And to give a bit more insight into what makes a valuable name, as mentioned, type-in rate is important. When you hear a two word domain, consider if anyone would think "gee, I'd like to see some xxxxx yyyyy right now." If it makes sense, like xxxxx=big and yyyyy=titties, then bigtitties.com it has some type-in value. Even xxxxx=monster and yyyyy=hooters would have some type-in value. But xxxxx=facial and yyyyy=college, very few folks are going to think "I'd like to see a (or some) facial college right now". They'd only think to type it if you develop and market the name, and that's true of a lot more domains than there are natural type-ins. Like bangbus.com had no natural type-in value when it started, but now zillions of people type it in.
