I don't know if this will help, but I just paid $25,000 (Canadian) for the right to keep all of my three-hundred or so hosting / registration customers. This was in lieu of splitting up the customer base and each partner taking one-half.
So, using that equation, each customer was worth approx. $167.00. My former partner has agreed not to solicit business from those customers for a period of five years. It might be something to go by.
