Selling Boat classified ad site with great traffic

Discussion in 'Sites' started by bmac, May 6, 2013.

    This site is a classified ad site for crownline (higher end boat company) boats for sale. The site itself is three or four years old and I have not even touched the site in over a year. For some reason I can not access the wp-admin area of the site but I am having someone fix that now. As I said nothing has been done with it in a long time. I used to make a few hundred per month on it but that has been a while back so no revenues in the past year.

    The site does not have GA installed or at least I dont think it does but the cpanel stats has shown good traffic over the past year with over 10k visitors per month and around 50k page views. This would be a great site to charge for ads (currently just free ads with about 1k ads on there) or you could sell ad space to crownline dealers. Even at $20 a month for a dealer to list all their inventory you could still make good money if you find 5 to 10 dealers. You could also ad adsense to it. I will fix the site and get the admin working right but assume no revenues. I have posted the webalizer stats. Asking $400 because I had a dealer offer me twice that just for the name a few years ago but this would be a great site to flip. You could just buy it and email all the dealers and flip it for twice the money or keep it and put adsense on it.

    All the traffic is search engine traffic. Open to offers and maybe even a trade but no junk.

    Quite a big risk without any decent stats or proof of revenue. There is no content on the site, no Alexa rank. Don't you think you are asking a bit to much?

    Someone is doing some work on the site right now but will be back up soon. I so have cpanel stats but assume no revenues since it does not have Adsense on it. It may be a little high for buyers on here but for a crownline or any used boat dealer it's not so I may just wait and market it to them but I am open to offers.

    I agree with you.
    Simple site with free ad plugin installed for $400. LOL

    No one is silly to not take advantage of such a huge traffic as claimed. So big traffic and no revenue? or does it actually have that much traffic? no GA installed? how come ? you are a professional website flipper as you said and didn't install GA on a website which gets huge traffic? a flipper knows that every buyer asks for proofs !

    CPanel Stats are meaningless.

    If I'm not interested why the hell I'm wasting time to look at your listing?
    1800 listings, how much of them are real??
    You realised that I'm not the kind of person who can get cheated easily. Is it the reason you want me to shut my mouth up and asking me to move on? let other buy? watch you language !!

    The site is sold to bluebonic. And for the record softtech2 the point is it is very unprofessional to just start bashing someone for no reason but after reading a lot of your post I see you are just a jerk in general and rude. I see a lot of sites here that I think are over priced but I dont trash talk the sellers I simply hit the back button and keep looking. The boats are all real and the reason I dont want you commenting is simply because I dont want to waste my time with you
