    I have a few buyers for my Google Chrome extension with 100k users, but no idea what would be a fair price for it.

    Any ideas?

    The bid was $5000. I still don't know what number should I go for. As far as I know this might be 1/3 of its value.

    I'm a developer, no idea about valuations or business side of things. Just give me a number so I won't get ripped off :)

    A lot depends on how the extension can be monetised.
    Is advertising possible?
    Is co-promotion possible?

    Because I don't know what your extension does I'll just wade through the ones I have installed:
    • ColorZilla - a small promo could be added to the bottom of the colour picker and the gradient generator goes to a webpage so lots of opportunity there
    • OneTab - generates a page so advertising could be added to that
    • Pendule - advertising could be added to the command window
    • Pin It Button - advertising could be added to the overlay
    • Save to Pocket - advertising could be added to the confirmation/tags box when a page is saved
    • Silver Bird - embed ads in the feed? or just in the display frame?
    • Streak CRM for Gmail - this is a product in itself so they probably wouldn't monetise the extension further
    • Tampermonkey - lots of opportunities to monetise
    • TinEye Reverse Image Search - difficult to monetise the extension.
    then there's the other way of looking at it... those 100k users, how often do they actually use it?
    • ColorZilla - practically never
    • OneTab - once a week
    • Pendule - practically never
    • Pin It Button - practically never
    • Save to Pocket - a couple of times a week
    • Silver Bird - when I'm super bored, I'm not a big twitter user
    • Streak CRM for Gmail - daily
    • Tampermonkey - hardly ever, and then it'll be a lot while I'm getting something specific done
    • TinEye Reverse Image Search - a couple of times a week
    how does your compare?

    I thinks you are referring to the perceived value, which a good starting point to monetize an APP. Is this app solving urgent and painful problem, then the answer shound be Yes.
    Maybe if you explain what does your app is doing ?

    Perceived value is the same as market value - what someone will actually pay to buy a thing, or what you will turn down to retain a thing.

    A gimmicky extension that has lots of installs but is never used has no value because it can't be used to drive traffic.
