It has a pagerank of 3 and gets steady traffic.

Any idea how much it`s worth?

The appraisal thing is probably a scam, I wouldn't do it. Search on these forums for appraisal scams and you'll understand the situation completely. Basically, someone emails you interested in your domain but requests an appraisal. They usually have a link recommending a specific appraisal service. You pay for the appraisal and then you never hear from them again.

If you go with an appraisal, I would tell the buyer that they have to pay for the appraisal and then if they buy the domain, you will deduct the appraisal cost from the total price of the sale.

I don't see any legitimate reason for someone to request an appraisal though. If someone contacts you about a domain, they either know how much it's worth or they want to use it and then it's worth however much they're willing to pay for it/you're willing to sell it for.

I don't see anything particularly valuable about this domain, Page Rank usually does not add much value, but the domain worth entirely depends on how much traffic it gets and how much revenue you make.

Agreed with slipxaway. Looks like a scam.

A person willing to spend $xxxx on the domain wudn't have to worry about spend $xx on appraisal. Ask the buyer to pay for appraisal if he's really interested.

The usual case is, you pay for the appraisal, and the one "interested" in your domain is the owner of the appraisal site. Once appraisal is done, he wont contact you!

Its a scam

but appraising the domain:

I would say its not worth more than mid$xx... The hyphen drastically lowers the value and even without it it makes no sense, mp3u just sounds silly. The page rank may slightly boost the value but its still not a great name, nowhere near $xxxx
