I use leapfish, nameboy, swift and premium domains often for domains that I'm looking to buy. Some tend to rate high, some tend to rate low. But, when you have a bunch of domains valued by them, you can see generally, these certain names are rated higher, and these names are lower in the pack. Another thing to look at is that if most or all rate a domain name at a high value, there's something to it (not usually the value they claim, but still, it's not a dog).
Nameboy's values tend to be very high, I tend to think the true value is usually about 10% of what they claim. Leapfish tends to be low, they seem to rate high mostly for two things, shorter domain names, but mostly higher for domains that have search engine hits. It seems like those are the only two things that matter to them for the value. Swift's values tend to be ridiculously high. But, it's not bad for comparing apples to apples - meaning if domain a is valued at 56-62k, and domain b is valued at 10-12k, you can guess that domain a is more valuable.
