Overture Bid Amount Survey Questions for Software, please help (rewards offered)

I'm creating a program to assist people with appraising there names, it follows my RVER method found on dnfinder.net.

I'm recently though have discovered a new value to domain names, which is there overture bid amount average. So my goal is to find out how much this affects a persons decision to buy in dollar amounts, I'm going to take a sample of hopefully 25 domainers, people who respond to this and use this to get me a good idea of the percentage the name loses given no overture bid amount, I already know what it gains with it (that is determined from the overture and 80-20 rule, which I can go into more detail later).

For now I just need some help with these questions.

If you had a domain say with 400,000 overture, but by random luck there is no overture bid amounts for that term, meaning you would be lucky to make any dollars at all, would you consider this a negative loss in total to the domain name? Would you consider it a 1% decrease in value, 2%, give me your opinions and why. For your help, I can put your names in my software and a link to your site as well if you would like.

My personal thoughts,

I believe having no overture bid amount makes each of your overture clicks worth less, assuming 20% of the 400,000 possible viewers to your site (if you were page ranked high) clicked to your site, and 20% of those turned into actual PPC dollars, but those dollars were very low, like 1 cent a click, I would think this would cause a negative value to the value of the domain, because of the way I give value to the overture right now which is $5 per 10,000 overture results, because I found that on average from different sites and my own when earning $0.0625~ (about six and a third cents) per click of that 10,000 overture results, 20% will actually visit, that is 2,000, of that 2,000, 20% of that, 400 will look at the advertisements and then 20% of 400 is 80 clicks, 80 clicks at $0.0625 cents average per click = $5. Now of course with higher overture bids then just this low ball safe estimate of $0.06, you can earn the potential for much more, but I set my method on the low end to be safe when appraising names, so if you see value with this method, it's probably pretty safe to say it has at least that much value.

With this in mind, if the overture bids show no results that probably means less then $0.01 per click if not that, and there should be a 1% decline in value from whatever the overture value would have been from my other calculations to make up for the fact it has no bids, and since it hurts as a selling point.

What do you think?
