I'd auction and sell it and be done with the headache personally. It's likely one day your meta well will dry up and that will be it, years of back and forth to see the handle gone and promoting crypto eventually or some crap.

This is what a friend did in the exact same situation. He just moved into the house he built with the dough. Life is weird now.

Many companies forbid the sale of usernames in their terms of service, so an attempt to auction it off could result in it being revoked. Generally, when sales of usernames do happen, it’s in private so there’s little reason to take action… it’s why there’s no reputable marketplace for usernames.

I believe there's a website called ogusers, I can't personally vouch for it, but I've heard from friends that's what they use
