Personally, I wouldn't sell "my" main domains for anything under 250k, but thats because I've invested a lot of work into them. Of course, you don't really own a domain any more than you own a word or an acre on mars.. it's all perceived value... and thats the crux of it all. If you loose "your" domain name, how much are you out? I'd probably insist on speaking with the end buyer, wanting to make sure they don't link my domain name into something less than honorable.
