The name isn't worth much at all. Sure, if you developed a site about value, then the name would fit, but the site would have worth mainly because of your effort. The name wouldn't hurt, but it won't help much, as it will get zero type-in traffic.
You might not get $100 here, so anyone appraising much higher than that is living in an alternative reality. Real appraisals are backed up by real money. If someone isn't willing to pay 25 percent of their appraisal right now, then their appraisal is meaningless. I would give a higher number than that usually, like 50 percent, but I almost got caught up in a situation a month ago when I suggested a name might be worth 5K and that I would likely offer a little less than that and feel ahead of the game. Of course, I got a PM asking for $4,995, then 3K, you know the deal. If I would have worded my appraisal a little differently, I would have probably had to buy the name just to maintain honor. I actually did offer $2,500 after the first close to 5K ask, just to get out the dilemma, and I almost got caught. The funny part is that it was a very good name, and I still may buy it.
If appraisals mean anything at all in this world, then if you get a PM from someone after you appraise a name for real money, and you aren't willing to pay half of your appraisal, then you are not worthy of respect, and your words are worth ZERO. That was the closest I ever came to having to make a deal I didn't want to, though I still may make the deal. In any event, words matter. If they aren't backed up by someone willing to do business, then the words/appraisals are not worth reading (in most cases).
Any time I see someone mentioning Estibot, appraisal amounts, Google search amounts, or using the words premium or generic, I immediately know that they are full of shit and are trying to sell you a rotten product that they would never buy at that price for themselves or a family member. You didn't do that, but I thought I would at least pass along some insights.
Back to your name. If I opened up my door right now and there were two things in front of me. The first was a 50 dollar bill, and the second was the domain name CompareValue.com, then I am taking the 50 bucks and grabbing dinner, or buying a pair of pants, two shirts, or a six pack or two of underwear.
99 percent of names are worth zero, I'm afraid.
