I am a writer and for a hobby, come up with domain names I think would be appealing to businesses. As a little experiment I bought about six available domain names for $10 each. I just got an offer from someone who saw one of the names parked on my domain dealer's website so the offer would be binding. I got a market appraisal of the name that was 4X higher than the offer. What would be the best way to make a decision without going through a microanalysis of how to negotiate? (or SHOULD I go through some microanalysis - like market research, etc.)?

I'd just sell it.

I have a concern that before long domain names will be less valuable. .com used to be like 800#. It was valuable real estate.
The problem is a sthe web evolves, and more dot whatever extensions come around, it will all be watered down. pretty soon, no one will care so much if its .com or . turtle.
I say have a discussion with the interested party. Let them know the value of the domain. Ask them what they would be willing to pay max. And take their offer.
Soon domain names will be like American Idol contestants, a dime a dozen.

The law of offer and acceptance applies. If you do not like the offer, then do not accept. If the buyer is willing to negotiate a higher price, then it is your perogative whether you let it go or not.

Simple. If it is 'aged' and indexed in google, it is in fact valuable enough to keep. If it has no page rank, take the offer and run.

If they are paying what it is worth to you then sell it, if it is worth more (to you), then don't sell.
