Someone through Godaddy's domain broker service offered to buy my business's domain and I am indecisive on if I should consider it.
Their initial offer was only for $1000, and I told them they would need to pay a lot more than that as I use this domain for my business.
They said the buyer is very interested even if the price is a lot higher.
I wouldn't be willing to change my business name, but I could just buy a variation of my business name domain and continue using the same business name.
But I have issues I am worried about.
What will happen to my current SEO?
What if the buyer is in the same industry as me? Trademark issues?
What about my existing customers looking for my website?
I am not sure if it is worth considering even for like $40,000 given the potential issues, even though $40,000 would be great right now.
My business will do about $150,000 in sales this year.
Anybody ever been in a situation like this?
