Welcome, Ray,
I've been using NAMEBOY for rough appraisals recently. Its free and based on the bare minimum of criteria, so I consider it a guide only. When I suspect that I have a domain that's valuable, however, I would pay the long dollar for a professional to appraise it for characteristics which can't be determined electronically, like timely pertinence, current popularity, trend, etc.
I'm no expert by any means but I did learn quickly not to pay to have every domain appraised. If you haven't seen Zach's ebook yet, you might want to invest in a copy. So much of what he teaches in that book makes it possible to determine alot for yourself....or at least create a basis for an opinion and marketing.
Again, glad to see new people visiting Domain Social.
