I wouldn't buy a hyphenated domain at any price. That said, $5k is not a lot of money. If you've got the cash and you want it, just buy it and move on with you

I wouldn't buy a hyphenated domain at any price. That said, $5k is not a lot of money. If you've got the cash and you want it, just buy it and move on with your life. If its not worth $5k to you just move on - its not going to make or break your business.
