So what would be a good offer? If they just run it for another two, three years without spending time on it and then close it down they'd probably make about 600,000$. So the offer should be minimum 500,000$, including perhaps some ongoing traffic/links from them?

If you can't come up with a good offer from the numbers they gave you, you're probably not their target market.

That's not bad. If that was the case ($200k/yr profit for three years), the worth would be about $550,000 depending on what you think inflation is. Here's a primer article for you on calculating things like this: http://wiki.fool.com/Net_present_value http://wiki.fool.com/Net_present_value However, the market value of the domain plus links plus announcement/traffic from 37signals for the relaunch make it worth much more than that. The price in cash ought to be equivalent to selling a modestly successful startup right now. I don't know what would be appropriate and would welcome additional thoughts from the community. P.S. The other reply to your post is really lame. Thanks for starting this discussion.
