Could I have an appraisal please.
Only here to speculate but yes would think it won't sell again for that in near future. Certainly ask what you like.That's unbelievable.. I paid $10k for it 10 years ago and you're saying it's worth almost nothing?

10 years ago was certainly a bit of a different market for domains, certainly for .net... $10K might have looked like a good deal back then but today that's an end-user price at best for this type of name in .net. I would be surprised to see this fetch more than $2-3K at auction on a reseller market.

Can you provide some background? Why you paid that amount? You were expecting mid xxxxx to low xxx,xxx for it? Or did you have a development idea?
10 years ago, .net was almost the only alternative to .com for a business, as .org was considered as strictly non-profit and others were highly specialized as well. So .net could fetch 1/5 to 1/10 of .com price, now it is more like 1/20 to 1/50 for a good word/acronym.
I'm a developer "now retired", at the time the .com was well out of reach but it was more attractive being a .net "Producer Network". I did have plans which never transpired so kept it. I still can't believe it's only worth a fraction of what it should be for a one word premium name? Doesn't make sense.
You guys must realise this word describes high end professional industries whether it be TV/film, music or the foods/produce industry. I would be ok to let it go at half what I paid at this point.. although reluctantly. I think there's a bit more to this domain than you guys give credit TBH.. it's a special name.

I did not include any of the obviously specialized, short acronyms, multiple words, non-English words, etc. Hopefully this is of some help to you as you decide on a price. It does have the advantage that the word producer has many meanings music, podcast, documentary, motion picture, live theatre, educational materials, etc. If I look at the last two years (any extension) the sales including producer have often been in agricultural or product producer (and that is how the .com is in use), somewhat surprisingly.
Best wishes for it.

Film producers aren't out buying domain names. A farming company will think twice about naming a product/business/publication "producer" because of the developed .com. Honestly, your best bet may be the hemp/cannabis industries, that's a growing market looking for names and with the pockets to pay what you're hoping to get.
Just to add.. I don't see the domain being sold to a specific company, but I do see it as a hub for many which IMO is more of a revenue generator.
You would describe them "hemp/cannabis producers".. I don't currently see a significat news site, growers portal, producer forums or listings. That's interesting.. possible gold mine!
Have you considered you, or someone, using third level with it to have several sites in parallel. i.e. set up a subdomain called hemp (or canna), another for podcast, etc.
canna.producer.net
video.producer.net
music.producer.net
podcast.producer.net
organic.producer.net
lentils.producer.net
etc.
I know not a lot do this, but really you can turn the too general argument into an advantage, and the three word domains (to me) look nice.
Just an idea.

I presume not in the research community or you would know ResearchGate.net (very popular among researchers, academics, etc. I think it is a top 100 site or near it, overall) If you were in Asia you would definitely know of social media network pixnet.net which is huge. I do from time to time use SpeedTest to check network speed - on a .net and again I think top 100 site. Within the domain community registrar Gandi is on a .net. But I agree that most are not on .net (but I would argue they are not on .co either!).I'm struggling to think of a single memorable business I've encountered in the past couple of years on a .net.

(ps a niche which is strong and growing is the crowd sharing model to bring products to launch. This could be viewed as a kind of production, and I would at least consider that, since the net ties in perfectly with crowd sharing)
your appraisal is misleading appraisal ...Low to mid xxx not a bad word it just doesn't describe much. LLLL.net are still dirt cheap.
your appraisal is misleading appraisal ...
