Thanks Jeff. I received an offer of $ 225 from a big company and I have a feeling that I may be able to get up to around $ 500.
I just did an automated appraisal at DomainTops.com and TopNewsStory.net was appraised at approx. $ 1,100 and the plural TopNewsStories.net at approx $ 9,000. I know that you have to be careful with these automatic appraisals.
