Try dnsaleprice.com - it keeps track of auction prices.  For instance, 4 
letter, 1-word .co.uk's sold in the last year shows 20 words or 
almost-words, with decent words from $900-130000 and some other 4-letters 
from $80-900.  Sedo's search tools let you do similar, a 4 or less seatch 
on there shows fixed-price domains available to buy, and also what others 
are up at auction.  It should at least put some hard boundaries on 
your pricing even if it still leaves a wide margin.
