A high DA or TF gets a domain onto the shortlist. It doesn't make it a good buy.
There's a difference between finding a domain with interesting numbers and finding one that makes sense for your project.
Before bidding or registering, give it a few more checks:
Look beyond the backlink total. How many different domains are linking? Open some of the links rather than treating a large total as lots of independent recommendations.
Read Trust Flow and Citation Flow together. A big gap is something to investigate, not an automatic pass or fail. There isn't a magic ratio that replaces checking the links.
Check the topic. Topical Trust Flow can help you investigate the subjects associated with the link profile. Are those relevant to what you intend to build?
Look at the pages and the history. Check which URLs receive the links, then inspect older Wayback captures. Does the previous site explain the backlinks you're seeing?
DomDetailer brings Moz and Majestic metrics together for bulk checking, so you can narrow the list before spending time on individual candidates.
I've put the metric explanations together here, including what the different fields can and cannot tell you:

Use the numbers to decide what deserves a closer look, not to make the buying decision for you.

25,000 domain checks. $34.
Use them this week. Or next year.
Use them this week. Or next year.
Domain research doesn't always arrive in neat monthly batches. You might have a huge list to work through now, then barely check anything for a while. Paying for another month just to keep an unused allowance alive isn't much fun.
DomDetailer works differently: buy a credit pack, use what you need and leave the rest for your next project. No subscription, no monthly reset and no expiry date on the balance.
One domain-metrics lookup. All the returned data. One credit.
That's Moz, Majestic and DomDetailer's own index metrics together - not a separate charge for DA, another for TF and another for the remaining fields.
Run 1,000 domain-metrics lookups from the starter pack and you've still got 24,000 credits waiting for you. Whether the next job comes along tomorrow or six months from now makes no difference.
Use them through the browser tools, Windows app or API, all from the same balance. You don't need your own Moz or Majestic subscriptions either.

A quick clarification for anyone who's seen "API" on the DomDetailer site and assumed it wasn't for them: you don't need to write a line of code.
You can check your domain lists right in the browser. No installation, no script to put together, no copying individual results into a spreadsheet.
Open the Domain Stats Tool, sign in or enter your DomDetailer API key, then paste your domains or import a .txt or .csv file. The results bring Moz, Majestic and DomDetailer's own metrics into a table you can sort, filter and export.
For your next auction shortlist, try this: load the candidates together, compare their metrics, then export the ones you actually want to investigate. Keep the detailed history and backlink checks for that smaller group, rather than bouncing between tabs for every name that caught your eye.
The browser tool uses your existing credits. One domain-metrics lookup costs one credit for all the returned metrics, not one credit per column.
That makes it just as usable for a handful of names as it is for the bigger research jobs. The API is there for people who want to integrate it, but you don't have to build anything to get started.

Building your own SEO or domain tool? Don't build the metrics infrastructure too.
One of the reasons DomDetailer exists is because getting useful domain metrics into your own software shouldn't require maintaining multiple subscriptions and integrations.
A single domain-metrics request can return the Moz, Majestic and DomDetailer data we hold for that domain.
One request. One credit. 25+ fields back.
If you're developing something internally, selling a desktop tool, building a SaaS product or just automating your own domain research, the API is deliberately straightforward JSON.
You can also let each user provide their own DomDetailer API key. That's how a lot of integrations work: your software gets the data, but you don't inherit the customer's lookup bill.
And there's now an OpenAPI specification too, so you can import the API directly into tools such as Postman or generate a client rather than building everything by hand.
The same credit balance also works in the browser and desktop tools, so you aren't buying a separate API-only package.

Yeah, I have added them now.
A DA 40 domain can look like a much better buy than a DA 20 domain when you're scrolling through a list. I'd still want to see the links before deciding that it actually is. The higher score doesn't tell you whether the site's history fits your project, or whether the links behind that score are ones you'd want.
That's why I wouldn't use DA, TF or any other metric on its own. Compare the referring domains with the backlink total, look at the topical data and open some of the pages receiving links. A mismatch between the numbers isn't an automatic reason to reject a domain, but it gives you something specific to investigate before bidding.
DomDetailer puts those checks within reach without making you collect the metrics from several different services. You get Moz, Majestic and DomDetailer's own index metrics together, so you can compare candidates in the browser checker and decide which deserve the extra research. One domain-metrics lookup uses one credit for all the returned metrics, not a separate credit for every column.
Try your next shortlist in the DomDetailer browser checker. You don't need to write any code, and the comparisons give you a much better starting point than choosing whichever domain has the biggest number beside it.

There's a part of DomDetailer that's easy to miss if you mainly use it for DA and TF: you can pull the actual backlinks as well. The browser backlink tool uses the same credit balance, so existing customers don't need to buy a different package to try it.
One backlink lookup returns up to 5,000 link rows, plus a profile summary, for one credit. Those rows come from our own backlink index and include the source page, target URL, anchor text and follow status. The number returned depends on what we have indexed for that domain.
For a practical first go, try a competitor you already know reasonably well. Open a few of the source pages and look at why they link: is it a review, a useful guide, a business listing or something else? There's also a one-link-per-referring-domain option, which is handy when you want to research different websites rather than work through repeated links from the same site.
The billing distinction is worth making clear: a domain-metrics check costs one credit for all its returned metrics, and requesting the backlink list is a separate one-credit lookup. Doing both for a domain therefore uses two credits in total, not a credit for each metric or backlink.

There's a bit of a trap with the word "premium". A memorable business name and an expired domain with a useful backlink history might both be worth investigating, but you wouldn't necessarily buy them for the same reason. Before comparing prices, I'd want to know what I was actually buying the domain to do.
My video on what makes a domain premium looks at those different reasons for wanting a name, from branding and commercial keywords through to its SEO history. It's worth watching before treating every expensive listing as though it offers the same thing:
DomDetailer helps you investigate the data behind the SEO argument. You can pull Moz, Majestic and DomDetailer's own metrics together, compare the candidates and decide which deserve a closer look at their backlinks and history. That gives you something concrete to work with when a listing's main selling point is its authority metrics.
It isn't an automatic appraisal, and I wouldn't use DA or TF to invent a resale price. A name you'd happily build a business around and a domain you're researching for its existing links are different buying decisions. The useful part is having the data available when those links are part of the reason you're interested.
