You need to analyze the domain in its own merits, the OP may own a superb domain, one that should be worth $10K and just not realize it. Examine the domain, you must have a gut feeling. I'd love to have a domain giving me $100/yr and ger a $2K offer, and if I just weigh this on parking revenue the buyer is giving me 20-yr income upfront, and you have no assurance revenue will stay at $100/yr. But if you feel the domain is worth a lot more then counter. There's a chance he won't ever get back to you. Do I know this !..... So if you conclude you're OK w/$2K right now take the dough and run
Like Focus says it depends on the name, some excellent domains aren't monetized well for whatever reason, or just can't be monetized even by pros. But the term itself may be a gem. The OP says it's a one-word domain, I assume it's a dictionary word and in the English language (it's nice to point it's a 1999 orig reg but a smart domainer buyer will take this w/a grain of salt) I once had a name that give me $10+ a month for 2 yrs and it was a dog, bad ext too. I liked the revenue so I wouldn't sell for even $500, then income went to $5 and then $3/mo. I tried other pkg cos, even let my rep tweak it, I never got the income up again. $10 doesn't sound like a lot but for a bad name and/or bad ext anyone would take it. There are smart domainers who sell domains making $1,000/mo (that's per month lol) I just hope they know what they're doing, who wouldn't kill for that. Parking as we knew it went on life support in early 2009 and it's still running a 110 F fever .... :-(
