Getting back on track and winfree's original post - there is not one word I disagree with in her opening post. I routinely value domains at $0 too. It is true that seeing good ones offered up for appraisal is a very rare occurrence.

In her followup post I would only point out that a lot of people play an entirely different game with their domains and are successful at it. I have no affiliate sites whatsoever (though I am interested in exploring them). I buy and sell my own inventory. There are a lot of technical whizzes here who can build great sites and derive great benefit from a solid name in any major extension that does a good job of describing what their business is all about. They know how to get high search engine placement and the name attracts interest when people see it in the SE listings - then they are off to the races. A valuable name for those purposes does not have to be a one-word generic .com.
