    I have an established entertainment forum that I'm looking to sell. It doesn't make a lot of money, however, I haven't really worked too hard to monetize it either.

    NAME : City Shag
    LINK : http://www.cityshag.com
    TYPE : Forum (SMF)
    MODS: Affiliate program, arcade, portal, rss auto feed poster, Photo gallery, links with ratings page, media center, ad management suite, etc.
    AGE of Site : About 3-4 months
    MEMBERS : 647
    POST COUNT : 19844

    Currently the site is getting about 400+ uniques per day. This could be much higher, but because I really only created the site for fun, I haven't spent that much time developing it.

    The site currently makes about $5/month from adbrite, but I'm sure much more could be made. There is a VERY flexible ad management setup on the site. You can easily place ads after each post, on top of the site, on the bottom of the site, etc without having to alter code, you just copy and paste the ad code into the ad management system and it does everything else. You can even rotate ads in a particular zone. Very cool setup!

    The site also has a HUGE cheat code database, music lyrics database, and a large collection of adult content as well. This was added not only to give more content to the site, but also as a means of developing further search engine traffic.

    The site also has it's own custom graphics so it has a more unique look. As part of the sale, I will include the graphics, all of the content/databases, and free hosting for a year on my server. You would also obviously get the domain and everything on the domain as well.

    I will also continue to post and moderate on the site if you would like. I enjoy using the site and communicating with people, I just don't have the time to really maintain it or market it or anything like that.

    The site gets a lot of traffic, but right now it's in a lull because I haven't had a lot of time to spend on it with so many projects going on. I used to post content on a daily basis and I stopped for a period of about 2 weeks... after I stopped the users didn't really have a lot to talk about.

    There are a lot of people that do come to the site through search engines however for the cheat codes, music lyrics, and adult content. There is actually quite a few that do this on a regular basis. In fact, the site had over 5,000 uniques last month with almost 13,000 visitors, so it's obvious that quite a few users come back on a regular basis.

    As for the price, I'm looking for offers right now to see what I can get on it. I've seen other sites with less content, less traffic, and fewer users go for upwards of $1500. I don't expect anywhere near this much, but I do realize the value in that many uniques as it could easily be converted into usable sustaining traffic for the right person.
