Leapfish is a website that purportedly offers free domain name analysis and appraisal to figure out what that domain name you registered so long ago is worth.
Using data collected based on thousands of domain names that have been sold, Leapfish calculates the "Combined Value Score" multiplied by a factor that they label the "Value Multiplier" which then returns a base and minimum sale value.
According to them, this domain is worth approximately $65,000 but I have yet to see anyone offering me that much!
Read on for the full Leapfish report...
Update: after the change to the algorithm by the site owner, lumine.net is now revalued at $20,458.

Thank you for using the LeapFish Domain Name Analyzer. The following custom report explains more details about what each of these numbers means.
The .net top level domain was created around the time as .com names which has given it plenty of time to become popular. This TLD is simple to remember and exhibits a long history making it a great second choice in the domain name market.
As any good domain should, this name does not contain numbers, hyphens, or unicode characters. This is a desirable effect and may not increase the value of your domain name, but it definitly won't decrease it.
Your domain name contains the Dictionary.com entry lumine. Names of this nature are highly sought after because they are what people remember the easiest. On the same token, there are many obscure words in the English language that may not be easy to remember. The dictionary value is only a general rule of thumb.
A 6 character domain name does not get value from being short as much as say a 3 character name. At this point, the value lies in word play. If it contains dictionary words that work well together or as a single, then your value greatly increases.

I realize the algorithm on my site wasn't working right which made people think my site was more of a novelty item. This is because I didn't have very much time prior to leaving for boot camp. I have now graduated basic training and have restructured the algorithm to be much more accurate. Go ahead and give it a try!

They say my domain is worth $604,000. For that, I would include a humiliating pornographic act with the buyer and/or his/her pet...the highest I have been offered is $25,000. So methinks it's not so accurate. ;)

Our organization does resell domains on an infrequent basis. Our experience says that pricing is most definitely a case of value "perception" and the available market (buyers) has a great impact on the price. The advice we offer is be smart but don't be greedy. Ask for the potential buyer to make an offer first and go from there.

$604, 4000? What makes domains that demanding? I need to work out some strategies too for some good figures but does it really attract that kind of offers? Have to unlock the secret but through hard work and lots of dedication towards restructuring the algorithm, lot of work on word play and no greed.
Lumine is not bad at all at $20, 458, Please share your tips.
