I claimed entrepreneurs relief when I sold Dangerous.com a couple year ago now, as on a few other domains, but really not sure if that can be applied since transferring over to Limited Company.. I have an accountant, I guess I have not seriously actually considered offers as I perceived them to be low.

The thing is I am convinced there is a business model in this which is perhaps what is subconsciously sabotaging negotiations.

On one hand its a good revenue stream, but on the other hand the money could help fund our new life in Germany.

I have a 3 letter .co.uk out on lease for £25k a year I turned down a £100k cash offer on that domain in favour of 4 year lease contract. All which totally surprised me, but I honestly think since becoming a father your business sense changes considerably. I stand by that it was the best decision at the time and the monthly income is better than the lump sum... perhaps I should look at a lease option for the other site.

Thanks for the PMs, sorry could not reply to all but I will be taking up some of those suggestions and of course drop some commission to those who suggested avenues to explore if they pan out. Truly appreciated.

I enjoy working on it despite it taken up a good chunk of my day.. I guess I could sell out for less I have had plenty of firm £150k offers (5 this year) which would normally tell me that this is the market price. However I know and they know what is around the corner so it was a great investment, returning over 2000% over cost so far and one agency today just booked a 6 month... I think even were I to get 250k it would be a reluctant sale at that.

Shall mull it over some more I think.. thanks for all comments.. appreciated and noted.
Sounds like sellers remorse before you've even sold it. Your gut is telling you 250k is too cheap.
