[Appraisal] How much is my forum worth?

    Hi,

    I own a forum with about 9300 members (average of 40 new members per day).
    It's niche is the "Melbourne Shuffle", an Australian (turned worldwide by me lol) underground dance. It makes a very steady $10 per day from adsense and requires next to no work to run it, I don't even go on it most days.

    Since I'm 16 and got my Paypal account locked, and can't open it until 18, I can't sell any merchandise over the site, but when mentioning that I would sell clothes on the site etc... I had over 50 members express interest to buy items for over $80 ea. If I sold merchandise over the site (which I may do in the future) I could easily make around $3000 per week (if it was fully setup).

    So yeah, could I get an appraisal? It's been up for almost a year now and has about 2500-3000 uniques per day. I also have youtube videos with over 3.5 million views linking to it :)

    Thanks.

    P.S. Site is in my sig.

    "I could easily make around $3000 per week" seems a bit of an over-estimate!

    It depends on the revenue your making now, it also needs to be a consistent stream of income (a stable niche), what kind of niche is the shuffle is it a hype or a real niche. That will make a lot of difference in the appraisal value. Its a shame you can't cash in on the success now.

    Sorry, I actually meant per month LOL. Sorry about that ^^

    Edit: Yeah I agree Sydney, it's a shame. It's niche is underground dancing, basically rave gear, electro music and a few others combined into one. It's growing by 40 members a day, seems pretty damn stable to me.

    you can get another paypal.
    Just get a free bank account at a local bank and set up another paypal account with that info.
