Price for a good domain name?

Hey there,
I've got a little interest in a couple of great domain names for some handheld/ipod porn sites. Just wondering what a reasonable amount to ask for is these days.
Thanks!

depends fully on the domain and whether the market will be of any worth in the next years, or just a dying fad

It's a solid name they could be using for at least five years and really build a brand around. I'm just out of the loop on the prices these days.
The interested party is a big company, but they have tons of domains, so I'm guessing there's only a certain amount they're interested in paying.
That said, they did ask me what I wanted for the names.
I want to be reasonable without lowballing myself.
Any ideas?

Can I guess?

ipodporn.com.

Any other hint as to the domain so you can get some ballpark figures? I agree with Equniox as the key is whether it will be something fleeting or a lasting technology/brand.

That's like asking how long is a piece of string. It depends on the domain, how much type-in traffic, how long its been active, page rank, etc. It could be worth $1 to $100,000. Just do some homework on it.

Okay...I know I'm being vague. How about this?
If you take my word for it that they are great names, what is something you'd pay for a name you like, that you're sure you can get several years use out of?
$5K? More? Less?
$1K? More? Less?

I'm looking for just a rough, ballpark idea of the range people are willing to pay, so I can give them a figure...

That's all

Not active at all now...just a name. It's just a better name for their handheld/ipod type stuff than their current one...clever and memorable.
Since they've just started delivering video this way, they could totally brand around these names...

ballparking a domain price without knowing the name is like ballparking a car without knowing the make.

GFY never ends to amaze me.

Good domain names are worth big money.

Right on. I just assumed it was more of a standard thing.

and yet, a big company has asked how much I'd like for them.
Any advice?

These are the names in question:
handheldhoneys.com
ipoon.com

Anybody have even a ballpark figure of what they might be worth to an interested party?
Thanks!
