OK so I jumped on Snapper auctions just then to see what domains are up for sale today and I saw that LightweightLuggage.com.au was dropping (a domain that I previously owned, but decided to drop).
Then I saw the search volume which said, 480, and I thought to myself, hmm that's not too bad I'm surprised I decided to drop it given it has that CPC.
Then I realised, when reviewing whether to keep the domain or not I was doing my metrics analysis based on the search volumes for "Light Weight Luggage" rather than "Lightweight Luggage" for which the search volume is 10 times higher!
Worst of all the same thing happened to me with the domain NewbornBabyClothes.com.au just the other day, which I also dropped, I did my analysis on "New Born Baby Clothes" which gets less than 20% of search volume that "Newborn Baby Clothes" gets.
So the moral of the story is, don't be an idiot like me, learn to spell... it'll stop you wasting money dropping decent domains, and it might make you some money when the Snapper algo chooses the wrong spelling and everyone else overlooks the real underlying value of the domain...
