Search Results for ‘website auction’
I just read a thread on DigitalPoint, where some users point out, that some guy that has been bidding up his own auctions using multiply user accounts. Numerous other users has ended up paying more for websites than what they probably had sold for.
It is a shame that such things go on, but it will probably always be like that, and it is really hard to catch such cheaters in time. So it is an obvious example of buyers to consider what they want to pay for given website, and stick to that. Don’t think that you’re missing out on something because there is several other bidders competing. Do your own valuation and do only buy for less than the value you conclude.
If you want to buy sites on auction and if you want the bidding to be real, then it is just because you want to make steal and buy it too cheap. Nothing wrong with that, but then you’d have to expect some people to try and drive up the bidding.

There is a really nice blog / website for sale at SitePoint - it is Unmatched Style, which I personally visit once in a while, and a site that some of you probably have visited.
The seller reports that there is around 9,000 daily uniques doing 25,000 pageviews a day. He also tells that the site has a revenue of $500-$900 a month through YPN and Amazon, with most of the revenue coming from YPN.
It is on auction - currently without a BIN - with a starting bid of $3,500. The bidding is already on the roll and as I’m writing this the current high bid is $4,000.
I think that the ads could get much more relavant with adsense, but I don’t know if replacing YPN with adsense would result in a higher revenue. The CTR with adsense would have to make up for the probably less paying ads compared to the current YPN ads. I guess it is worth trying.
This is absolutely an interesting site that I think you should check out if you’re into web design.

There is a tabs website (guitar, bass and drums) for sale at DigitalPoint (and NamePros). The website is hottesttabs.com and it should be receiving 5500+ uniques a day, according to seller.
There are stats and revenue screenshots in the thread, and it all seems pretty good. And I believe there is potential for improving the Adsense revenue from the website.
The bidding starts at $2600 and there is a $6000 BIN. I’m not sure it is worth $6000 since that is around two years of revenue. But of course there is the chance of buying it for less since it is an auction.
But potential buyers should be aware of potential legal issues. I’m not sure that there are any, but I recall some previous cases about lyrics and tabs websites.

I just spotted a webmaster & domain name forum for sale at NamePros. The forum itself seems pretty dead, but according to the statistics provided by the seller, there is a decent amount of traffic.
The forum is RealDN and it has a pagerank 4. In this month there has been around 13,000 uniques who did ~54,000 pageviews.
The seller wants the bidding to start of at $500, but he has a reserve, and mentions that the right offer will buy immediately. The auction will be for 7 days and seller will post a BIN in a couple of days.
This forum could be a good start to create a community, but remember that there is plenty of webmaster and domain forums already.
There are two things to notice. 1. Theres was a huge drop in traffic in November and December according to the stats. 2. There is a lot of links in the bottom, so the link popularity might be obtained through such link exchanges.

The webshop CornerHobbyShop.com is for sale at SitePoint. It is an e-commerce website selling RC Cars - all delivered through a dropshipper.
This is what the seller tells about the traffic: “Traffic is generated through a combination of PPC ads, natural search engine listings and froogle. The site lists better on Yahoo & MSN then Google, currently.”
According to seller there has in average been a monthly revenue of $4180 in October, November and December. But the revenue for December was $7753 with a $2013 net profit.
The webshop is on auction with a starting bid of $5000 and a BIN of $25000.
The sellers comment about what is included: “You are also buying customer list, vendor information, our promise not to compete, and our advertising campaigns. Overture account can be transferred. Adwords, pricegrabber and froogle we will provide you with all keywords/ feeds to continue doing what we are doing.”

A new website just went for sale at Sitepoint. It is DropWatch.com which is a service that provides real time stats for expiring domains information for estimating traffic on expired domains.
The website had a revenue of $4193.21 in december 2005, but it is this far the highest revenue obtained. According to the revenue details provided by the seller, there has been a steady increase since january 2005 (the stats don’t go further back). The revenue is generated through member subscriptions, and is based on a monthly fee, so there is a good reason to believe that the revenue will increase further.
The auction starts at $140,000 which is too much, and the BIN is $233,500 which I think is absolutely unreasonable. Imagine what you could build with that much money… But who knows, he might be open for lower offers. Anyway there is definitely a good market for expiring domains, so if this website gets marketed well, there will probably be a very good pay off.
