Fun idea, but i can’t shake the feeling that I’m doing free work for domain speculators...

Thanks! You have to own the domain before I list it (although verifying it can be tricky), so hopefully we don’t see too much of that.
Personally I would find this really helpful when evaluating a domain purchase. I can't tell you the number of times I've checked for the availability of pretty high quality domain, seen it's available but there's no way to inquire without putting in a (non-binding) offer and wondered what a reasonable offer would be.
I hope PeerIdeas will at least give sellers a reasonable foundation to work from, and buyers an idea of what the rest of the market thinks.

If this tool helps buyers and sellers meet somewhere in the middle I’ll be happy.
