This is my second attempt to sell this site because the last person who "bought" it didn't make payment.

To check out the site click here

The site is a script and application store with unique products programmed by us. We never gave out any resale rights or the source code to any of our applications to keep them unique and to make sure there are never any licensing issues.

In total there are 8 unique PHP Scripts and 9 unique Flash Applications. If I say unique, I mean that some applications are not available in its form anywhere on the web. What's not included is the Shoutcast Radio Player because due to a hardware crash we lost the source code for it and it took 2 years to develop, but it only sold twice so it's not a bad factor.

As for income and traffic stats, I have posted detailed sales logs (click the link to download the zip). I have removed all unrelated items (other sales I made) and a few refunds.

I made a small mistake when compiling the stats at Paypal because I selected ranged from 1st to 1st so if there is a 1st in the first like, simply reduce the income by that number. (only happend in july/august)

Sales stats
May 1143,42 US$
June: 803 US$
July: 701 US$ (-49 see error note above)
August: 1454,35 (-29 see error note above)
September: 542,00 USD
October: 664,77 USD
November 1st - 15th: 1149,29 USD

Please note that more money was received due to promotions and special deals but I excluded them from the sales as I also accepted credit cards and other forms of payment which I cannot take a screenshot of, so let's just ignore such sales. Custom software development was also ignored in the sales logs cause it would be unfair to count it in case you are interested, but cannot offer development for some reason.

Traffic Stats
Source of traffic is mostly Hotscripts and other script sites but also forums like namepros and others we post our products to. You can find a referrer log, traffic overview and top search strings in the zip file above.

What you are buying
You are buying an established script & flash application web site including the full rights on all the scripts and applications listed (except radio player). That's a total of 17 products which are ready to sell. The sale also includes the domain name of course. You basically get everything what you can see on the site (again, except the radio player).

None of the products were sold to resellers, meaning you will not find any of our scripts available elsewhere.

Reason for selling
We are currently running quiet a few high traffic sites which require my daily attention and due to a another very large project I am simply tired to come home and deal with support and script sales, which is why this is up for sale. Simply put, it's not worth the money for me to deal with this every single day when I can make more with other projects.

Important
Our products are protected from piracy (flash products) as we hardcode the buyer domain into the applications. That said, you will need to have minimal Flash knowledge to change two lines within the actionscript (changing the licensed domain name). It's like notepad, but you need Flash 8 to do such changes. People also ask for support sometimes so make sure you have that extra 15 minutes per day available.

Price: I am looking for offers starting at 8000 US$


Make sure to download the zip file above for full stats, search stats, traffic stats, referrals, sales logs.

Domain is registered with Enom (free push), I cannot really add a ending date as it's not really an auction. I will consider all offers starting at 8000 $. First come first serve.

Contact me by PM if interested

Thanks for your attention

I reserve the right to use any of the scripts / flash applications on my own web site(s), but we will not sell or give away any of the products. Had to add this notice, as I use the products myself on some of our sites so I don't want to end up paying for a license :)

How much time do you spend daily on maintaining the site?

Thanks!

We spent about 15-30 minutes to deal with support queries and to deliver purchased products to clients and about 30 minutes per week to promote updates / special deals / new products in various forums such as Namepros.

Since we also accepted custom programming jobs like changing our products to add additional features it added up, but you don't have to do that (if you do, you make much more money of course). We charge 50$ per hour for custom programming. Please note that all sales stats exclude custom jobs because we want to make sure the new owner doesn't expect extra money we made offering custom coding.

However, if you are a developer and know Flash we highly recommend to continue offering this because the extra income is really something to look out for. Many times clients come back and ask if we can also customize things which results in more income than you make selling the default set of products.

I received a few PM's so I'm answering some questions here:

1.) How about new scripts / upgrades etc
If you are not a PHP / Flash developer you still can add new products by simply buying some applications from people who sell exclusive rights. You could also hire a coder to code some new unique applications.

2.) Where did you buy your applications
We didn't buy them at all - They were all developed by us and cannot be found / are not sold by anyone else.

3.) Will you accept xxxx (lower than 8500)
We will consider bids starting at 8000 US$. I will update the original post to reflect this as we have received many 7xxx bids but are really looking for 8000 min. If you would have to purchase 17 products with full rights to it you would pay more than that just for the applications.

4.) Can I hire you to create new products?
The reason I am selling is to enjoy more free time. That said, I am not available for creating new products - sorry.

I will update this list if new questions come in and refer back to this topic as I did now.

Received a few more questions - replying below:

1.) Does it come with the store script included?
Yes, everything you see on the site is included of course.

2.) What are the hosting requirements?
We host the site at Hostgator (9,99/month plan)

3.) Will this be sold only once?
The site will only be sold once of course. I am not selling a "pack of scripts" with a frontend - I am selling a business. What you do with the site after you bought it is your thing. I don't mind if you want a quick return by selling some exclusive rights to the apps or allow resale rights etc. That's your business - not mine.

I don't recommend this tho, as you will make more money with exclusive sales instead of flooding the market for a quick buck. The sales price is very low (8K) compared to what others charge (up to 12-16 times monthly income) so your investment would be returned back fast enough.

Remember: Many applications are only available at our site which makes our products very unique.

If anyone has additional questions, feel free to PM me or post them here.
