Are any of those domain price generators accurate?

I've always had people like say, this domain is worth $(enter amount here) according to www.(somesitehere).com

Then, I go to that site, and its some automated site that tells me all my domains are worth something in the thousands. Are any of these sites accurate or how do you find the real worth of a domain?

In my opinion, a domain is only worth as much as you can profit from it.

Or as much as someone else thinks they can profit from it

Domain name pricing is something very hard to build an automated service to put a price on.

You can look at traffic stats, etc. but you also have to look at where the traffic is coming from and stuff like that.

Aye, I think I said that somewhere in my post too

i entered a random bunch of letters and numbers and it was still valued at $500, they don't work very well

lol, I've actually never used one before in my life, anyone have a link to one of them?

They could be accurate to a degree, but at the end of the day a domain is only going to be as worth as much someone is willing to pay for it.

I think they are just link bait. If you want to sell it tommorow the price is going to be completely different from if your comfortable holding out for another 5 years.
