    So, I've wanted to relaunch this and I just don't have the time to do so anymore with the birth of my son.

    FGG has been around for a while, and I've given away a good portion of games and consoles. I've also made a good bit of money off this site when I actively ran it. Given it has sat for the last year and a half just earning income while not touching it, I figure that's a good enough sign to sell it.

    It has no PR. This is due likely because the links that were going to the site have long since removed. The income is also minimal. At one point in time, this site was generating a little over $200/day using various traffic sources and adsense. As I no longer use adsense, I've stuck to using a friend's ad network and CPALead which is where the $50/month is coming in from.

    The site ranks on the first and/or second page for a lot of key terms. Some of those being:

    free giveaway
    free giveaways
    free console games
    free game giveaways
    free consoles
    etc...

    I've set a reserve price for this auction. (It's not very high) I've also set this up to run for 3 days. I've put a lot of money into this site over the years, and I truly am sad to let it go, but it's just time to do so.

    If you don't like the price, don't bid. This site, if properly monetized and taken under someone's wing that has the time for it, could easily generate my asking price for this within a month or 2. The search rankings alone are key terms for this sort of niche.

    Anyway, happy bidding.

    Is this a commercial script or custom?

    I've had a few questions asked:

    1. The reserve is set at $400.
    2. The entire site was built from scratch by me.
    3. Yes, I've given away the games and consoles on the site. This site isn't a scam. If I look I can probably find all the receipts for the items purchased, but I think they're currently sitting in West Virginia while I'm back up in Canada.
    4. Payment, I'd prefer something offline such as Western Union, however, I may take Paypal pending on the buyer.

    He wanted to get to the reserve price. The other bids came before he knew what the reserve was.

    Users complete offers (currently CPALead and Max Bounty), or visit sites (that pay me to list them) and earn FGG Points. These points are then used to enter free giveaways. 1 winner per giveaway.

    Think of it as a raffle but without the legalities of running a raffle as no money is being exchanged and everyone has an equal opportunity.
