How wrong can sedo 'suggested price range' be?

I have a bunch of domains i have been using for various whitehat seo stuf, namely driving traffic to newly made e-commerce sites to aid selling marketing services.

I had a few i wasnt using, so i parked them at sedo. Now the other day the 'get free price suggestions' option valued one of my domains at £2400 GBP!

I know everyone says these tools are rubbish, but just how rubbish? The domain is a 2 word product related .co.uk (no hyphens or anything) with an exact match [word1 word2] monthly search of around 40,000.

I know how to pick reasonable product related domains as i have been doing it for a while, but i had always presumed they were of little resale value as they are .co.uk's and not .com's

I have infact let quite a few domains like this expire.

Anyone have experience selling .co.uk's?

I have never sold or attempted to sell a domain in my life.
 


The automated tools are pretty worthless IMO.

I checked out a couple of my own domains. These are active websites, and not parked domains.

Domain 1 - It valued it at about my monthly revenue. If I wanted to sell it, which I don't, I would not take anything less than 10-12 times that much.

Domain 2 - It was not far off, but maybe that was an accident. :)

When I have sold websites in the past, I had to prove revenue to the buyers. That seemed a fair and logical way to assess the value.
