Free Domain Valuation Tools

I have discovered four domain valuation tools in the last few months. Both calculate the value of a domain in very different ways leading to very different results. I tested both with my domain name http://shopthe.net. One came out to $700,000 while the other resulted in $100.

The first was Leapfish:

This gives a very generous estimate of a domain, obviously based on only popularity and not actual traffic, since I basically get none.

You can try their search for getting the value of your domain:

The other site is called Website Outlook:

This gives a much more modest and accurate result.

Search on Website Outlook. Enter your domain.

In addition there is another tool called Estibot.  This offered the lowest price of all.

Estibot

Finally I tried a tool called Valuate, which gave me the second lowest appraisal.

Results:

Valuation Tool Domain Value
Leapfish $774, 680
Website Outlook $146
Valuate $90
Estibot $40

I bought this domain with hopes of reselling sometime down the road for a high price, but with all these varied results I don’t know what to believe.  My guess would be that the last two are most accurate based on popularity, but you never know.  I personally though http://shopthe.net is a popular name.  I want to get a nice site on this domain, but thinking of original ideas for a shopping/affiliate market site is difficult.  If anyone has any ideas drop a comment.

So which domain tool would you trust the most?
