    What would you estimate a database with 17.2 million business listings (i.e. full name, website, phone number, etc) at? The seller claims 150,000 yet websites like http://www.specialdatabases.com/us-business-list-database.html sell way more for only $500.

    He says the data is obtained legally and that's the difference (i.e. he has permission to put the listings up because the businesses directly consented to this), but at 3,000,000+ Alexa ranking, I find it hard to believe this site has gotten that many businesses to create a profile.

    Here you can see the website and the (Google cached) listing on website broker

    Code (markup):
    My gut tells me this guy thinks he can pull some kind of fast one by asking $250k for this website, but is it unreasonable to think this could be sold for $10,000?

    edit: the site may be down on occasion, apparently they're moving servers or something :-\

    Putting your whole post in bold strains the eyes :(

    Perhaps edit it and make it so it's not bold and nice to read so we can appraise it? :)

    Can you get over it and answer the question?

    Or here's an idea, if its that much of a problem for you copy and paste it to a **** text editor that will ignore the formatting so you can read it.

    Does this bother you too?
    ;)

    It hard to read when it's all bold - trust me or not

    With that attitude, you're not getting an appraisal ;) Sorry!
