BREAKING NEWS: eNthem.com internet project is for sale.

Thanks! Glad you like it!

 

What makes me weary is that you are letting it sell for around $2,500 when it makes $10,000 as month

Are you planning on pulling the auction right before it finishes?

 

Ditto that yfs1, I have also maintained a close watch on that ebay auction - and the same thing struck me too....

stansoft - Its a very unique concept and a brilliant idea nonetheless

Does that mean he didn't even own the site?

 

To those of you who are wondering what happened with the auction...

Those idiots at eBay... what happened is I had two eBay accounts with the name enthem in them and that was obviously a violation of their idiotic policy that you can't own two accounts, because both of my accounts were suspended...

What's funny is this had to happen on the last day of the biggest auction of my life... that really sucks!! But oh well, whatever happens, happens for a reason. Today I got a call from a really passionate entrepreneur, who showed a huge amount of interest in my project during the course of the auction and we've mutually agreed on a sales deal. I'm really happy that he will be the new owner because the passion and intensity I saw in him, is really more valuable than any amount of money, because I poured my heart into this thing and I wanted to see somebody who will share my passion and vision with me and this man certainly fits this criteria!

I want to thank all of you for your support during the course of the auction and want to apologize to those bidders who bid on this auction only to see it end this way!

Today is a happy and sad day for me, because I have to part with something that I really, really put my heart into and love, but I'm happy for the new owner and you know my life motto, whatever happens, happens for a reason! Look for my new project in September.


eNthem on!

 

When you are selling a project like that, the way I see it is it is better to sell it without a reserve because no reserve means that everybody has a chance to bid and the final price does not have a limit, that way a bidding war can start! I had 53 watchers before eBay pulled the auction, which means that the interest was high and I am sure that from those 53 watchers there were a few snipers waiting until the last minute to bid! Who knows what the number of watchers would be, if I was to have a reserve... you see what I mean? So the $2,500 price tag that was there, would most probably change in the last few minutes and change dramatically, at least that's the way it usually goes! In this particular situation no reserve = huge risk, but I always love to live by the rule: "He who doesn't take risk, doesn't drink champagne"... and most of the times this motto has worked for me.

 

and thats why ebay sucks
