Is there any way to get a domain name appraised without spending much money?

I have a domain name that I registered not too long ago, gamemill.com, because I thought it was a decent name and it was available... but now I'm thinking I'm not going to use it. I thought it might be worth something, but I don't know. It I put "gamemill" into Yahoo or Google search, my registrar parking page comes up as the first link. Is there any value in this...? It seems like there is, but I'm not sure how it happened at all because I know so little about this right now. When I move it to an actual domain will it stay indexed in the top spot like that? I have no clue. I certainly wish the name I had decided on to begin with (gamehaven.net) actually did this, but unfortunately it doesn't.

Anyway, I had an idea of just dropping it on eBay with a decent reserve on it, just to see what happens. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hey Py,

Sorry, but I don't think its worth much, $10 or so. If you want some opinions, check out: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=35

The money is in 3/4/5 letter .com dictionary words.

Besides, you can always put your old domain name to direct to your new website if you think it is important for you.
