There are a few domains that might work that way, but it seems to be more like this:

buy domain ⇾ build traffic to domain ⇾ domain value increases

The value of the domain is often an artifact of the value of what was hosted on the domain, or an artifact of the value of the brand represented in the domain, but rarely just "awesome name value".
