Back in 2007, I got laid off from my job, and the following year I launched typeracer.com - the first online multiplayer typing game, which became an instant sensation on the web (it's been mentioned on HN several times over the years).
Over time, TypeRacer grew into a pretty good lifestyle business for me and I haven't had a "real" job in the past 10 years. Now I have an offer from another entrepreneur to sell the site. The offer is in the low six-figures, and while tempting, I was hoping for more.
I wanted to reach out to the HN community before I make a decision to sell. I've never sold a business before, and I could really use some feedback.
My site stats are as follows:
* Registered users: 1,922,104 (the game doesn't require an account to play, so the real numbers are much higher)
* Game plays: 94,912,406 total (~250,000/day)
* Google Analytics (last 12 months): 13,618,464 sessions (avg. session duration: 09:27), from 6,515,980 users
* Revenue: ~$85,000/year from AdSense + another $10,000 from premium account subscriptions and schools
What do you guys think is a fair price to sell this website?
