To me value is based on ROI. That might be ppc earnings for a domainer or leads that are convertable into sales for a company. Nothing else can be truly measured, and imho value cannot be assessed by a third party. Each domain is unique and the 'buyer' makes their unique judgement. I always tell a potential buyer to assess what value the domain will bring to their business over x time and for them to then make an appropriate offer based on that calculation AND not to be tempted to offer more than they can afford with the costings of their business. They should be able to do this. If the offer is not good for me I politely decline. End of discussion. It's sound business sense, for both parties. A third party has nothing to do with this part of the process, just escrow security. I don't like third party valuations. Their not buying, their not selling. Their input can hinder a sale.
For example, if I sell a random three letter domain for x,xxx this doesn't mean that I would necessarily sell another random three letter domain for the same sum to another party shorty thereafter.
