When buying or selling a domain name, you will want to gather as much data about previous sales of the domain name of interest and similar or related domain names to make an informed decision.
Sometimes the top level domain in a different second level domain be a good indicator of the value of a domain of interest. For example, if whatever.net recently sold for $1,000 then you may immediately know that whatever.com is worth more — maybe 10 to 100 times more.
