If he is paying you huge cash, then go ahead and accept the offer.

How much did they offer? Details please.

your page has some good traffic: 2.7 million reach in alexa and its traffic is constant. it is not such a surprise someone wants to buy it, even if the page is still new.
in my opinion if they offer you a good price, you should sell it.
a good price should be at least 12 months of potential or actual income, if it is possible sell it for 24 months of equivalent income.

He didn't ask you to get an appraisal did he?

What was his offer ?
Did he ask something else for this sale (as phronesis said before for example) ?

get a feel for how bad he wants it. then put your price up a bit and sell.

If you're afraid it may be a scam, post the email here, so we can have a look at it. If he asked for a paid appraisal, it is definatly a scam.

sell it for good offer

Right...or if this name is Newman, PHD.

Anyways, its a personal thing, and money is NOT everything. If you feel a connection to the name, you don't have to sell
