OT: Serious question regarding value of domain name, advice sought



Hi all. There are some here whose opinions I respect, so I am throwing
this out for some advice.

Years ago (10 years or more) I registered my full name as a domain name
(<firstnamelastname>.com). I also registered .net and .org. I still own
those domains. I have used <firstname>@<firstnamelastname>.com as my main
email address for years.

There is a famous symphony conductor who shares my name and has recently
contacted me and asked me to "give" him my domain name. I told him that I
will not give it to him, but would consider selling it to him. He
responded that he didn't want to get into a lengthy negotiation, so I
should just tell him how much I want and he will consider it.

So my question is, how do I go about figuring out the value of my domain
name? I don't currently have a website up (I have in the past) but
changing the email address would cause quite a bit of hardship. I really
have no idea how to figure the worth of the domain name. This person is
quite famous, and is director of a number of worldwide symphonies and
operas. I imagine he can afford a significant amount, but want to come up
with a reasonable offer.

Any help is appreciated.
