If .com is valued at £10k, what's .net & .co.uk value? Can they be compared?

There doesn't seem to be a clear value or formula.
For example if the .com was owned and forwarded to a site or certainly not for sale or going to be developed any time soon I would expect that to push the value of a .net up a bit higher than normal.

One person may say .net worth 10% of .com someone else says 3-5% of the .com value.

.co.uk doesn't compare as they are their own market imo, UK domains seem to be gathering trust in the marketplace and value, I am sure quite a few companies that are only UK specific would prefer the .co.uk, also a few more investers with money are looking into the UK market which should help reseller prices.

I would say it is not a simple %age comparison.

I know a few non-UK types looking to invest and are trying to base things on a formula, which is quite amusing when you look at actual sales prices

Ok, but let's say that the .com is active and is generic such as laptopcases.com (Just came to my mind, lol) let's assume that it is active as a domain/site and let's assume that it's valued at £10k ($20k).

Irrespective of how the value of this .com domain achieves its valuation how would I determine a guesstimate value of :
laptopcases.co.uk
laptopcases.net

Better still what would you believe the .co.uk & .net to be worth?

Hope this makes sense.

(I also understand that there is no set valuation criteria and that each domain/case is to be judged on its own merit and this question is purely hypothetical but some advice would be greatly appreciated.)
