The other day I was helping a client transfer their Go Daddy domains and noticed another creative little thing Go Daddy does. They place an appraisal *cough* of your domain right in the admin, making people think that every precious domain they have is worth a significant amount of money so that they continue to renew the domain at stupid high rates year after year.
