    Hi Everybody

    We just spent $x,xxx on a project on Friday. It's being revamped right now and everybody will hear about it.

    In the meantime, I am trying to sell off some of my websites that I do not have enough time to maintain and would therefore like to monetize them now and have them land in better hands.

    I bought this website www.bizcooler.com from a DP member here 'petertdavis' via this thread for $200 : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=13339

    The site is now a PR4 and nothing else I feel has changed as far as the website is concerned. I am looking to sell this.

    Starting BID: $299
    Buy Now: $750
    Increments $25

    Post/PM questions.

    Would you have stats available?

    Also, how did you arrive at those prices (299, 750)?

    Thanks!

    Is the co-op weight still in the 5K range? or did it drop?

    The site is up since Oct 2004
    and the monthly unique numbers are:
    Sep-05 801 (As of 24th September)
    Aug-05 1032
    Jul-05 2411
    Jun-05 1306
    May-05 1499
    Apr-05 993
    Mar-05 285
    Feb-05 115
    Jan-05 144
    Dec-04 210
    Nov-04 133
    Oct-04 105

    So, I would say it's at around 1000 uniques a month. Nothing great. I bought it thinking I would grow it, but I just do not have the time to.

    I bought the website for $200 a couple months back, and therefore I would like to get a little better price. $299 is therefore the minimum bid, lower then that, I would just keep it as it is. Can't hurt. $750 BIN is a number that I came up with, as a buy now price.

    The coop formula changed, the site was bought when the coop used to be like that, since then it is Base: 568. Nothing has changed.

    I would include it.

    In case nobody noticed, when I sold it to Honey for $200, I wasn't including the vBulletin licesne. If her $299 minimum bid includes the license (as she suggests with the comment "I would include it"), bidders should take that into consideration.

    I can also confirm the comment about the coop forumula changing. It doesn't mean the site has less weight, it just means the calculation for weight changed. All sites in the coop changed at that time.

    I just renewed the VB license member area access, it's an owned license. Upgrading to 3.50 soon.
