My wife and I "own" a not-for-profit no-revenue hobby-oriented low-traffic just-for-fun website that receives only 4,000 hits per year. I received an e-mail from a company that says they have an interest in buying it or "monetizing" it if I don't wish to sell it.

I've not contacted them, as I'm not sure what to think. Might just be junk e-mail sent to a thousand website owners.

Does anyone have advice to offer? Thank you.

My advice? Money can't buy happiness. It can however buy stuff that makes you happy. :)
Another advice. take everything I say with a grain of salt. LOL

I run a hobbyist website, too, and I was contacted by the owner of a related website looking to buy mine. I ignored the message, because I'm not a huge fan of how he runs his site, and for all I know his plan might have been to shut it down to reduce competition. It maybe legit, it may be a scam, but if you're happy running it I wouldn't let go.

Good points about the URL, however the site has host name "webs.com" in the URL and costs us nothing. I'll continue to mull it over.

The company that sent the e-mail has a onerous one-page website that serves no function other than a place marker.
