Yeah, any website that claims to give valuations is utter crap. It has no idea what you do with your traffic.
I agree with Jeff. A "valuation" site that knows nothing about your website except the URL - not the earnings, not the size of your mailing list, not your advertising deals etc. can't possibly provide a valuation. I've never understood why people trust them. A site is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. There's a detailed study of pricing here and charts of how much other forums have actually sold for.
I think the site with PR2 and 2600 visitors a day is good site to buy for a price of $150 USD. But the problem is, only 50 registered members. So it would be better to add some more members and you can get good price of you forum site.
