I would try an auction, and have a minimum price that is acceptable.

Yetter Actually I have been in a similar situation and had to rely on family due to an accident that left me unable to work for a long period of time. Times were hard no doubt about it no money, no job nothing. But slowly found a way to survive temporarily with very little. I ended up going back to school which was the best thing for me. It’s where I met my husband and the rest is history. No matter what you have to do to get back on your feet do not sell your minerals. If something happens again to you after you sell your options are gone.
The oil companies are going to get to your area and no area is blacklisted. The oil companies are making billions off mineral owners oil. They are going to get every drop until it is gone. It is estimated that in 2012 537 new wells are going into the Bakken. Eventually every section in western North Dakota will have at least one well.
Just hold on longer and it will pay off hugely. At least another year. But if you are going to sell I would be interested and you can send me a message with the info. Which county are you in?
