Domains aren't really worth anything. If you have something that might be popular like cocacola.com , the company could easily take it away from you using trademark law without paying you a cent.

The best way to calculate the value of a domain name would be to count the hits it gets, then multiply it with the amount you might have made if you hosted ads. This is usually very very low for most domains.

There are a number of professional "domainers" who buy and sell domains for a living, but as you can expect only a fraction of them make huge amounts.

You can search on YouTube or Google on more information about it, there were a few that I watched with basic statistics.

mtn.com was purchased by MTN for quite a packet - it was owned by some or other america crowd where the M stood for one of the states' names.

Orange.com similarly sold for a decent sum.

i dont know, just for interest sake i did a little search of our domain name on google and i found this : http://www.websiteoutlook.com/www.roseza.co.za

now keep in mind our website is local and not international and obviously it is measred for international standards, but i was pleasantly surprised that our little local domain managed to make its way into a international evaluation server :)
