For the 4th night in a row, newer domains being added to GoDaddy's auction inventory (auctions end 10 days after being added) are not showing any amount for "Estimated Value". Domains added less than 4 days ago still show their appraised values.
Since inception of their automated appraisal system, it has gone through at least 3 generations. Perhaps the current pause is in preparation for another revamped algorithm.
1st generation did not show any value below $1000 and was unforgivably horrible.
2nd generation did not show any value below $500 and was still very bad.
3rd generation did not show any value below $100 and was noticeably better (not good).
It should be noted that no automated appraisal system could ever be even close to accurate for certain categories of domains (mostly brandables), and while the latest generation definitely could not be relied on for any kind of realistic accuracy in any way, it indeed had improved significantly.
