Selling 4 letter pronounceable domain: jibr.com

I bought this domain some time ago planning a web 2.0 startup. The only problem is that I still don’t have any idea what it will be. For months now I’m thinking about something nice and easy to develop. A simple startup (no big company) but something that makes the web a little bit better. I have a lot of ideas and I’m still working on some of them. At this moment I’m facing some difficulties because I can’t develop or build myself a web application.

This is what I want to do: Sell the domain and use the money to fund the project. I think this will be a good decision because I will no longer be focused on the name, but on the project. To me it sounds more logic to name the project when you know what it will be.

The domain is listed on sedo.com where I also bought it.  I did an analyze on dnscoop.com and it gives the domain an estimated value of  $5.234 (without content, links, PR or anything). I don’t think I will match these magic numbers but any serious offer is welcome.
