Selling Established Xbox Forum

    This is a relist since last time I didn't recieve any suitable bids, so I kept onto it just so I can show that the activity wasn't just a sudden hit and will remain constant. I've not been working on it since the last listing at all, all of this is just continued from the work I originally did.

    DOMAIN: XBOXMARKETS.COM

    DESCRIPTION: XBOX AND XBOX 360 FORUM. THERE IS A HOMEPAGE BUT IT'S NOT WORKING AT ALL, I'M NEW TO AMAZON AFFILIATE AND HAVEN'T ATTEMPTED TO TWEAK IT SINCE I DON'T REALLY NEED TO. THE FORUM IS ACTIVE THOUGH SO THAT'S MAINLY WHAT SELLING.

    TRAFFIC DESCRIPTION: YOUTUBE (ACCOUNT INCLUDED), TWITTER (ACCOUNT INCLUDED), GAMING FORUMS
    300-400 UNIQUE HITS DAILY REGULARLY, GOES UP TO 500 SOME DAYS

    New Traffic Screenshot:
    [​IMG]

    Old Traffic Screenshots (from last listing):
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Screenshot to show proof of premium purchases:
    [​IMG]

    So far there has been 25 premium purchases at $1 each, excluding the couple minor issues of people buying then cancelling, but vBulletin automatically removes it from them if they try and dispute.
    Also I've won all the paypal disputes so far, just copy the email you recieve saying they've been upgraded to premium, and you should win.

    I haven't attempted to monetise this forum which is why the earnings are so low, you could easily optimise this to earn more. Fix up the homepage, and fixing the forum to easily increase sales!

    The website template was a free template I found and the forum was also a free vbulletin template, however I modified a lot of the images on the vbulletin template and implemented the header from the homepage.

    Registration statistics are jumping up and down, which is quite odd. The lowest we've had in the full month is 7, and last time I listed it was 11. Yet we've also had 46 registrations in one day in the last month, so it kinda varies between them all.
    There is 200+ posts per day.
    And an average of 25 threads per day, another random statistic which jumps up and down daily.

    Domain is with NameCheap. Hosted on my dedicated server.

    ASSUME NO REVENUE!! I PUT 0 FOR A REASON. THERE IS SOME REVENUE AND POTENTIALLY LOTS, BUT JUST ASSUME NONE.

    Ask if you need anything else.

    I see you previously had an xbox forum Rybez.com , you then sold it. I take it that all the traffic is coming from Rybez.com because its now redirected to xboxmarket ? So im assuming you are including Rybez.com with the sale too ?

    Also seems that alot of your old members from Rybez have now come to xbox markets , how do i know you wont start another forum and get the members to change to that one again ? Will you sign a non compete clause ?

    Rybez fell through after a charge back.

    Rybez.com domain is included with the sale, hosted at 123-reg.co.uk

    I won't make a new xbox forum, i'll sign a written thing saying this if requested.

    As soon as I recieve a bid that I'd be interested in accepting.

    I'm definately selling it so I'll take the highest offer on the 15th anyway.

    Interested.. Does it include the vb license and vbseo license?

    If so i'll bid $300 here..

    --Thanks!

    UPDATE:

    I know you said Rybez.com is included but from the sounds of this thread you sold it after the dispute deal was resolved and stated that it was a successful transaction carried over msn chat?

    --Thanks!

    I can't transfer the vBulletin license since it hasn't been a year since it was transferred to me.

    Plus I'm making an offline marketed, 'make money online' forum. Just thought I'd give it a shot and see how that goes for me, should be fun :p

    It went smooth and a few days later he charged back, because I was making an amazon affiliate website (the website on XM not the forum), which was apparently going to steal all his traffic. He charged back via PayPal, so I just added a forum to the website and about a week later managed to get the domain back. So the trade was originally succesful, but fell through.
    Hope that clears up any problems you may have.

    I'm going to sleep now, it's 11pm in UK and I'm tired.

    I'll speak to your tomorrow if you're online, I'll just download AIM on this laptop, since my laptop is being repaired.

    Thanks, night.

    How come 35.41% of your sites traffic is reffered from it's own site or is the forum part a subdomain?

    Highest bid is at $650 and will not be able to pay right now.

    Can anyone match this or throw in a good offer to pay now.
