umm ... The purchaser has made the deal seem very much like a standard-fair offer and has (without saying so) implied that they make an offer and that is it - they don't go back and forth on it. Truthfully I believe we would accept the current offer but it'd be a begrudging acceptance and I think it would leave a bad taste in the founders mouth. ... that's nonsense they are just strong-arming you. Like cperciva - there is not way you don't guarantee the money. Besides we're about to begin a golden period of irrational greed. Why sell now. Wait a year or two for Facebook and other IPOs. You've done the hard part and are profitable. All you have to do is hang on till next bubble and make 10 times what you're being offered now - at least half of it in cash. Seriously, stop being desperate
