    Welcome to this auction you are bidding on a very attractive Leather & Jewellery site.

    Aimed at Gothic & Heavy metal lifestyles. We have gradually established ourselves as a popular and well know site in this industry.
    The products have an excellent mark-up and there are many 1000's more to list if the buyer so chooses. This is an excellent opportunity for the right buyer as this is a very profitable niche.
    Great site, with good organic SE Traffic. Well known and respected in the industry.


    The sale comes with a list of top class suppliers, some of which are extremely hard to find.

    The site has been heavily modified with Oscommerce contributions for easy of use and to make the site SE friendly. The site has a PR2 at the moment. PR2 is on a many other pages also. The site is fully SSL secured once logged in.

    The logo was professionally designed by a company in London at a cost of 500.

    I have put a lot of time and work into this site, but I've no choice other than to sell.

    Reason for Selling:
    We have other business interests, plus we will be building in the Summer, I just won't have time to run it.


    Hopefully I have included enough information, please let me know if you have any questions.
    Revenue Details:

    Up until a few weeks ago all the revenue came directly from sales.

    We added adsense a few weeks back weeks back for the first time. See attachemnt for details.

    Traffic Details:

    All traffic from the last 3 months is organic about 80-100 visitors aday.
    Before that it was over 200 visitors aday, this included using adwords. cost of that was about $3 a day.

    We havent really pushed this site over the last few months, not had the time to be honest. But with some marketing it can be an excellent money maker.

    The site was listed a few weeks back but the deal wasnt complete. (I was away for a weeks and then buyer wouldnt wait till my return.)

    Anyways, since it must sell, otherwise all the seo work will gradually wear off if not in use, there is a VERY low starting price of $300.

    Please ask for more stats.

    Thank you for your interest.

    Ok, now I'm a little confused.

    Walker2007 is selling this site, but didn't you just buy it from Kamesh in May?

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=322357&highlight=metal

    Why would you have the exact same text as the original seller? You can't both be selling for the same exact reason of building this summer. I realize it says that the buyer fell through, but according to the thread above Walker2007 bought it from Kamesh in May. If Kamesh sold it because he was building this summer than why is Walker2007 selling it 2 mths later?

    I'm not saying the sale isn't legit, just trying to find out why the same copy is being used for both sales by two different owners.

    I had kamesh list it for me awhile back as I hadnt enough posts to do so.
    I asked the odd question to keep it bumped.
    you can check that no ownership has changed since I purchased the domain back in jan 2006.
    Thanks,
