One piece of advice for Domain Investors who specialize in Brandable Domain Names is to look at Crunchbase_com.

GoDaddy’s appraisal is not accurate.
It tends to devalue our domains, making it harder for Domain Investors to sell our domains at a fair price.
It only lists comparable sales from sales that have happened at GoDaddy, many of which are wholesale from their Domain auctions.

I understand Tony, that you only want to pay $30 for a wholesale domain name with a retail value of $4000 because of your sell through rate.

Not only is this scheme hurting GoDaddy's credibility, it is also skewing the market data. Sales are being reported way above or way below market value.
The lack of action by GoDaddy is unacceptable.
