Personally if you NEVER plan on developing it then I would sell it – however I would counter the offer with say $200K or even more and work out a deal. I would not sell it for $100K – if this gets sold to a major car insurance company then they can EASILY pay $100K and get a ROI extremely quickly. Make them pay for it!
I WISH I will someday get an offer like that!

Curious of your opinion following the near 50 million sale of the .com version, that being said the only way I see you getting your max value is by adding value to the site, why not explore a jv with a proven lead gen group, creating a win-win scenario is not a bad way to increase your revenue at the present stage and increase your potential exit down the road?

$100k isn’t in the ballpark for that carinsurance.anything.

Little late on this post, but I’d definitely develop. You made the wise choice. Insurance companies are loaded and you will get bought out for millions soon enough.
Now you just have to make sure it’s the best insurance quote site out there to protect your investment – SEO SEO SEO!

Personally, I would develop it at this point. However, I would have sold for $370,000.

I rejected a $118,000 offer at Sedo for a .net … I still

believe I will get 2X or 3X more in the future.

Actually the offer got as high as $370,000. While it may be a great price for a .net, that many would have taken, I turned it down. I feel that long term, the potential is much greater than what I was offered. I do feel blessed that I have the option to turn it down, where many people would not have.
