With the list being a mix of consumers and webmasters, frankly I'm not sure what would be a good use for the list. And if the subscribers haven't agreed to allow their addresses to be sold to others who'll also be sending them email, that's another problem to deal with (for instance, does the email collection site have a Privacy Statement and what have the subscribers been promised in that statement). Just email addresses alone don't have much value today.

Regarding your new question about a list of 10,000 addresses, the same questions apply and the value would be based on all of the things I mentioned in my first post (and some other things). The age of the addresses have to be figured in, along with what the list has been used for in the past, what sales figures (if any) can be directly tracked to mailings done to the list, the permissions the email addresses owners have given and whether those permissions are transferrable, etc.

Basically the addresses could be worth anything from $0.001/each (or even much less) to well into the hundreds of dollars per address. But most lists with that kind of higher value are rarely offered for sale. In general, unless the list is worth a lot to you, based on the sales it directly generates for you, don't expect it to be worth much to anyone else.
