My site is new and small, but has promise and I love it.

They are planning on buying the biggest site in my niche (my biggest competitor), and they asked me for my opinion on the site and my advice.

Would you help them, or no? Or would you ask for money to help them?
On the one hand, whether you help them or not, they're going to do it anyways. So it might be good to get in on their good side.
On the other hand do you really want to help create a 500lb Gorilla in your niche that competes with you?

as a zinger, they also made a comment that they don't think my site will ever make money because I got in too late. I was kind of pissed about that comment.
