The domain name is evaluated as over $10k by Gemini, so I don't want to blow it. And I never done that.

As with most things, the price is what a buyer is willing to pay. As for the mechanics, sell it through an escrow service. I’ve used Escrow.com in the past.

Why are you unwilling to post the name here?

    This is on the open Internet where we have many crooks so someone could succeed in impersonating me with my provider and steel it.

Gemini recommended these services for domaining: EstiBot, GoDaddy Appraisals, or Atom. Any reviews?

    Thanks. I suspect that. But why do you seem so sure?

      I looked that up and Gemini finally explained why LLMs overestimate domain names value. Basically it's because only high value names make it to the surface so the data fed to LLMs is very biased towards high.
