Actually I don't know what is a reasonable period :)

But I guess - a week after the first bid is reasonable?

Well, If you are really on domain business, then you know that .today is a very new gTLD.

But even that, there are already few deals :

http://onlinedomain.com/2014/02/19/news/2-new-gtld-domains-sold-for-12500-6-domains-sold-for-3000-28-domains-sold-for-1200/ (http://onlinedomain.com/2014/02/19/news/2-new-gtld-domains-sold-for-12500-6-domains-sold-for-3000-28-domains-sold-for-1200/)
http://onlinedomain.com/new-gtld-domain-name-sales/ (http://onlinedomain.com/new-gtld-domain-name-sales/)

and GSM.today is a great one, because GSM is not a random LLL, it's the biggest tech today.

And with no offence, but such domains are a way way better than for example from your list: BitPaydayLoans.com. EDM are dead from a long time.

 Because it's new gTLD.
 But there are already an examples of even bigger .today gTLD sales.

 And it will be much higher after few month, when people actually start developing project on the new gTLDs.

 So I prefer to keep it even for developing, instead of selling it cheaper.

And from curiosity - what do you think is a fair starting bid?

You seem to contradicting yourself. You seem to value this domain quite highly (see post below), yet desperately appear to be a dire rush to sell it?

Before you insecurely attempt to bash any our domain investments (like you previously did), I'll be the bigger man and offer some honest help to your cause since I am really on domain business.

You're domain is probably worth what you paid for it - today.

It could be worth more in the future, but that doesn't mean you can get that today, if ever. Furthermore, simply assuming that all gTLDs are worth a premium is an erroneous view and will only lead you down a path of financial losses, fast. That market is even more speculative and risky than purely investing in BTC. As much as you seem to dislike EMD and .com's, in aggregate, they hold more resale value than gTLDs and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future, so I suggest you learn more about the industry before you spread misinformation and condescending words toward somebody trying to help you. Good luck

Heh, I'm not on a dire rush to sell it.
As I said - was asking just from curiosity for opinion.

And I also do not want to be harsh, but your opinion is only trying to protect your investment.

About the EDNs - this is not a try to bash your domains...
It's just my opinion - The EDNs are dead from a long time.
Will give you the example with the same domain I did before - BitPaydayLoans.com. This is 100% EDM domain, which could not be branded. Brand is Yahoo, Google, Imgur, Fiverr. Not 4 short words. Because the end user cannot distinguish BitPaydayLoans.com from BitPaydayLoan.com for example.
EDNs was good for Google traffic, but never good as brands.

Anyway - we could transfer our arguing to PMs :)

Because of the words of CryptoNames and because I have a big domain portfolio, I decided to make an experiment with this domain:

It's now on Flippa (https://flippa.com/3049824-no-reserve-perfect-domain-name-for-gsm-forum-gsm-review-site) as 30 days auction, with No Reserve :)

You could close this thread. After 30 days will have a real valuation - not by measuring dicks, but by the market :) Just hope that I will be right...
