Information on samurai swords and wholesalers:

Samurai swords are cheap, cheap cheap to buy wholesale. You can buy them for as little as $14 in America and sell them for anything up to $60-80. I don't know much about the American market but I used to ship them over here to the UK and sell them via PPC when I had a little warehouse, buying them for £18 after shipping costs and selling at £80-£110 - that's a high mark-up and I was making £280-£360/day in the days I had the swords in that folk wanted - standard black sets and katanas will fly out - stay away from fancy ones and coloured ones. I will give the buyer the contact information for the wholesaler in the USA who can provide you with all manner of samurai swords if you wish to go down this route and actually sell swords on the site and via PPC aswell - it would afterall be far more proffitable then AdSense. Obviously I haven't sold any swords on this site as I'm in the UK and all of the traffic on this site is from the US. When I owned a UK site back in 2003 sales conversions were between 2-4%.

BIDDING RULES

This is an auction and bids can be placed PRIVATELY or PUBLICALLY - so make sure at the end you put in your BEST BID despite what the bids actually are in public because I realise some people like to bid privately. This will ensure there are no problems when the auction ends.

AUCTION ENDS Wednesday, July 5, 2006 at 9:00:00 PM (New York time) - EDT - Eastern Daylight Time

LIVE COUNTDOWN (YOU CAN ALSO FIND THE TIME IN YOUR COUNTRY ON THIS PAGE)

Make sure you check as I have run auctions before and loads of people mailed afterwards going 'Damn I didn't realise it was this time in my country' 'Damn I missed it' etc.

There is no BUY IT NOW!

Good luck.

Pete

 

Ok i start the bidding with 200 $

 

$250 bid .....

 

have you ever made any advertising or linking campaign?

 

Linking was done using directories and syndicating articles through ezinearticles with the correct anchor texts in the resource boxes.

I haven't done any advertising for this site.

Pete

 

So the all links pointing to the site will stay , right?
Can i have adsense proof ?

300$ here.

 

Yeah all the links will stay and will actually grow as they do due to the articles that are hosted on ezines.

I have added a screenshot of the earnings in the orignal post.

Pete

Aicoma you get it wrong because stats are only for the frontpage I think.

450$ from me

 

Ghacks is Correct - the stats from eXTReMe Stats are simply for the index.html front page.

The 2 months of statistics I posted were of the entire sites overall visitors/pageviews for the previous 2 months.

Pete

Good luck with your sale.

Hi Gotsit,

I'd prefer the money 'cos I want to buy some fishing equipment and enjoy the brief sunny weather in the UK at the moment!

I have enough projects of my own and clients going on that require my attention.

Pete

 

At least we have something in common. I love fishing
