Is a great domain name with PR0 / no backlinks / no traffic worth $400?

    I have a domain to sell a digital product that is something like widget-learning.com but these keywords only get a few thousand searches a month and is not overly descriptive of my product.

    I have found a domain for sale that is more closely related to my product name and also gets about 80, 000 searches a month...it's something like widget-rules.com. Since it gets a lot more searches, has several years worth of aging does this make it valuable...like worth $400? The PR for the domain is zero even after 5 plus years of being registered and there are no incoming links and no traffic.

    My question is basic, does 80, 000 searches a month warrant paying $400 for a domain? If I am missing something please let me know...

    I'd say it's worth what someone wants to pay. Having a URL that contains words used frequently in a search will rank higher on Google (once you have built some links into it). It matter less on Yahoo and Bing. The age of the URL helps too.

    It depends on what those 80,000 searches could bring in terms of revenue to the owner.

    It depends. If it has potential and is a REALLY unique name. Like if xbox 720 was coming out, and someone had xbox720.com with 0pr, 0 bl, etc it would be worth a crap ton
