A couple years ago I registered a .com domain name that I intended to use.
It's directly related to a hot collectible musical accessory (these things
sell on eBay
for $50-$500).

The domain is a (long-defunct) brandname followed by the name of the item,
for intance, something akin to "AcmeStrings."

Just got an inquiry asking if I would like to sell the domain name, making a
vague offer of "my client might pay somewhere between $50-100). Any idea how
I should determine a price?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Yeah, take the $100 and run.:-) Sounds like a very good price indeed.

It's just a domain name - there's never been a site, so no content, or IBLs,
& Google wasn't aware of it.

I decided to take the 100 bucks. The guy is a webdesigner (I've seen his
very templatey-looking design site) who says he's got a client who wants it
to sell the items it relates to. The deal went down this afternoon & he's
already got a "coming soon" page up.

Ah, well. Probably could have asked for more but it's nice to have a fast
$100 for a name I wasn't using anyway.

Thanks for your opinions. And, I will check out dnforum.com -

cheers ~

It depends on more than just the name... was it online with a parked page?
Does it have any themed content sitting on it? Any IBLs? Indexed by
Google?

Try asking what people think the domain is worth on dnforum.com.

Only $100? It's probably a serious domainer with a crapload of money,
trying to get it as cheap as possible. Expect them to approach you with a
fake name, saying that they need it for a "hobby site" or something.

You might try eBay. If you don't mind losing a couple of bucks. Just put
a reserve on your auction that is like a million dollars. See if anyone
bids on it.

Of course some people refuse to bid on reserve auctions. So then you can
just do a regular auction and either sell it at the end of the auction
or just refuse to sell. The worst you'll get is a negative feedback.
