How much is it worth ?
There are six broad categories of reasons to own a domain-name: establish and protect brand names and trademarks, investment for resale, signal country presence, use as a doorway to your Website, use a generic domain name as brand identity, generate traffic revenue.

Current Status of the Market
You should keep in mind that the market is still in its infancy. Thus, it is not surprising to see it currently composed mostly of sellers who have and are still acquiring domain-names as an investment instrument. We obviously believe that there is great value potential in this market for all parties involved.

Bill Gates, CEO & Chairman of Microsoft, has confirmed that domain-names can be valuable. According to him, "it's not uncommon for really good names to fetch $5,000 or more. A media company paid $7,000 for search.com and $15,000 for tv.com. Every once in a while, a name sells for much more; business.com reportedly sold for $150,000."

What factors influence the selling price?
You should keep in mind that how much you can get for it at any given point in time depends on its worth, your negotiation skills, and how deep the buyer's pockets are.

Accepting an offer depends on how much you need the offered money immediately, and whether you are willing to wait for someone to whom the name might be more valuable.
