Howdy peeps.

OK here's the situation. I have the possibility of purchasing a 4 letter domain that is a specific English language word. It's a .co.uk domain.

I have had a Sedo appraisal (groans and rolleyes welcome) which valued it in the �30k region. Now i'm not sure how reliable their appraisal is but there you go.
Anyway the buyer isn't aware that I have had the domain appraised and he's looking for �15k to let it go.

While I know there is a good profit margin, I'm not sure whether the outlay is worth the risk. What if I end up stuck with the domain and can't sell it?
It's a very good domain name and would be sought after (I would have thought). I'm not sure what to do for the best.

Any advice?
