PC101 Computer Forum - FOR SALE

Hey y'all,

I'm thinking I don't have as much time as I need to properly develop PC101 ... and not have it take years!

1. 2006 Traffic

2. I tried to monetize from the beginning but after reading the advise of more experienced forum owners/admins on AdminFusion, I backed off. EDIT: Adsense is actually 'bout $2.53/month.

3. Staff consists of myself and one other. I've made him aware of a potential sale but haven't heard back from him yet. I'm fairly certain he'll stay and I'm happy to stick around for a time also.

4. I'm selling everything! Domain name... license... everything!

So, if anyone is interested.... I'm looking for offers in the low - mid $xxxx range. The domain name alone is a doozy!

Thanks!

An unmonetised forum with 350 members ... $5k? Am I missing something?

That would mean you are valuing the domain at ~$4.5k ...

 

Sorry PC101 but I was thinking the same thing

Makes me wonder what my PC Support forum is worth (9,000 members, 70,000 posts, 15 staff, 4million hits per month, c4k uniques per day)>?

You have waaay overpriced this I'm afraid....

 

I think the domain name IS quite valuable. Short, memorable, and describes the site wel. Plus its a pagerank 4 domain. I could see the domain fetching low $XXXX or high $XXX to the right buyer. But, thats just my opinion.

On sedo:
umpc101.com 10,000 $US
mobilepc101.com 10,000 $US
ultramobilepc101.com 10,000 $US

One thing I did notice is that you have HORRIBLE searh engine results. I typed "pc101.com" in google and you were the last result on the page. OUCH!

Get a professional appraisal

 

A site is only worth what someone will pay for it. Not a penny more.

The fact that sedo lists ultramobilepc101.com for 10k should tell you how much you should rely on those ridiculous estimates.

 

I couldnt agree more. Just citing some examples on why I would get a professional appraisal and what comparative domains are listed at.

 

Seriously.....

Have a think about the price PC101 and I'm sure you will sell this site to someone who wants to get into this field

 

Ouch this is really overpriced.

 

You are correct Sir!

I've asked around ... of more experienced domainers than I.... and the consensus is that the domain alone is worth low $ xxxx.

After the domain name, one must then consider the value of the license, skin, PR, current membership, time, effort...etc...etc. So, I don't think low-mid $xxxx is really asking a lot.

Also, according to the experienced Admins I've talked to, going after the money if a classic noob mistake when starting a forum. The site isn't trying to earn money... not yet anyway.

I'm not desperate to sell so if I must wait for just the right buyer, I'm happy!

As for the search engine results... yeah, I know! I'm working on it but time is short and my SEO skills are minimal!

p.s. Adsense is actually 'bout $2.53/month.

 

am i missing something, or is the 2nd thread about this site ? *confused*

 

I'll start with $500 bid.

 

Hey Omega,

I appreciate the offer!

I'm getting the feeling I'm not supposed to sell this thing but rather I'm to keep at it! I was going to edit my OP but that's not available to me any longer. So...

At this point my game plan is to upgrade everything (skin & VB), add new Moderator(s) and hopefully find a partner to help with the marketing/development.

I've not posted on asking for Mods or a partner but if anyone has interest in either of these areas feel free to PM me!

If you decide to sell for closer to $1000 I may be interested.

Cheers,
Ian
