It doesn't seem like a popular word at this point so I don't see an easy path to making that much with ads, and I'd say $5k is a good offer, but there's no way of knowing the future other than waiting. A more pessimistic possibility is that you might make very little through ads, and never again get an offer that high.

On the other hand, if you sold it for $5k now, you might buy quite a few more expiring domains, and sell those for still more money. Again, there's no certain answer, you just need to take your best guess.
Ultimately it comes down to if you believe that the domain is worth less or more than 5k.

from my point of view it worth more because if i bought http://www.this---is--a--shitty-doma...-galleries.com and put up galleries and submitted them i could make more money.

I was thinking that i could use the domain as leverage when i need to borrow money from a bank, offering the free front page access if they gave me a point /point and half on a secured loan.

Sure they lose a profit margin (spread between bank interest and loan interest) but it not really money to them because they know i will shop the offer to somone else.

1% on a 100k loan (secured) is 1 k per year assuming bank interest of 5% that a net present value of 20k.
