I see it going like this

he/she/they put $15k down
you still work for them and get paid while receiving the monthly payments for the left over $5-50k
you already basically transferred the domain to him/her/them sp it's in their name.
they will skip town and now you will no longer have that site to sell to a REAL buyer who's willing to pay the full price upfront.

Ya, I skipped a lot, but that's just what I see happening without going into to many details. I wouldn't sell.
I meant $45-50k

you're going to get fucked. agreements are only worth your ability to use attorneys to enforce it. ... don't listen to people saying "oh... you just need a good agreement" etc. its all bullshit. remember there is a significant cost to enforcing agreements.

I could give you an honest answer, but I would need to know your NET

Your gross really doesnt do much for me
$15K down may be more than you made NET the last two years...you never know

Like the majority said already... Also keep in mind, he came to YOU, you didn't go to him, so don't settle on HIS rules.. make your own rules and tell him it's that or nothing.

TimBlaze 04-23-2009 09:05 PM
again thank you for all the replies guys it is certainly helping a ton in my reply...and i definitely won't be selling unless he steps it up big time

Keep it, and think about what you can do to reinvest in the site to increase revenue

Ramster 04-23-2009 09:32 PM
ARE YOU INSANE?

He's only paying $15,000 for the site. He's then using YOUR own revenue over the 3 years to pay you the balance. It isn't costing him anything but that $15K. If he was paying you more than waht the site makes monthly that is a different story but he's not.

Don't take that deal.

Hire three and make it into an even bigger site.

I don't even understand why the o.p. was trying to sell the site in the first place. It's his main source of income. Why would you want to give up your main source of income? The site is is making way more money in a year than some random person is offering for it. Why is this even up for debate? College is probably a waste of time anyway, but if you want to, go ahead and knock yourself out. But keep your main source of income! Surely you can work on the site and matriculate for classes, right?

The contract will be worthless if things go wrong. And looking at the world today I think there is a good chance of things going wrong.

if you do want to sell for that. hit me up. icq 166708909

Exactly... Just hire someone to run the shit for you...

Random thought here... is there some sort of domain escrow service that will (subject to terms of a contract) host DNS for a specific period of time? That way if the buyer stuffs the seller around they retain control of the domain... and if the seller stuffs the buyer and doesn't keep up with agreed responsibilities then the buyer takes control... or something. :D Basically an independent third party that holds the key (the zone file) to the site.

I believe Moniker.com provides a long term escrow service.
