Asking $1200 but I will consider ALL OFFERS. -->Price DROP! $750 BIN


The front end is really just a custom template with no functionality. I never took the time to integrate it into a CMS. The login does work though from the front page.

The members in the forums are all legit. None are paid-to-post members. Also I delete any inactive accounts so all email addresses were confirmed.

The site uses phpbb but it's HEAVILY modified. I can't even list all the features there are so many.

caveat: I have integrated the forums database onto another site using VB. It is the only copy I will ever use. Currently the forums are locked from posting while I did this.

Some BIG pluses:

Traffic is very steady and you can see that in webalizer.

Revenue is minimal at the moment with about $5 a month average. It's up to you to monetize this better. I don't use popup ads or YPN on the site. I have monetized sites like this by selling subscriptions and points (i.e. pspforums.com where I have 300+ paid subscribers). The hacks are already in place to do this. I just never got around to caring.

The site is #1 in google for the term "nintendo ds forums" (even with quotes) out of 29,400,000. That's a lot of competition to be #1 for.

The skin is 100% custom made by me. Love it or hate it...it's custom.

Why was traffic much higher in May and June and then it came back down to the normal traffic level? How many posts per day, registrations per day, and members online each day?

 

[labrocca]

I believe May/June was when the new DS Lite came out. I didn't do any advertising.

They take a minute to load and ignore the errors. Those are permissions problems I haven't bothered to fix.

[labrocca]

Thank you for the offers but they are a bit too low.

Anyone else?

UPDATE: I had a DNS problem earilier today. If the site was not resolving for you please try now. Let me know though if you do still have an issue.

Price Dropping this to $750. I need a quick sale and to move this asap.

I will also consider reasonable offers.

Well the site is still recieving great traffic despite the forums being locked from posting (new owner is welcome to reopen them).

Also google now shows 27,500 pages indexed. Which means linkvault or coop could do really well with this site.

BIN reduction to $600! There is a lot of work I put into this site...for $600 it's an incredible bargain.

Top offer so far is $300 but I just can't accept that.

So in effect what your saying is that you have another site thats has these posts and members on it? which site? Why continue to lock the forums?

Because I have no need nor desire to continue to run the site...that's why it's for sale. I have many members asking me to reopen it but I won't...the new owner can do that. If it doesn't sell...I will keep it locked and add linkvault code to it. The site makes money for me anyways.

Why not let someone else just reopen the forums and run them for you? Like do a revenue split for someone else running the forum as an admin. Heck, I would do it.
