    Just because its recession time doesn't mean sites should sell for 3 months revenue. The price is fair. $600-$1000. It's a lot because you get what you pay for. $200 would get you a site making $20/month.

    The price is completely fair. This isn't a bargain site or one you will get a great deal on. Its a quality forum, built from the ground up by me. I am asking an honest price for all of my hard work. The buyer will be left with a healthy forum that has tons of potential. This isnt one of those forums you see where its dead, has fake members, paid posts, etc. You get what you pay for.

    BTW, i will get those screenshots for you later today.

    I offer $250

    The site has a limited lifetime due to it having 'DSi' in the domain. The majority of revenue is achieved through an unreliable source.

    You have a nice community however community does not equal $$$$ it equals a lot of hard work for little $$

    I do not see it as having a "limited lifetime". I have seen my search engine traffic grow steadily since the release of the DSi in early April. This "limited lifetime" is pretty long term, since Nintendo will not release another handheld anytime soon. So DSi will be relevant in terms of searches for years and years to come. Thats not limited if you ask me.

    I can assure the buyer, regardless of what your opinion is, that the search terms we are ranked well for will continue to grow for years. Especially terms such as "dsi roms" and "homebrew" related terms.

    No offers lower than $500 will be considered. I will not waste my hard work for $500. The $400 offer might be considered if no one bids. Thanks

    As stated in the original post (if you didnt see it) the starting price, and the lowest I will go is $500. Also stated in the original post, most of the traffic is coming from Google search traffic. 100% targeted organic traffic, the most profitable.
