject and those that raise it.

Michael Gilmour:

..my wife is my best friend. If I only asked her to do things for me and didn’t invest time into our relationship then I shouldn’t be surprised to find myself in the divorce courts. The fact is that we spend quality time together and from this is built a great marriage with three kids that we love dearly.
