domain AtariLynx.com

I have had this since 99 as I was the original owner. I been thinking of selling it.

The site gets about 100 uniques per day and I still sell games from it. However I have an offer of $750 in front of me now.

OVT for "atari lynx" is 553

The site pretty much has all 92 pages indexed at google.

marketleap shows 793 total links

#1 at google, hotbot, lycos, msn and yahoo for "atari lynx"

If you don't know the Atari Lynx was the very first color portable made by Atari. It of course failed against the black and white gameboy mostly due to Tetris.

Should I keep it? Sell it? Or ask for more? With this person I doubt they will pay more. I don't mind keeping it btw. I just have not had time to redo the site. I haven't really touched it for about 5 years. Also no promotion on it.

I would say to take the offer.
I doubt if you will get a better one than this anytime in the near future.

Just my opinion though.

Good luck with it

Agreed accept that offer!
I think it's really good deal!

It's really not greed. I sort of know the domain as-is doesn't have tremendous value. But I guess it's nostalgia as I have owned this one for 6 years now. One of my first domain reg's. I also registered ColecoVision.com too which in a twist of fate I ended up with the trademark. I should post the story about Colecovision.com because you would think that I could lose the name but it turns out that I ended up with the trademark. I ended up selling it for very handsome sum to the current owners.

Thanks for the words on AtariLynx but I think I will keep it and not because of greed. I would like to have a better fansite.

I would accept that offer in a minute as I dont think this name is worth what you received so far, IMHO.

Well I am in the game industry too. At one point I had about 40k worth of LYNX inventory. The lynx has a nice hard core following.

the price is too low IMO for the site.

I still have my Lynx BTW
