i haven't yet gone to college and this is my full time job so i want to make sure i do the right thing before heading to school...i could always build up one of my smaller sites after the sale but it would be a slow process and visitors may not like it as much as the main one id be selling...

thoughts?? its a mainsteam site with a steady reader base and daily fresh traffic that combined comes out to about 10k uniques a day on avg (give or take of course)
Take $60 up front or FUCK THAT!!!

And I would ask for $80k.

You want to sell it so you can blow your money.
"OH WOW, 15k in my hand all at once. No more waiting for only 3k at a time."

Bullshit. Start living cheap and use the website money for school.
