Advice on selling a domain name...

transplant thought this was worth mentioning said

I’ve been approached about selling a domain name that I own and unsure of what to do. The name was established in 1997 by the guy I lived with. He ran an astronomy for kids website on it plus photos of the family, etc. He passed away 10 years ago and I’ve kept the site up, but haven’t really done anything with it.

It’s [redacted] if you want to take a peek, (the astronomy site has a page 1 ranking on google if you search for ‘astronomy for kids’…)

I’m not emotionally attached to it, but I’m unsure how to value it. I’ve asked the person to give me a price they want to buy it for, but they replied with “don’t want to throw a number out and have it be insulting” reply. As a seller I know if you say a selling price, you can’t negotiate up up.

Any thoughts on how I can figure out a value and start the negotiation? Give them a ridiculous price and let them come back? (I don’t mind insulting them…)
