That is fewer than 10 search engine bots per day, and bots is what it will be, not type ins. Honestly didn't even think it was possible to have a site which such low traffic, since bots will always knock it up. I've hand registered $2 names under weird extensions that have more hits. Anything less than 100 uniques per day is zero traffic.

appraised at $17,000, for $2500

Your name has been registered for 20 years and been unused/for sale for that entire time. Nobody is interested in it.
It isn't worth $2500 or $500, it's worth nothing, unless you're developing a site with "teacher porn", in which case it's maybe worth up to $99, and in 20 years nobody has bothered doing so.
Redirect your 8 bots per day to an affiliate program with some teacher/student content and you'll know for sure its worth (though you've almost certainly tried that, and already know).
If someone offers anything for it, even $1, take it, because it's better than another loss on renewal.
(I'm saying all this knowing you won't listen to anything anyone says, because nobody who asks for advice ever does.)

Estibot appraisal based on the popularity of the keyword.
|
Nobody takes Estibot seriously.
Here are just a few opinions from a domain name forum, where the question of Estibot's accuracy comes up all the time:
"First Rule of domaining: Never use Estibot"
"Estibot is useless. Their appraisal have no value in real market."
"If Esibot was reliable we would all be millionaires"
"Second rule of domaining - NEVER USE ESTIBOT!"
"An Estibot appraisal (just like those from Sedo, GoDaddy, etc.) are as worthwhile as looking at the entrails of a dead goat!"
"On second thoughts perhaps looking at the entrails is more appropriate and accurate."
"All appraisals are unreliable."
"Estibot has never been, will never be accurate."
"It breaks my heart when I have people reach out to sell me names, talking about how valuable their names are because some automated tool told them so."
Alternatively (what you use it for):
"You can use it to motivate potential buyers by showing it to them :D"
Or
"When you are feeling bad about your investment. You can look at estibot $$$ to elevate your mood :D"
