I would say $1,500 just for the length.

NL domains are very scarce - especially with only 260 possibilities. But .org is inferior to .com, and 6b is much harder to find a meaning for than another combination of characters.

Seems like some sky high appraisals. Not sure what makes it so valuable, but as long as those who are appraising are ready to come with cash in hand right now for this name, then I guess I will take them at their word. I would wager that if you listed this name here those same people with the high appraisals would not bid anywhere close to their appraisal, so in my opinion you cannot take those numbers seriously.

If one of them has PM'd you an offer that is consistent with their appraisal, or otherwise would be ready to pay decent money for the name now, then I am all ears. All I know is that if you put 100 of the most experienced domainers in a room today and they had to choose between $1,500 cash or 6b.org, that it could very well be a clean-sweep for the cash. I guess if that makes the name worth thousands of dollars then we are really talking fantasyland here.

A name is not worth thousands of dollars if nobody will pay that for it right now. If the odds of you getting a few thousands dollars are 20 percent, then that hardly makes it worth that. If I go to Vegas and bet a football game for 1K the chance of me winning the bet and doubling my money is 50 percent. That doesn't make the bet worth 2K right before kickoff. It is worth 1K, and I could sell it for close to that amount before the game started.

There is some funny math and funny numbers floating around here.

Anyone willing to put some cash to see how much 2 character .org is really worth? I have a domain name 6n.org which is a couple of alphabet letter away from 6b.org ....

I am willing to let it go on sedo and let it go through the auction process. Who's willing to place the initial bid to kick start it?

Normally, I agree with your assessments, but this is a commodity type name like a ccc.com, LLL.com/.org etc. There is an established sales history and it is pretty easy to assign a value range based upon that.
Got to Namebio.com and you will find previous sales like:

3x.org - $2000
1k.org - $3700
6k.org - $1700
8o.org - $1450
9v.org - $1300
c5.org - $3100
3t.org - $3995
9b.org - $1060

It is hard not to establish that a 2 character .org is NOT worth at least 1K. Will he get it? Who knows, but that is the retail value. Are the flippers here going to pay top end, no. I still imagine the OP will get some $800-$1000 from the resellers here. But hey, I could be wrong.

Just because you or I wouldn't buy it, because we don't see any use for it and don't want to tie up this much in funds, doesn't mean it is without value.

I would think that it would be difficult to brand from an end user's perspective.

As for a reseller, we just need to quit thinking in a reseller mode. Ultimately, if you plan on keeping it then you become the end user. IF you plan on flipping it, who is going to see in it what you see in it? And, if you plan on flipping it and you don't sell it, then you are stuck with it and the same quagmire - what are you going to do with it and how are you going to brand it.

Looking at the list of sales above, 3x is (of course) already branded as xxx, C5 is a major transport plane of the Air Force (nice name - my brother was a C5 pilot) so there is already some inherent branding into some of those names.
