Website for Sale: DropWatch.com, $4193.21 december revenue
January 15th, 2006
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.

Over at Dnforum the seller says that he wont sell for less than $140,000 (3 years revenue).
He prefers to pay someone to maintain it rather than selling for less. So I think it might not get sold, since there is better / safer buys that could be made with that kind of money. E.g. buy My.IS.
Not said that you can’t earn your money back, but it will take much time an effort. Which I believe could give a better pay off with other websites.
