Expired domain? DA25/PA31 mobile niche, links on www.engadget.com, www.gizmodo.com.au, etc

I'm thinking about getting into flipping domains and I'm trying to get a better sense of how to appraise expired/dropping/for sale domains. Obviously this is custom crawling software I wrote that's got about 6,000,000 records loaded and in various states of analysis. Can anyone give a broad idea of how much this would be worth? It's just one of a huge supploy so I don't care if you snatch it, just give me some feedback.

It depends on what you plan to do with it.

For instance, as a domainer who buys and sells based on the domain name and nothing more, I'm guessing that's not worth anything. Legal issues, .net, outdated model (or will be soon).

As a link seller, you could turn a tidy profit with it. I'd have been willing to pay about $300-500 for it back in my heyday, assuming everything else lines up okay.

As a PBN buyer, if it was in my vertical, I'd probably drop the same amount of cash on it, especially if I can recover most of the content or completely scrape it and rebuild it flat file.

I'm thinking links & PBN people. I'm just really not sure what this stuff is worth these days or how people are using it. I'm focusing on English(wayback analyzed for language) and checked against a list of authoritative sites for editorial links. It was brought to my attention that there's been spam on this domain so it's not a great example, but I've got tons of these coming down the pipeline right now.

I'm going to add a multiple date wayback spam check, and scraping the content from wayback would definitely be an option if I set up a simple CMS that would route paths to indexed content from a DB or something like that. I'm sure someone's come up with some good solution for that.

Looking at Ahrefs profile, i could sell this domain for no more than $30. My expertise: have sold 800+ seo domains in my shop in the last couple of years.

But looking at its history... Geez bro, did you ever look at archive.org??

Horrible domain. Even as a PBN it isn't worth the reg fee. Trademark issues, history of spam, 301 abuse, porn, etc.

Do you sell this custom software ?

I'm considering selling access to it or looking for partners to work with. I'm only crawling expired domains now, but I've had it do auctions and pending deletes on a smaller scale. Depending on what type of domains you're looking for you may or may not need lots of rows/month on an ahrefs account.

Here's an updated screen shot. I made it crawl and display multiple wayback machine pages and that gives a really good indication if something has already been dropped and used for a PBN before or something.
