hi

Im interested in purchasing this website. Ive seem a screenshot of the stats and it looks quite good.

Im willing to pay £375 GBP for this complete site, domain, forum and anything else it has.

private message me if you like the offer. thnx

Python

£375?

Well although it sounds very nice Im sorry but this site isnt for sale.

Sorry

daboss

Python, you're a true netpreneur....

SEbasic

375!

You can do better than that bDeal

It's taken months to get the site this far.

daboss

SEBasic,

Just for interest's sake, what do you think this site is worth???? :roll:

tntcheats

100 million GBP! [/dr. evil]

SEbasic

I'm not too sure really.

I'll think about it. But if I were Python, I wouldn't dream of selling it for anywhere less that £2000.

All the time he has spent working on the forum, all the repeat visits by us guys..

If it were a crap site I wouldn't be here.

Python

£2000 for this site. Wooohooo

I think i might sell up now, joke

But Im not planning on selling this site, and I never plan to. Id like this site to grow as much as possible under my ownership

daboss

Is 2000 quid a fair price? I'm only asking because I'm a newbie and would like to get some bearings in this topic.

Python

I havent got a clue about website price. I guess this site would be pretty pricy considering the nice amounts of traffic its getting

SEbasic

I would say it is fair.

The revenue that could be generated as a result of the site (Especially once it's a PR6/7 if it happens)

To be honest, I'm not the right man to talk to about website costs. I'm just giving my opinion on what this site may be worth, based on experiences I have had in terms of generating revenue from a site...

Certianly I wouldn't sell this site for less than 2000

I know another forum which is about to be sold and is asking significanlty more. That site has a slightly higher PR, but lacks members and continuancy in the forums...

Just my $0.02

Python

SEbasic, do you mean £2000 GBP or $2000 USD?

Because GBP is worth more...

SEbasic

£2000 - I realise that £ is worth more.

Python

ahh right ok.

I know this is hard to judge...almost impossible actually but...

How many members do you think this forum will have within 12 months from now?
What do you think the overall site value will be in 12 months from now?

daboss

Heh heh, Python's getting excited...

From a financial perspective (I've no experience in trading websites), it's common to have stocks trading at a P/E of 15. However, stocks trading on an exchange would definitely trade higher than a website since they would have passed the listing criteria of the exchange (i.e. sustainable earnings, etc).

However, I would think the same principles would apply in this case - albeit at a discount - so let's say P/E of 10. However much you site would sell for is 10 times your site's yearly earnings.

How much is this site making then? Of course, one can argue about potential and all that (since this website is probably still in it's infancy in it's lifecycle), but then again....

:idea:

Regards.

Python

Well im not going to say how much the site is making...One sec Ill go and do some maths...lol

tntcheats

Often for sites people like to sell for 10x the monthly income + what it'll take to make another website that generates that amount of money.

ezdee

i think this site could be worth quite a bit. well over £2000 if you ask me. i just read a post that you just changed to vbulletin.
that will add a fair bit of value.

i would say this site could be sold for about £3200, £3500 limit

Python

£3200? i doubt its worth that much. I mean yeah ok this site might be worth a bit but thats way more than what i think its worth

and yeah I recently did switch to vbulletin and i agree - it probably would add value if the licence was included plys vbulletin is better anyway

distantfx

I disagree. I read another post saying that this site recently has been getting 800+ daily uniques. If thats the case then this site along with the forum and all content would be valued at about £4000. I personally wouldnt sell for less.

Python

ok ok stop teasing me with these big numbers, lol

tony

ill give you the contents of my pocket minus my credit card :P which is £18 my provisional half a packet of chewing gum and ill throw in an apple aswel for good measure

Python

lol, deal

tony

if you look anything like me you have ID that can get you in clubs now :P

if you dont then bouncers are stupid anyway so probably wont notice

Python

id? whats this got to do with the topic? im confused

CannonBallGuy

He just bought your site with his ID... :P lol

tony

my provisional is ID
thats part of the joke anyway what was said is iron clad im taking it to my solicitors :P

david_sakh

375 pounds? Are you joking.

What exactly do you mean? Do you think he's mad to offer that?

Python

ye. was that a 'get a grip this site is worth £10' or 'hell i wouldnt settle for less than £1500'?
