You should also include this one : If the buyer is a hard person to work with, can't make an offer, has a history of tough dealings not paying on time, etc the price goes up.

Fort Lee is an enty/exit port of New York and New Jersey and North Jersey is kind of the bedroom community for New York City commuters with a growing night life. Pop 41k. I bought the name with intention of building out the site (I lived in Ridgewood, NJ for about 5 years.) I have some bond with the area, but I am so wrapped with building out GeorgiaMountains.net I could use the extra cash. I am also selling BibleHour.com. I was thinking 8k for FortLee.net and 40k for BibleHour.com. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks</p> <strong>***UPDATED BY ELLIOT***</strong> I know Ft. Lee well since I live in Manhattan. It's worth what someone will pay :). I am not in the appraisal business, so I am not inclined to name a value. I will say people will type in FtLee and FortLee, so unless you have both names, there will be some traffic leakage. I wouldn't pay $8k for a small city .net though all things considered.
