Additionally, if you have a good name, hold on to it until you get the right offer.
I can't comment specifically on the OP's domain, but it is good to know the buyer and have an idea of why they want it.
Is the buyer a large corporation with millions in sales and the domain goes along with their business plan, or is the buyer someone who likes the domain but plans on using it for basic site out of their home.
In the end, it is what the buyer is willing to pay, but if you have something of value, the first potential buyer may not be the one to offer the true, potential value of the domain. Sometimes you have to sit on it. Another buyer may come along or an old potential buyer may come along a month later and make a higher offer.
Find out the demand, importance, know your buyer, and if it is a company, do your research. Also watch out for larger companies going to a smaller business, contact network admin, or other 3rd party to grab a higher value site. Sometimes you can connect the two by doing your homework.
Best of luck to the OP.
