Question about buying expired domain names - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok,

When looking at expired domain names and trying to guess type in amounts and value of the domain name:

How many searches in the Overture Keyword Suggestion tool for the keywords is the absolute minimum to make it worth the $60 snapback fee? ex. Is it worth $60 if there were 1000 searches? 2000? 10000?

Also, how many would make it worth it for just plain old $8.88 registration if you can get it without SnapNames? ex. Is it worth buying if it has 100 searches? 200? 500?

BTW: I know that Overture is not a "type in detector," but I know it is somewhat of an indicator.

Most of the numbers aren't fully accurate.

Use your gut instinct. That works best.

I definetely understand that your gut is what gets it for the most part, but is there anyone that at least somewhat bases the value of the domain based on Overture searches? ...

Would a domain with around 2,000 searches for its keywords last month be worth $60?

If so, what's the lowest amount of searches you would go for $60?

It's better to check the overture tool for domain.com - if that gets some results, the name will most probably have some typeins
