I decided not to monetize it for other reasons.
If it's the latter you might find they buy it and replace your content with a bunch of links to porn web sites. You'd want to be ok with that before you sold it.
Apparently the buyer expects the value of your site to be >$50K for them. Question is, what's it worth to you?
Obviously a model can only tell you as much as it can accurately predict and you’ll probably want to generate some best case/worst case scenarios but then you’ll at least have a set of numbers to work from and know whether the offer is high or low compared to what you could make.
$50K is likely a guesstimated amount, not based on some kind of calculations. It's basically "looks like it might be valuable, so let's give him some figure big enough for an independent developer but not too much".
Personally, I would haggle a bit (say, try to raise it $80K, then meet around $60K-$70K) and sell. Do not underestimate the uncertainty and the amount of money that needs to be poured to monetise the business. If it's coming from a small company or a person, they are more flexible.
