Hi everyone! After searching for the last two weeks, I think this might be the best place I've found to post this question. This is a great community.
Does anyone have a feel for what tech.com might be worth?
As some background...
In 1992, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign registered Tech.com as the online home of the University-sponsored Research Park. The domain has housed several different sites since then, and is now holding some information about research done here that has been successfully commercialized by outside companies. It's not a high-value use for the domain, but no one has come up with a better idea yet.
A legitimate party recently contacted us with interest in buying the domain. Illinois is facing some pretty severe budget problems right now, so we're willing to consider selling, but we don't really know how to set a baseline figure for the negotiations.
Is it $xxxx, $xxxxx, $xxxxxx?
We don't have to sell, so if now is a bad time, we can keep the domain until a future date when prices are looking up. I know in the end the name is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it, but it'd be nice to have an idea of the range we should be looking at.
