"and the most I was able to get from the 40 companies I contacted is $7,500" Can't sell names outbound. Someone has to come to you. So this doesn't surprise me

"and the most I was able to get from the 40 companies I contacted is $7,500" Can't sell names outbound. Someone has to come to you. So this doesn't surprise me at all. "estibot value for the hall.com domain is $294,000" Estibot means almost literally nothing. As you said "a domain is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it" There is no correlation whatsoever between any domain I have sold and what estibot or any "appraisal" service says about the value of the domain. Although I have used that value if it gives me an advantage with someone who doesn't know about the business.
