Selling Crime and Mystery Website - Quick Sale

The Mystery District
www.themysterydistrict.com​

It is with great regret and sadness that I stand before you guys and girls today offering my hobby website: The Mystery District for sale. A community aimed at the discussion of crime, mysteries, conspiracy theories, ufo's and the paranormal.

The Mystery District was my salvation away from my sports network in which I was spending almost 18 hours a day on and was set up as topics and a niche I was interested in and something that I could spend some time on when things were getting a little stressful on my regular website.

However with my current work commitments, family commitments (I have a wife and a 2 and a half year old son) and the fact we are moving and time always get the better of me I need to look at getting out of the internet forum/community business.

While I would love to see the site remain in the same niche so I can still contribute to the discussions I understand that once you take over you can do what you want with it.

So what is involved in the sale:-
- The domain name: TheMysteryDistrict.com (expires 24/07/2011)
- vBulletin 3.8.x License (expires July 06 2010)
- Photopost License (brought just two weeks ago)
- vBSEO (expired Jan 10 2010 only $30 to renew)
- GfxStyle Theme w/ Branding Free option

Not Included:-
Hosting, this site is currently hosted on my dedicated server however with me attempting to get out of the internet business I have informed the hosting company that I no longer want my hosting and we are in the process of closing it down.

Extras:
All content becomes yours, I am not one of these guys who are going to come through and demand you remove my articles.

Downloads - I have paid some good money for current downloads that are available (currently to paid members) which include Department of Defence files re: UFO's, and other related downloads.

Photographs - we offer crime scene photos and photos people believe show ufo's/aliens/ghosts etc. Some of the crime scene photos which are very graphic and detailed I had to pay for to get, some are very hard to find.

Other photographs we are using with the permission of other websites etc.

For people who are skimming this the reason I am selling is personal issues and the fact I am getting out of the internet forum business.

Asking Price: $350.00 o.n.o
Payment: Through PayPal

I paid way more than $350 all up for this however don't want to walk away with nothing.

The website has never been monetized and only last week we added amazon ads there after being approved as a sales affiliate so expect income to be zero until you put the work in to push the sales.

Side note: If it remains in the same niche, which is completely up to you, but if it does I will still be there to contribute in discussions, articles, photos etc.

If you have any questions please feel free to post here or contact me through private message and I will attempt to answer ASAP. Looking for quick settlement.

 

I like the idea and it looks like at least some of the posts are of really high quality, but a forum with only 84 members out of which 21 has ever posted anything?

Please let me know if I misunderstood something.

 

We were hacked recently just as people started to post etc and we have spent the last two months re-building many of these members had just registered (after a big advertising campaign) then we were hacked that same day so they may not know that we are back.

We have just finished the re-build and it was only two days ago we finished and then the decision was made last night for me to get out of the internet business all together.

All of the reviews we have had on here, and countless other ones (which I can provide links to you if you like) have said that the concept of the site, layout etc is great and with the right marketing those doing the review think it can be very successful and while I would have loved to stick with it just work commitments, family commitments etc have gotten the best of me and my time and I would prefer to hand it on to someone who can find it useful in some way rather than just sitting there with the hope that I will find the time.

 

Price dropped to $300 as I want to get rid of this - will also throw in interviews and quiz script from vbcover and vbadvertiser and vbCommerce (unlimited shops) from vbCredits.

 

This has now been sold. Best of luck to the new owner of The Mystery District.
