What do you guys think? At the time I caught it the domain didn't seem incredibly valuable but I recently got a (dubious) 5000-Euro offer for it from a reseller.
A closer examination reveals the domain has more clout than I'd thought: the domain keyword is taken in 6 extensions (.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .cn) and the hyphenated version in 4 (.com, .net, .org, .info). SilentScream.net appears to have been initially registered in 2002 and has 19 archived whois entries (a lot, which is usually a sign it housed a fairly high-profile website at some point). The overture/wordtracker numbers look pretty good too:
Domain: silentscream.net
Keywords (User-Defined) silent scream
Frequency (Google) 318000
in Anchor Text 24100
in Title 33500
in URL 3520
Max PPC Bid $0.05
MAX PPC Income/day $0.33
Overture/mo 10158
Wordtracker/day 111
...and Google Insights reveals "silent scream" / "silent screams" are very popularly searched terms, especially with regard to abortion clinics.
I'm a little suspicious though because when the reseller put down the 5K Euro offer (which seemed awfully high for the .net version of the domain) and I accepted, he demanded I obtain a professional valuation of the domain. Shouldn't he have requested this BEFORE putting down the offer?
In summary, I'm curious about (1) what you guys think the domain is worth, and (2) whether you think I could trust this reseller.
Turns out the dude who e-mailed me is [email protected], a known scammer:

Gotta love NamePros.
