I already have an offer for $600,- and I am in doubt if I should sell it.

A good domain name, I think it's worth at least 1K

That is a very healthy offer for that name IMO.

Send over a counter offer and see what type of response you get. This should give you at least a general idea of what their budget may be.

If your planning on holding out for a big pay day with this one, you most likely will be waiting a very long time.

Sell it and move on IMO.

This has no bearing on the value of your name. Anyone can put any price for any amount on any name. And usually the price is way to high.

Take the money and run. IMHO

Thanks for the response.

Does anybody knows the answer to my question:
Right now it has a fake PR 4.
When I checked before purchasing it was a real PR5.
Is it possible that the PR goes from real to fake while it is parked?

I'm not an expert of SEO. But as far as my knowledge it will drop PR from PR5 to PR4, PR3 etc. But will not get fake PR. The domain name have fake PR because its redirected using 301 redirect

search this on Google

info:Summerstays.com

It does not show your domain and shows other domain name. It means its fake PR. That's the best way to check PR.

All or most of PR checkers give dumb results :P

Decent domain. Personally I wouldn't be surprised to see it in reported sales one day for 2K+. The question is when.
.net & .info are still available though.

In my view $600 is cheap but sometimes domains sell for a steal - buyers should get bargains from time to time too

Thanks for the info:Summerstays.com trick
and all the replies. I think only waiting for another buyer will possibly make it more than $600,-
I am not in a hurry so maybe I will wait
