    Yeah, any website that claims to give valuations is utter crap.

    It has no idea what you do with your traffic.

    I agree with Jeff. A "valuation" site that knows nothing about your website except the URL - not the earnings, not the size of your mailing list, not your advertising deals etc. can't possibly provide a valuation. I've never understood why people trust them.

    A site is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. There's a detailed study of pricing here and charts of how much other forums have actually sold for.

    For me these details are perfect about 1000-4000 euros.

    Presumably about $200 (tops) since it is very new and is still in the early stages :)

    I think the site with PR2 and 2600 visitors a day is good site to buy for a price of $150 USD. But the problem is, only 50 registered members. So it would be better to add some more members and you can get good price of you forum site.

    It depends on more factors e.g. domain name... I would say anywhere between 100-1000.
