It depends on the sellers and buyers. Websites aren't like houses that have appraised values. Websites take into account current earnings plus future potential. That can differ from person to person. A good website owner who has invested in the growth of his site, the technology behind it, and the reputation it has will see great returns. You simply can't look at a site from the outside and say based on this traffic it is worth this much.
I bought a site a year ago for 8k. It had a few bidders on it but nothing special. But to me, the site was worth 30k atleast. It had tens of thousands of backlinks already, a good user base, and consistent SE traffic. I knew with some tweaks to the site and new content I'd be able to bring in more cash. The site now brings in close to 4k profit. It was brining in 300 when I started. The last owner didn't know how to monetize properly and didn't know what he had, nor did other potential buyers.
