Reasonable price is determined by a couple of factors:

1) What is the value of the domain to you? Does/Will it make any money
for you?

2) What is the value of the domain to the potential buyer?

3) How much are they willing to pay for it? ;-)

This is really a matter of personal choice. Domain names aren't really
worth all that much in reality. It is all perceived value rather than
any actual monetary worth. After all, it costs roughly $15 to register a
domain for a year, and it costs the registrar about $0.02 to administer.
So, the only real value that you could put on it is the perception of it
someday being some sort of revenue stream.

C-Ya,
Kenny
