Should I sell?

[X_GuardiaN_X]

I have an offer of about $100 for lol.im, which was near the cost to register. Some people have been telling me I shouldn't even register it in the first place, so do you think I should take my money and stay even. Or could I possibly get a better offer?

Try to sell him for a bit more, 120-150$ and then you have some profit..

It may be difficult to sell for more than $150.
You may want to keep it and develop but ask yourself if you will be able to recoup the renewal fee year after year (£40.00/y).

Also make sure you understand the transfer rules and are aware of any possible fees. It looks like it is very easy to push a .im, easier than .co.uk and with no paperwork.

From the FAQ:

How do I transfer ownership of my domain? This process involves several steps: Step 1 The person/company you wish to transfer your domain name to needs to register by clicking on the “Register” link on the http://www.nic.im home page. Step 2a Unlock your domain name by following steps 2b - 2e. Step 2b Log into the site via the “login” link on the home page, following the “My Account” link on the home page and selecting the “Manage Domains” link. You will see a list of domain names that you have registered under your user account. If you have many domain names registered, use the search feature on this page to identify the domain name you wish to unlock. Step 2c Check if the domain is locked or unlocked. Locked domains can be identified by the locked padlock symbol to the left of the domain name. Step 2d If the domain is locked, click on the domain name next to the padlock symbol, which will take you to a page displaying domain name details. Step 2e Click on the “Unlock Domain” link to unlock the domain. Page 4 of 7
