Actually I was asking for opinions about the value of this domain in dollars. I think not many members are aware of it here but domain reselling is a huge business and very profitable if you know. There are specialized forums and services for this where you can get your domains appraised and sell them in auction. Just to give you an idea a domain OFFER.COM was sold for $180,000 in auction. Other domains were sold at much higher price. Agreed you cannot earn like this every time but still if you have patience and know how you can easily earn decent amount of money. Even if domain is not sold you can still earn using domain parking and advertising.

Just to let you know FUND.COM was sold for $9999950 in a private auction.
A domain can go as high as this one and as low as reg fee.

Thanks Ali, that has cleared it up.

I'm afraid I don't know what your domain would be worth, I’m guessing that you would need a company that has that name to make it worth anything beyond the registration fee. Then you may find that you get into legal difficulties if the company existed before you registered the domain, as they may be seen as the legal owners of that domain. - precedent has been set for the seizing of domains from registrants to the companies.

As with anything, it's all about demand, and if the demand isn't around for your particular domain then you will not be able to sell it.
