Unless the domain name is amazing, the value is usually very low. Even with traffic. The thing with websites today it's more about the content rather than the site name. Bitcoin.com is obviously worth a lot, but mainly it's the content that matters. A site like preev.com is a short TLD but preev doesn't really mean anything or pertain to bitcoin, however it has a lot of traffic because it's a well known converter. Also look at MtGox, it had incredible traffic and value but the name didn't pertain to bitcoin at all. Basically I'm saying if the content is good enough you can make a domain like vrrrmbitcoin.com popular.
Side note: online domain valuation sites do not hold any ground when trying to sell a site, almost everyone ignores them.

Domains usually fetch peanuts here or there's little or no interest. I don't whether that's because they're crappy names or there's just no desire for them. You'd get a better price elsewhere and just change the money into BTC.
Domain age may not be that important as there is a lot of discussion that Google may reset domain age when a domain is transferred to a new owner.
Slightly old, but from http://www.johnon.com/543/mattcutts-domainroundtable.html
If the name is 5 random non-vowel letters it's unlikely to be worth much base on the name itself, unless you can find a way that those letters can be used as some kind of shorthand for something with meaning.
Genuine traffic is important but yes, as Xialla mentioned, can be faked.
If you don't want to post the actual domain here, you can try one of the webmaster forums. Be careful that posting urls is allowed though.

Matt says if a domain changes hands, Google resets the links vale to zero/near zero.

Alexa rank is just useless indicator - almost nobody using their stupid plugin and you can completely fake ratings and buy traffic from bots with alexa plugin installed in order to raise it
traffic is worthless and completely doesn't matter - you can buy (on fiverr for example), thousands of viewers daily, fake analytics outputs and use websurfers.
what matters:
domain name?
how old is domain?
is domain analytics/adsense ready? (is possible to use it there)
history of domain and usage of it?
those assessments for domain value are also useless. so best thing what you can do is post domain name here and ask others for opinion. anyway, If you found 100$ via web service, it is most probably worthless..

*Sorry for that if it is in the wrong section.
I wanted to sell my domain for bitcoin. However I've seen here that some domains have an 'estimated' value of few hundred USD is selling for fee dollars. My domain have an estimated value of $100-300 on different domain value estimating websites, and having an Alexa rank of ~9M. My domain don't have a special meaning, it is just make of 5 random non-vowel letters. How much does it really worth? Will someone here buy it?
