Can someone please take a break from worrying about Bitcoin and help a brother out?

try to milk him for as much money as possible. start high when making the deal. take money and funnel it into another website. you already know all your keywords and what seo worked for the website so just buy a shitload of content and out rank your original/competitors website.

learn to negotiate (poker is really good for this)

Starting high is a given, what I'm after is figuring out what to settle for when he inevitably starts low.

Nah, I'm leaving fantasy sports after this, if the sale goes through. I'm tired of doing customer service for entitled teenagers.

What's X? What I've read ranges from 10 months to 5 years.

>when he starts low

i can't tell you what X is. i dont know your business. also, remember, you have taxes to pay when you sell the business.

This I always try to do when I take freelance jobs etc.

I guess I'll prepare the best I can, shine a good light on my business and ask him what he thinks it's worth before proceeding with the negotiation.

Do not, under any circumstances, sell a company for anything less than 6 figures.
I can't even fathom putting in so much work into starting a business only to sell it off for for such a measly price

Been through this a couple times. Best I can say is play close to your vest. Never let them see your customer list until they've paid for it, once you set on the price get it in writing, only agree to a year or less non-compete, and get as much as you can.

Are you illiterate? Who said anything about HTML?

Thanks bro. The customer list holds much more value than the site code itself, that's the last thing they'll after everything is signed and sealed.

Will do, thanks.

Yeah I wonder about this too...

I used to work for a payroll company selling payroll services. I have a call list of about 500 companies. The list includes contact names, info, company size, notes on the company, revenues, etc..

I'd like to sell it, but specifically signed an NDA and noncompete. Will I get fucked if I try to anonymously sell this list to a competitor? How much could I get for it?

>anonymously

You can send them the data anonymously, but there is no reliable way to get paid anonymously unless you plan to make a cash exchange.

Sounds like a risky proposition, this is certainly considered theft or even industrial espionage.

Abort mission unless you have a fool-proof plan.

I gotta add - I've worked on a few large scale web development projects where I had access to data worth 6 or 7 figures. I've had some less than honest thoughts but it's virtually impossible to sell it to someone AND not get caught AND get paid well.
