Gaming Website For Sale Hello everyone. Today I bring you a very special opportunity to acquire an up and coming website for the upcoming game, Grand Theft Auto IV. Grand Theft Auto IV Live is a fansite for this upcoming game that I purchased from these forums a few months ago. Since that time, I have re-vamped the website, improving it in basically every category. I have added a new theme, have increased the revenue and traffic in great numbers, and have re-done the content pages. It has been a great asset for me during these past few months. With that in mind, the reason I am selling this is due to lack of time and interest. This site has a lot of potential, but my resources aren't the greatest in the world, so I can't optimize it to its full potential. While this sale thread is quite long, I have described virtually everything I feel is vital to a successful sale so that many questions will not need to be asked. Contents With the purchase of this, you will receive the following: GTA4LIVE.COM (Namecheap) GTABOARDS.NET (Namecheap) GTAFIVE.COM (Namecheap) All Content On GTA4LIVE.COM The Theme On GTA4LIVE.COM IPB 2.0.0 Database Of GTABOARDS.NET (approx. 300 members, 7k posts, was hacked twice so most of the posts were deleted) Detailed Guide That Will Explain How To Market Site, Manage Site, Et Cetera Traffic Proof of traffic statistics are provided below. If you require any additional information, feel free to ask for it. Monthly History (Note, we switched servers in the month of April, so the stats of April are really higher than they appear to be): http://sales.rsinsomniac.com/gta4live/monthly_history.jpg Referrals: http://sales.rsinsomniac.com/gta4live/referrals.jpg Revenue Proof of revenue statistics are provided below. I use Bidvertiser due to me not wanting to give out my SSN number. The revenue would most likely be bigger with a company such as Google, but this is the best that I can work with at the moment. Revenue (Assume One Month): http://sales.rsinsomniac.com/gta4live/revenue.jpg Rankings Rankings, Alexa and Google, are listed below. These are as accurate as can be to my knowledge. GTA4LIVE.COM ( Alexa: 1,629,819 | Google: 3 ) GTABOARDS.NET ( Alexa: 572,150 | Google: 5 ) GTAFIVE.COM ( Alexa: N/A | Google: 0 ) Sale Information Sale Type: Auction Sale End: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 at 10PM EST Start Bid: $50 Reserve: Yes Reserve Price: N/A (Will Be Listed Later) BIN: Yes BIN Price: $300 (Is Subject To Change) Minimum BID Increment: $5 Final Notes *GTA4LIVE.COM is currently in the process of being transferred over from GoDaddy to Namecheap and by the end of this sale, if it hasn't finished already, the domain should be transferred over. *Buyer will be responsible for transferring all site files to their new host.

Thanks for the bid mate. Just wanted to note two more things: 1. Around a week ago, I got a $35 offer for the domain GTAFIVE.COM 2. I'd be willing to stay on staff as a news poster for no fee if additional help is necessary. There is currently one additional staff member, though I haven't heard from him in about two weeks.
New Bin: $200 I'll even throw in the website http://extendedclip.com and a non-sliced PSD web template with the BIN.
