To my surprise there were other registered TLD's with the name taken! Not that many but enough to make your value neutrual on this part.

Not that many terms that use the word gloar, though it does appear to be a dictionary word as that is the first site that shows up.
Here are the sites that I found first on google search.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Gloar
http://w3.palmer.edu/PCCFaculty/Clinics/GloarC.htm
(Appears to be a doctors last name, maybe you could sell to her?)

This site shows the correct definition of the word as...
Gloar \Gloar\, v. i. [OD. gloeren, glueren, gluyeren. Cf.
Glower.]
To squint; to stare. [Obs.]
good news is that this is a one word domain that will raise to it's value, and terms with gloar in it as names of people and the term it's self are showing up first in high page rank.
-Value-
One word domain name ->
+$20
Relevence of name -> Since it's only one word, about blinking, it could be relevent to problems with squnting or staring, or a site about that topic.
+$20
KeyWord Selector Tool ->
-$50 (No searches!, what use is a name without searches?)
Google Searches -> So-so amount of terms that use it and possible interest to people with the last name or a company name.
+$10
Domain Availability -> Seeing that you weren't the only to reg this, this shows minor selling power here, a .info and .cn were registered, assuming these weren't you I'd add it's value
+$2 because of this.
- Estimated Value-
Final Value:
$2 to
low $$
- Reccomendation -
Remember a domain name is only worth as much as another person is willing to pay for it, I'm looking at the value of the name from a conservitive resell point of view, as if I was a purchaser planning to sell for more. The current value is less then reg fee IMHO because of the lack of searches that serverely hurts its value. However, since it is a one word domain with a few other REG's on it, you might be able to get lucky and sell this for >$15 or $50 to the person with the last name. You might as well give it a shot, otherwise I see no advantage currently to holding it.
Hope this helps,
