Would you buy this website?

February 21st, 2006

There is an “amazing” deal at DigitalPoint. Someone is selling a website with 4000+ daily uniques and a $10 - $20 daily revenue. It is for sale for just with a BIN at $200 or best offer. That is less than 20 days of revenue, so I think that there has to be a catch, or is this guy just desperate to get $200..?

“When something sounds to good to be true, it probably is”, but I can’t find the exact thing. I have some quick thoughts of potential risks, but I can’t tell for sure.

The risks that came to my mind was:

  • Framing other websites isn’t always accepted, and there could be legal threats.
  • There could be legal issues with BitTorrent search engines. Even though it “just” uses other search engines.

So would you consider buying such a website, maybe even that one?

Update: It seems like he has just edited the thread, and the BIN is now $300.

    I would stay away from this deal. There are no ads on the site that I can see, which tells me the $10 - $20 is a lie.

    It seems like the sale is getting ripped apart at the DigitalPoint forum. Apparently there is a lot of things that isn’t as they should be. Just go and take a look at the thread.
