I almost didn’t notice that stylegala.com is up for sale at SitePoint. It’s a highly popular web design community with lots of traffic. In the sales thread it says that there is about 4,200,000 monthly pageviews from 900,000 visits.There is of course also revenue which is about $2500 a month.
Well, it’s a very interesting website and there is too much about it for me to write about here. So check out the sales thread. Remember that such a site will take a lot of maintenance.
There has also been some buzz about this on various blogs.
It’s on auction with a starting bid of $30,000 which has already been made, also a $36,000 has been made. But that’s still a steal since the website is worth a lot more.

There is a very well populated forum at the PSP site with almost 60.000 members. The sites are large and a little bit hard to get a full understand of within short time, so I won’t go into further details. But if you’re interested in that kind of websites I think you should check it out.
This is what the seller says about the auction:

There is a guitar forum called Guitars101.com currently for sale at SitePoint. It looks like a good website with plenty of activity. And the stats for the forum seems very good too with almost 30,000 threads containing about 350,000 posts. And there is 20,005 registered members.
The site is making $400-500 a month through adsense according to seller. That should be possible increase I think.
The site is for sale with a starting bid of $10,000 and a BIN at $12,000, which compared to the income seems rather high. But it is for sure that there is a lot of potential for this site.
Update: I guess someone saw the potential, since it has just sold for the BIN price.

At Dnforum there is a huge forum for sale. The forum is located at blogring.net and it is a blogging related forum mainly for xanga and myspace. With its almost 100,000 threads containing more than 1,6 million posts it is definitely a huge forum.
The traffic is also there since it gets about 5,000 uniques a day - and the seller says something about 40,000 impressions, but I’m not sure if that is ads he is talking about.
As it is stated in the thread the site is pretty slow due to the forum software that needs to be upgraded etc.
The seller is looking for bids over $9,000 and he currently has a bid at $13,000.

There is a spanish forum - basilando.com for sale at NamePros. It has more than a thousand members and there is 50000+ posts and this is, according to seller, increasing by ~250 posts daily. My spanish is pretty bad, so all I could understand from the site is that it covers various topics 
This month it has had about 100 daily uniques doing more than 2000 pageviews a day. There isn’t much information in the sales thread but the site seems interesting.

According to seller there has been a monthly revenue of about $500 a month on average for the last three months. The revenue was generated through Adsense and by selling ad space.
The traffic varies on a month to month basis, but is approximately 175,000 monthly pageviews by 19,000 to 28,000 uniques.
The seller describes the site as: “CG Underground is an online computer graphics publication. The site offers to the visitors/members: Online Gallery, Tutorials, Industry news, Product Reviews, Interviews with artists around the world, Forums and a Free Profile section, where members may link to website URL, 6 images for portfolio, location, etc….”

The first one is a Hip Hop Forum that is listed for sale at Dnforum and NamePros. The forum stats according to seller are as following: threads: 50,711, posts: 701,104, members: 6,631, which makes it a pretty large forum. The site has a revenue of $400-800 a month coming from Casale, Fastclick and YPN.
It doesn’t seem to get that much traffic, since the seller talks about a potential buyer would make $1,000+ if they bring it up to 2,000+ unqiues a day, so this should be taken into consideration. With a minimum price of $10,000 I think it could be a bit too high, because the site is already cluttered with a lot of advertising. But a forum can be a very good investment if you’re able to grow it.
The second one is a BitTorrent forum, which is for sale at NamePros. According to the stats screenshots provided in the thread it is obvious that the site has a huge amount of traffic. It doesn’t have that many threads or posts, but with 90,000+ registered users I believe that there is reason to call it a large forum. The asking price is $60,000 so it is a sale that needs deeper investigation if you’re a potential buyer.

There is a boy band (breeding 5..?) community for sale at Dnforum. The forum is located at www.breeding5.com and seems pretty active. It has about 15,000 monthly uniques and 150,000 monthly pageviews according to seller. There is currently 260,626 posts and 5,245 members.
Almost every forum category has had activity today, and there a lots of threads in which this activity occurs.
It is on auction with a starting bid at $995, but the seller looks for $2,000+. With a $75 monthly adsense revenue this seems a bit high, but I would judge that the adsense is badly implemented, and that there definitely is opportunities for big improvements. Like implemeting more adsense elements - one in between of posts.
Also the indexing in Google and Yahoo is not much, so with a little bit of SEO and link building I guess that you could increase the traffic. That is, if there are searches in this “niche”.
Only thing I would worry about, is potential issues regarding the domain name. I don’t know if this is a real problem, but I recall there beeing some previous cases about using artist names in domains. Heck, I don’t even know what the exact name of the boy band is…
