It was hoped after rough guessing OVT that the google tool would match expectations...it just didnt and continues not to! You cant base a domain names expected sale price on it, you cant guarantee traffic to a search term even if listed in the first three results of google, there are just to many variables.
All it is really good for is to find out if no one is actually searching for a term!

I currently use the Google Adwords free tool to locate good keywords with traffic volume at https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/KeywordToolExternal
I'll select UK, enter my keyword and select EXACT under match type.
I recently discovered a keyword that generates 5,400 local volume per month. Over the last 6 months I then set about optimising a website for the exact keyword phrase. After some hard work I was top of Google.co.uk if you simply typed in these two words.........however......the level of traffic I receive is considerably smaller than what Google Adwords said was up for grabs.
I have also done a similar thing with two other websites and cannot understand why I'm not getting loads more traffic.
The domain name and subject description...everything possible is related to the search term, so my question is.....am I getting confussed with the google traffic prediction.
Kindest regards,
